Several years ago, Highland helped start a ministry to homeless pregnant women called FIT. Recently, one of the women Highland sponsors (Jocelyn) and another woman (Bethany) were baptized into Christ.
In many ways their stories exemplify what we hope to do for more and more of the poor in Memphis: God’s enabled us to meet both spiritual and physical needs; God’s empowered us to work with them over a long period of time; God’s brought churches and individuals together in partnership to help bring about this transformation.
Let’s give thanks for two new sisters, for the way in which (prayerfully) the cycle of poverty has been broken for their children, and for opportunities to continue to bless the poor of Memphis.
