Hands of Christ

This is Mone'.   She is the 50,000th child that we have served since our inception in 2003.  She was greeted with a standing ovation by our volunteers as she entered the feloowship hall at Zion Olivet on Saturday August 6.   Mone is a special child simply because she is a child of God.  She represents all the children that we have served over these 15 years, black, white, brown, yellow, and every shade in between.  She repesents the vision of our founders, the Rev. Drs. Tammy Gregory Carter, Sidney Davis, and that mission team in 2002 that went to observe Manos de Cristo in Austin, TX.  She represents the work of our hundreds of volunteers who have served over this time and especially t hework of our Operations Team.  She represents our philosophy of serving one child at a time in Christ's name. She represents the confidence that our granting agencies and congregations have in us as expressed by their financial support. She represents the 140+ year wall that came tumbling down that had separated our congregations since the War Between the states. She represents the Holy Spirit that has guided us as we started up and continually tweak our process.  She represents the work of the Steering Committee and our congregational liaisons and site directors.  She represents the work of our Board of Directors as they have provided oversight.  She represents our small, humble efforts to be Christ's hands, feet, and arms in this world as we try to live out the Great Ends of the Church as we pray they kingdom come, thy will be done.
