Our tenancy at the G.A.P. will end as of April 1st 2008 – Yes, it is April Fools Day but we are really moving, as the G.A.P. needs the space that we have been renting at their location. We have been contacted by the City of Rancho Cucamonga with an offer to apply for space in a building that has been empty for a while now. It used to be the Senior Recreation Center on Arrow Route but is being reestablished as a community outreach with a variety of different ministries and programs to serve the pubic and their needs. We are praying that we are granted the privilege to take advantage of this opportunity but at this point it is only a possibility for us and wouldn’t be ready until an unknown date in May 2008. Since our tenancy at the G.A.P. ends on April 1st we are facing an interim move and a brief halt to packing backpacks until we can relocate. It is our intention at the moment to move our office furniture and supplies into a public storage for approximately a month. The T.O.U.C.H Computer will be temporarily moved to the home of Connie Perlick so that we can keep the e-mail up and running and conduct business in a limited way until we have a place to move into. Our plans are to move from our office to public storage on Saturday, March 15th.
We will need volunteers to help us make our interim move on March 15th and are looking for volunteers with trucks and a few hours to serve in helping us get everything into the storage.
We are praying of course that we can save our funds for serving the homeless and needy and won’t have to move into the public storage facility. We are desperately seeking out someone that may have approximately 250 square feet of space to temporarily store our furniture and supplies until we can relocate. If this is you or if you know of someone who may be able to help in this way it would be an answer to prayer.
Our prayers are also in finding a building or space with a minimum of 500 square feet for our new permanent location. It would be a miracle to find such a place before March 15th so that we would only have to move once and not have any down time in the ministry. Finding something permanent at anytime though– whether before or after we vacate our current location would be an answer to prayer. We don’t know what God has planned here and are watching and waiting to see how He will provide. What we do know is that He will provide in His special time, which is seldom early but never late. He will touch the heart of a special person or persons empowering and enabling as only He can. We believe that it is in His will to care for the homeless and needy and that as we pray things are going to happen that will knock our socks off. Please pray with us that His will be done and share in watching for the miracles that will follow.
Please call the T.O.U.C.H. cell phone number (909) 921-3748 or e-mail touch14god@yahoo.com A.S.A.P. if you or someone you know would be able to assist in any of these areas.
