HELP NEEDED: TURN AWAY NO LONGER MINISTRIES
Turn Away No Longer (TANL) is a nonprofit organization in Madison County helping children in need. TANL provides Swag Packs to children entering foster care through their Care4Kidz program.
Swag Packs are new bags/backpacks stuffed with new items the children need and can use, along with an encouraging note to tell a child, "you do matter, we care about you, God loves you and He has a plan for your life". TANL works with Benchmark Family Services, Kids Peace Indiana Foster Care, and the Dept. of Child Services at the state and local levels.
Swag Packs give children a bit of comfort in having something of their very own they can take with them to their next destination. Grace Baptist Church is a Drop Zone for donations and wants to fully support these efforts to make a difference in children's lives. Find information at the button below on what items to donate for this effort:
GOD'S TURN
We are very excited about bringing back "God’s Turn" to WHMB-TV 40 in Central Indiana. We began broadcasting Sunday, September 27. Imagine the preaching from our Sunday morning services going forth with the gospel of Jesus Christ to over 1.2 million households in Central Indiana! We need your prayers for this effort - for the processes to be finalized and for the souls of those who will watch the broadcast to come to know and trust Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. Another need for this ministry is for the financing of this ministry. Our goal is to do this without impacting the budget of the church and school. You can donate online at the link below(be sure to select God's Turn in the fund drop-down) or via the drop-boxes in the church, by earmarking your contribution for "God's Turn". Each program airing costs $500, and you would be welcome to give to sponsor a single airing. Contact the church office with any questions or to arrange to sponsor, dedicate and/or advertise on the program.
