"... we need to get busy!"

What a great day yesterday-four ladies from Elk Horn Lutheran Church in Elk Horn Iowa came to drop off more donations and take a tour of Open Door Mission. Elk Horn Lutheran is a faithful supporter of Open Door Mission-they have had “Undie Sunday”, collected Bibles (including Spanish Bibles) and other Christian books and are now collecting linens to help provide sheets, towels and blankets. These ladies spent time talking with staff and asking questions as we toured most of Open Door Mission. They were amazed at all the programs and help that Open Door Mission offered to the homeless and near homeless in the community.

When we were in the car at the end of the tour these women looked at each and said…”well there is a lot that is needed, we need to get busy.” What a wonderful caring attitude-not "look what we have helped do", but "we need to not only keep on doing, but do more!" Have you had a tour of Open Door Mission? Do you know what we do down here by the airport? Do you want to help change lives for eternity?

Come see how you can provide hope and help to those less fortunate in the community-help change a life. I will help you set up a tour, or organize a collection drive for food or Beat the Heat items. I'd love to hear from you at 402-422-1111, or email mcope@opendoormission.org
