Blessing Bags: Giving Day!
Our Blessing Bag Handout in Killeen sure made for a beautiful day! So many people were loved on, prayed for, laughed with, and blessed in a variety of ways! They received Bibles if they wanted them and all who came left knowing they were seen! We had two individuals accept Christ and one was healed…all glory to God!!! We were even able to bless another ministry with some of the remaining blessing bags so even more of our friends without homes will continue to be touched by all those who gave! Anything remaining (additional blessing bags, clothes, etc.) were given to the Killeen homeless shelter and they were sincerely grateful!
To everyone that helped, prayed for us, or gave in any way…. Thank you for being a part of this very special day!!!
Blessing Bags: Assembly Days!
Saturday, March 1, was not only a lot of fun and filled with many laughs, new friends joining us, and a great time, but we were successful in packing a little over 200 blessing bags for our friends without homes!!! And because of the many hands, we did so in record time of just barely over an hour! But my favorite part of the day…having this group pray over each of the bags and for those that would receive them. Our God is so good and so awesome!!!
A huge heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone that provided items for the bags, gave your time to fill them or have prayed for us, and to Trinity Church for providing the space to make the assembly process as easy as possible! May God bless you all in big and special ways!
Over Spring Break the Crossroads Church Discipleship Group of 2nd-5th grade students came with a mission…. And it was achieved!!! They helped pack and provided for 250 bags of food for our homeless blessing bag giveaway! They were focused on serving and were a ton of fun! Their hearts are amazing, and we were blessed to have time with them & their leaders! Thank you, Pastor Cece and your group, for sharing y’all’s time with us and for donating all of the snack items that blessed our friends without homes!
Volunteer Appreciation Dinner
Our Volunteer Appreciation Dinner was a great time with amazing people!! Laughter, smiles, getting to know each other better, fun games and delicious food was had by all. Thank you to everyone that made it and thank you for all that you do to help carry out God’s plans for His ministry! And thank you to MasFajitas for hosting us in y’all’s banquet room!
2024 events
Jesus is the ONLY Gift We Need: Gift Give-Away!
It was a beautiful day to celebrate the birth of our risen King and Savior by blessing over 272 people with love and Christmas gifts! Our guests were able to shop for brand new gifts for their family members for free. The parents had a special room to pick something out for the kiddos while the kids were invited to shop a separate area for their parents and have it gift wrapped to help keep it a surprise!
Our guests were also able to receive a free family portrait provided by Ashley with Armadillo Photography, and many came dressed especially for this opportunity!
Even though the weather was unusually warm, we celebrated the season sipping hot cocoa while the kids had their faces painted by Joanna Havis with Paint My Heart Face-painting!
And as with all of our events, God really showed his love again as many of our guests received prayer and Bibles from our amazing prayer team!
A special thanks goes out to all who donated new items specifically for this event including MasFajitas, for hosting a special toy drive at their restaurant that provided most of the new toys! You are truly God’s hands & feet, helping us to remember and celebrate that Jesus is the ONLY gift we need!
Blessing Boutique Grand Re-Opening Celebration!
Saturday’s Grand Re-Opening of the Blessing Boutique was more spectacular than we even prayed for, and God was absolutely glorified all the way through!!!!! As great as it is to have a new place, the most important part and the real reason we do what we do is because lives were genuinely forever changed!!! Twelve people chose to take the next step in their walk with God through baptism, countless prayers were prayed with God showing up with a special touch, multiple Bibles given away, and more seeds planted and watered than we will ever know!!!! God definitely showed up and showed out with His love for each one willing to receive! A special thank you to Jamie Eads for helping us with the baptisms and Shane Massey and Under Authority -CCF Prayer Outreach Team for always being so gracious to love others through prayer! 452 people were blessed with physical needs being met, 172 adults and children received jackets and coats, and so many families were thrilled with the food they received either through Pizza Hut that provided pizza for so many during the day and so many special Angels who provided food for them to take home through the Blessing Boutique!! Joanna Havis with Paint My Heart Face-painting did an outstanding job teaching kids the Bible stories that correlated to the artwork they chose and hearing about their sweet discussions blessed our heart! Pablo Groves & his son, with Cuts For Christ, is always a blessing to co-labor with for Jesus and he really pours into those that were blessed with free haircuts! I loved listening to the conversations because Pablo has an exceptional way of talking about Jesus to them, regardless of their age, but meeting them right where they were at. Nita Hodge Groves, your family is precious and we thank y’all for sharing that time with us! I’m telling you it just goes on and on and on…. All we can say is LOOK AT THE AWESOMENESS OF OUR GOD!!!!!!
Mobile Prom Blessing Boutique: Killeen High School
Part 2: We were allowed to set up God’s ministry inside a high school in Killeen, TX. God connected us with some amazing Christ followers within the Bible Club so that HIS purpose of blessing and reaching students would be made known….and wow did He show up and show out!!! So many students, guys and gals, came and received physical blessings of dresses, suits, jackets, shirts, shoes, jewelry and even handbags too. Hearing the stories of how they didn’t think they were going to be able to go to prom but now they could, the smiles spoke volumes! But it was the opportunity to see so many students hungry for God’s Word as we shared Bibles and devotionals with them. We prayed with them and their families, planted seeds that God will water and harvest, and got to be Jesus with skin on as we loved on them and got to know them. So many of them hung around for quite some time, even after shopping, because they could feel His presence through the peace and love that they experienced.
Spring Work Day
How good is our God! Only He could make a workday a fun day!!!!
We had our Spring Workday, and we would like to thank the 45 people (UMHB students, a ladies Bible study group and other community members) that came to help! The ministry was blessed in every area possible, and we are still amazed at all that was accomplished!!! But what we loved the most was the smiles, laughs, new friendships, and seeing God’s goodness throughout the day.
Thank y’all again and we pray you continue to be blessed even more than the blessing each of you were to us!
And a special thank you to our special Angel that provided lunch!!!
Worth Far More Than Rubies - Prom Event
We had a beautiful day and a beautiful time! God brought the lovely ladies that needed to be blessed and bless them, He did! They received dresses, shoes, jewelry, handbags, and goody bags. We also loved getting to pray for them and their families and they were thankful and excited to receive a new Student Bible!
The volunteers also shared some great conversation, laughs and a time of enjoying getting to know each other.
A huge thank you goes to everyone who provided dresses, jackets and other prom items! We would love to also thank MasFajitas for chips and queso coupons, The Beltonian Theatre for movie passes, Miguel Garcia III for prom pictures, Churches Touching Lives for Christ for specialty chocolates and for all that contributed in other ways!
We have also loved getting to carry these blessings into this week at the Blessing Boutique as additional students have come and gotten their prom needs filled! Thank you again to everyone who played any part in this!
**Stay tuned for a continuation as apparently God saw this as Part 1…
Sleeping Bag Event - Killeen
Saturday was a very special time of passing out blessing bags and sleeping bags. There was something special about the love of Christ and His presence that you could feel in that place! God was with us and it was evident! While 170 people were blessed, we got to pray for the majority of them and they were eager for it. The best part is that 8 people got saved, many of them received a special touch from the Lord, and 1 man got healed!!! After receiving his healing, it was so fun to watch him walk off with a new pep in his step and the biggest smile that he couldn’t help! We celebrate with Heaven as we gained new brothers and sisters into the Kingdom! Y’all, our God is good!!!!!!

Happy Birthday, Jesus!!!
What a beautiful, fun, and awesome day celebrating our Savior’s birth and the gift that He continues to be for us every single day! The laughter and smiles from the games focused on His birth filled the air! Families coming together to play table games and watching the kids do crafts together that centered around celebrating our King warmed our hearts. Even hearing the many, many rounds of singing Happy Birthday, Jesus, as we enjoyed delicious cake made us smile, but it was truly knowing that over 300 people sat and intently listened to the story of Christ’s birth and the gift He continues to be that makes it all worth it!!!
Grateful Gathering
Saturday night’s Grateful Gathering was nothing short of beautiful and wonderful in every way! From the army of volunteers that showed up for all the things, to MasFajitas for not only providing a phenomenal meal but also bringing some of their crew to help serve, to the testimonies and goodness of God that was shared, to Trinity Church for providing us a venue and the incredible help and support through it all, and especially seeing the smiles and joy on each of our guest’s faces. This truly was an incredible evening! But the best part of it all and what put the icing on the cake…we had a gentleman give his life to Christ!!! And THAT….is what it’s all about!!!!!
Packing Event at UMHB
We would like to say a huge THANK YOU to the UMHB team and the other volunteers that came to help pack 200 Blessing Bags! We are honored to be the ministry chosen for one of their management class projects. From picking up the items, setting up, organizing, tearing down, and unloading, they were ON IT and their efforts are greatly appreciated!
The homeless of Bell County will be grateful as we pass them out, along with sleeping bags, other special goodies and clothes from the Blessing Boutique as it starts to get cooler! Thank you to everyone that gave items and finances to make this possible. We pray that God blesses y’all in special ways!
Ladies, thank you again for blessing us so we can bless others!
Thank you for being HIS hands and feet!
