Valero Gift to the Mission
We have exciting news, in case you haven't heard -- the Living Water Rescue Mission was recently the recipient of an award of $14,000 donated by Valero of Albion, Nebraska! Valero employees participated in a fundraiser through sponsorship of the 2011 Valero Texas Open and Benefit for Children Golf Classic in San Antonio, Texas -- Jim Dickerson of the Albion News reports the following quote from Andy Roberts, manager of the Valero Renewables - Albion Refinery: ""This is just one of several locations that will proudly distribute funds to children’s charities throughout North America this year," said Roberts. "These gifts enable our community agencies to continue their good work for the many children they serve. We appreciate all that these agencies do to improve children’s lives."' Dickerson further wrote: "Thanks to the generosity of Valero’s business partners and sponsors, the Valero Texas Open remains one of the most charitable tournaments on the PGA Tour," said Roberts." We are grateful to God and to Valero for this gift, and we are grateful for the opportunity to partner with other organizations who provide resources for the needs of children. Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these." (Matthew 19:14 NIV) Some of the ways we are able to help are in providing food baskets to families in need, providing needed clothing and household items, and providing Bible study and chapel services to families coming in to receive food baskets. We received feedback from one mother who came back to the mission after receiving some clothing and other household items, who said her little girl was so happy when they got home with their bounty of the previous trip, the little girl shouted out to her sibling at home, "look what Jesus gave us!!" That's the kind of feedback we like!!
2011 Celebration Banquet Just Around the Corner!
We have more fun in store! On November 14th, 2011, the Living Water Rescue Mission will host its 2011 Celebration Banquet at the York City Auditorium at 6th and Nebraska Avenue! Seating will begin at 6 p.m., and dinner is served at 6:30 p.m. sharp!! We'll have a great dinner, great music, testimonies of lives transformed by the love of Christ, and all at no charge! We will be taking reservations, in order to be sure to have enough food and seating. Please call the mission at 402-362-0127 to reserve seats for your co-workers, friends, or family, or all of the above! We are asking for table sponsors -- $125 to sponsor one table, and we hope God will abundantly increase attendance this year from the 300 we served in 2010. Please consider sponsoring a table. The banquets are a true blessing to each one who comes and hears all that God has been doing in and through His people! "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another - and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews 10:25
