Our Night Before Christmas

On the night before our snowy Christmas, in a crowded store, our checkout clerk broke down in uncontrollable sobs. I had just told her how The Well helps hurting, abused, and even homeless single moms. She told me that she had lost her apartment a few days before and was staying at a cheap roach motel. She looked like anyone’s mom. All the local social services were closed for The holiday and she was out of money. She was about to be on the street on Christmas Day.

Why didn’t she go to a church for help? She did. A pastor gave his word to help and later changed his mind. (I spoke to him personally and found that this is exactly what happened.)

But we got the blessing!! The Well helped her stay in the hotel over Christmas until she could move to be with family out of state, which she did.

Breaking your word is bad enough, but going back on a promise to help a desperate person could drive them to hopeless despair. Aren’t you glad Christ doesn’t break his word? Colorado is #6 in suicide nationally, and the Loveland area leads the state. Vulnerable people are driven to homelessness and hopelessness constantly as the cost of living rises. Imagine your rent increasing by $200 at a time when you are a fixed income or a minimum wage, single income household.

The Well is a faith-based ministry that believes the message of Christ is the answer to the world’s problems today. We believe everyone needs to see the Love of Christ and to hear the message of the Love of Christ.

The Well is funded by people who believe the same thing and want to spread the message of the love of Christ!

We need your help to continue this ministry each month. Each month is a walk of faith to do ministry and meet the monthly obligations of this ministry. First, we need your prayers for greater expansion of this work. Second, we ask you to pray and ask the Father how you might help financially support this ministry. Please let us know how we can pray for you!
