Days 5 and 6: FHL Week 2009

It seems like the days go by so fast during FHL Week and yet it feels like God stretches each minute of the day so that we have all we need to get the work done. Dozens of projects and services were performed by hundreds of volunteers in Central Indiana.

Light Construction at residential homes, playground clean up and bottle water giveaway at apartment complex were among the many projects in the Urban area
Visiting Nursing and Retirement Home outreaches by the Greenwood and Nora-Castleton areas
Gardening in Avon, IN by the West side area and by the Multi-Cultural ministry of FHL
Continued effort of community restoration of the Noblesvilles area (Riverwood Community) and the Northwest area (Elizaville)
At least 20 individuals have come to salvation in the Lord to date

There are dozens of untold stories of unconditional love that I have not yet heard. There are people that are part of those untold stories of unconditional love I have not had the opportunity to visit yet. Please send your stories pictures and video coverage to FHL, 8383 Craig St. Ste 335 Indianapolis, IN or email at merlin@fhlinternational.org

Here are links to check out some of the projects and services:

There are several projects and services scheduled today, Saturday, July 25th, from Johnson County to Hamilton County. I may have missed some events today, but below are some of them:

Community Cookout with live music at Metro Baptist Center 952 N. Pennsylvania, noon to 4p (Urban area)
Single Mom Oil Change (West side area)
Elizaville Town dedication (Northwest area)
Fishers Community worship at Holland Park, Fishers, 5:30pm (Nora/Castleton area)

The rain came during the first day of FHL Week and while I am writing this, rain is pouring down again. It seems like a symbolism of God’s outpouring of His blessings in our communities. Yes, God had and have been scattering His resources and His love everywhere. You and I have the privilege to join God in distributing His blessings where ever we go…bringing His Presence and Glory anywhere, anytime.

FHL Week is not just a week event but a start of continued flow of God’s grace and love in our neighborhoods.

God Bless,

Merlin
