Toledo, OH (March 28, 2018) – RISE (Recovering Individuals from Sexual Exploitation) is a Salvation Army program here in Toledo that works to improve the physical, emotional and spiritual life of those who have experienced human trafficking. This is accomplished through comprehensive case management, and a variety of weekly events including a support group, women’s AA meeting, Zumba and drop in hours. RISE was started in 2015 to help address gaps in services for trafficking victims.

BLESSINGS OTHERS

Welcome to another beautiful day in paradise. Look with the eyes of your soul and see the beauty in others and you will see you are in paradise.

“Today, let’s bless everyone especially those who live on the margins. Let’s bless our homes, families, neighbors, workmates, and friends. But, let’s also bless the homeless, those who struggle and strive, low-income service workers, the incarcerated and animal and plant life. When we bless, we bestow healing and favor from on high”.

–Steve Farrell, Humanity’s Team

Wednesday Lenten Supper and Services – Remember the movie “Guess Who Is Coming to Dinner?” It is a classic! Jesus is coming to dinner each and every Wednesday at 6pm and invites YOU to dine with Him in spirit and some of His special friends. Afterwards He invites YOU to hear a special message on how to be A Good Samaritan. On March 7^th Jesus will dine with Gale and Pattie Vaughn and company and teach you how to be AGS by Honoring the Poor. On March 14^th Jesus will dine with Gail and Pastor and company and share with you how to be AGS by Tending to God’s Creation. One March 21th Jesus will dine with Connie and Mel Sieler and will discuss with you how to be an AGS by Loving the Forsaken. His purpose in guiding YOU to be A Good Samaritan is simply to help You to live out Christ’s love in world-changing ways, right now, right where YOU live. Continue reading »

Want to make the world better but don’t know how?

Take a lesson from these amazing kids.

Anyone has the power to save the world.

“Dear fellow human beings, are we doing the best we can do, or can we do a little bit more to create a better world?”

This is a question we should all be asking ourselves every so often. It’s also part of a pledge written by 10 incredibly socially conscious individuals who all happen to be under the age of 18.

And they’re not just any ordinary group of kids. They were named the 2016 Hasbro Community Action Heroes, because of the exemplary volunteer work they’ve done for their local and/or global community.
