Ministry Highlight

by Annette Reich

This month will bring about the end of the school year and a break in everyday routines. I have always found it interesting that by the end of May, students are more than ready to be finished with school, and then by August, they are itching to get back into the swing of structure and routine! I love the seasons and the changes they bring.

This month, we ask that you pray for each of our children. They have unique needs, and we pray that God will meet each of them in his timing and in His way. Pray for our House Parents as they continue the equipping process that continues throughout their employment at FCHC.

We are also looking for additional staff for our Four Corners Families program. Maybe it’s you, or perhaps you know the perfect woman to mentor mothers and children! If so, please reach out to us at 505.325.0255.

We would also like to know how to pray for you. Please send us your request at Annette@4ch4c.org.
