Thank You All For Helping Us Grow!!

The staff members at Life Challenge would like to take this opportunity to thank our volunteers and supporters for their continued donation of time and/or funds to our facility.  We are blessed to have such dedicated and generous members of our community.

As of now we have 11 volunteers from local churches in our area that faithfully donate their time to teach Bible classes or spend time in the home.  We have one volunteer who comes from Wachovia to help the ladies with their finances.  Another volunteer has been doing music with them, and they are actually working on writing lyrics to a song.  We are also very grateful for the volunteers who helped us start two gardens and plant flowers here at the home.  The ladies also participate in group and individual counseling, exercise,  and life skills as a weekly curriculum.  We can always use volunteers who are blessed with various skills to come to share and teach with the ladies.

At this time, we have 4 ladies in our care at Life Challenge WNC.  We have received other applications from various locations, and are praying for other ladies to be sent to us.  The ladies gave their testimonies last month at Little Savannah Baptist Church on May 21, and Dellwood Baptist Church in Waynesville on May 24, 2009.  We took them to a Casting Crowns concert at the Asheville Civic Center on May 14.  Two of our ladies had their first visits with their families May 15-19.  We have had one resident to accept Christ as Lord and Savior, and she was baptised on June 7th at Lighthouse Baptist Church.

The staff here at Life Challenge feel that all of the ladies are making significant progress.  Our main focus is to help them heal and to provide a safe, structured environment for them to do so.  We thank all of you again for your continued support to our program.
