Anglican Church Donates House To The Needy

"Blessed is the hand that gives than that takes," the Book of Matthew 5:16 reads, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good and glorify your father which is in heaven."

At first they used to donate various items like toiletry to both female and first offender prisoners but decided to leave such projects for the church youth and do bigger projects."We wanted to invest in bigger projects.  We were told about the Andires' family situation as well as that of another family that was also in need in Broadhurst. So we decided to weigh their situations and chose to build Makula a house as her situation was more critical," she recalled.
