Our Testimonials
It’s a spiritual awakening by y’all coming outside of the church to support communities because it shows the church ain’t just the church, the church offers a helping hand in the time of need. I’m a grown man right now but it’s a need for the children behind me to see that – to get a different perspective, a different outlook.
In order for us to build relationships with our families – our community, we have to be present to show that we really do care for the children and we care for the whole family. And so events like this are right in line with what we want to support and where we want to be present to say we’re at the table collaborating with community partners and governmental entities to make success for our families.
I like the gathering of the community coming together and becoming one – we are family and we can all do something to help each other and this is a great community event!
My favorite part of this event today is the bounce house, the food and Gizmo…and Superbook! I like that it tells you about what God does when you’re in need of help.
We take for granted that everyone knows what a nutritious meal means – and they don’t. And so through this kind of event and through our community kitchen, we’re really going to be able to show them hands on – what does a nutritious meal look like when you’re feeding your kids? How much vegetables should they have? More importantly, how do you prepare the vegetables so they’re delicious, right, because that’s the key to getting kids to eat healthy food.
We know that a lot of us are dying from heart attacks, heart disease, stroke, and 80% of that can be changed with diet and exercise. So I wanted to share my story of prevention and really hope that that inspires someone to make little changes one day at a time.
It’s come to show love and unity this time of the year.
It’s wonderful to know that people love you and that they are in the neighborhood to help you,”
It’s a good thing and yes, can’t you feel the love of Jesus? Just joy radiating in my soul.
It’s really kind of incredible having CBN’s spearheading effort for this event. None of these organizations would have been able to pull it off without all combining together – so the collaboration has been phenomenal.
