FROM TANYA:

"Thought that I would share an encouraging word about the embrace project.

I was at a funeral yesterday, and someone was telling the story of a gentlemen approaching a girl in a laundry mat and reimbursing her for the laundry she had just done. She had been struggling with things going on at home and she was not in a good place, and told them that he did not know hard times.


The person telling the story, said she was really touched that someone took the time to listen to her story. Everyone listening to the story wanted to know what church the gentlemen were from. The woman said, New Hope.

What a testimony, how the Lord is leading this church, just one person at the time.
EMBRACE, IT WORKS....."

Super extra proud of Aaron Molaud, Nathanael Gilstrap, and Austin Williford for turning up the love to laundromat folks last night for our Embrace Project! We told one girl we'd pay for her laundry and she said "I don't believe ya'll!" probably 4 times (at least). His goodness is too good to keep to ourselves ;) @AdamJames

Had fun EMBRACING people at the ASU University Village tonight!!! @ReneeFlippo

SO excited for the very first of the Embrace projects tonight!! @HaleyLamb

Hey Guys,

Just thought I would shoot a message to you guys letting you know that I got some feedback from my guys tonight about how their "Mail-Person" gift went from last week.
The nature of our embrace project didn't allow for me to hear back until now about how it went.
Caleb Candler's Mail woman left him a note and I made a copy of it. It said the following:
"Oh My Gosh - Thank You! Made Me Cry "Happy Tears"!! It's Easy With Good God Loving People Like You! Thank You!" ~ Rebokah
Tyler Best Mail Person left him a note that said:
"Thank you as you made my day! It brough a smile to my face!"
Just wanted to let you guys know some of what I've been hearing from the responses.
Thanks!
