Testimonies

• A church attender,  building a relationship with an employee at Circle K,  discovered a physical need at her new friend’s  home.  This friend is presently grieving the loss of her brother and has no one to help with outside clean-up.  Alerted to the need, The Burnes Small Group responded with a group of men and women who helped clean up the yard and dispose of the fallen trees.

• A student lost his home to a house fire.  Immediately two student small group leaders went and spent the evening with the family helping them with temporary shelter.  Students gathered for worship that night collected over $100 for the family;  multiple families have set aside furniture to give to the family once they have located a suitable home. 

• EBC College students go each Sunday after worship to the Caddo Parish Courthouse and feed a group of 30-40 homeless a meal;  they also help them with clothing as well as encouragement.

• A Church family has provided a temporary home for a man who has lost his job and has no place to live.  Their camper is parked at the church  so the man will have a place to live, cook and connect to his children while he is without a permanent job/home.
