I am not going to exaggerate false expectations that we can create a metamorphosis in a day and revolutionize the cancer spreading effects of child Sexual Molestation. But, I can encourage you to come out SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15TH to create a bridge of HOPE for the victims that have been hindered and harmed by its effects.
Simply put, #KidsMatter…
At our Home-Team Volunteer Day at Jonathan’s Place Orphanage you will come face to face with children that have been victims of heinous attacks on their innocence and self worth. This best part is that you will have the opportunity to be a conduit of LOVE and make a kid SMILE.
Don’t miss this LIFE GIVING event. It’s FREE and it’s open to the public. RSVP below and we hope to see you SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 15TH at Jonathan’s Place.
“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
-John 14:18
