Clothe-A-Kid at Love INC Sturgis

 
 

Jesus said, “Leave the little children alone, and don’t try to keep them from coming to me, because the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” -- Matthew 19:14 (CSB)

It was a joy to have six families and 14 kids go through the Clothe-A-Kid program this year. We had many churches help these families complete their Work-2-Earn hours and a great team of volunteers for shopping day.

 

Mentorship and Coaching Opportunities Available

Counsel in a person’s heart is deep water;
but a person of understanding draws it out. -- Proverbs 20:5 (CSB)

Love INC Tidbit

We believe people are not purely victims of the surroundings but agents who, with God’s help, can make lasting change towards greater self-sufficiency. This happens when they are invited to take ownership of their situation and responsibility for the solutions to their problems. Rather than doing things “to” or projects “for” our participants, we work “with” them towards healthy, God-honoring goals while avoiding paternalism. We value the virtue of initiative and cultivate it by giving choices to our participants regarding how they can use their gifts, talents, and abilities to fulfill their dreams and serve others. Our goal is to see our participants (1) move out of chronic need towards greater self-sufficiency, (2) continue their transformation as disciples of Christ in a local church, and (3) become a net-producer through service to their neighbor. Transformation is a work of the Spirit and a lengthy process that requires patience and grace.
