EXCITING OPPORTUNITY...."KURT'S HOUSE"....READ ON!!!

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

I hope you are all doing very well in the Lord Jesus Christ! It is hard to imagine that four months have passed since our brother Kurt went home. Times passes too quickly, but, our memories remain and soon enough we will see our brother again in Glory!

Having said that, and while we wait to reunite with him, I want to share with each of you dear friends of an opportunity to honor Kurt, his legacy and his desire to serve God's least. I'd ask for you to prayerfully consider the following.

Kurt's Heartbeat

Hoskin's Park Ministries, the ministry Kurt's good friend Tom Wheeler runs, recently purchased another new home and has welcomed the opportunity to name it "Kurt's House". The heartbeat of Kurt and HPM are identical: to minister to the "least and the lost", which is consistent with Jesus' personal teaching, "I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." Matthew 25:40. This new house will be used to touch and transform the lives of many who truly are "the least and the lost" for years and years to come.

Kurt's House

As it goes, Kurt's House requires about $25-30K to renovate. The house was purchased for a nominal price but in order to bring it up to proper standards, the ministry needs to raise this amount of money; and time is of the essence. Since I am close to Tom and the ministry, I know the funds will be used appropriately to provide housing for either women and children, or men. Right now a single mom and her kids are waiting for a HPM house. HPM wants to have them in this house in the next two months. Since HPM has done this before (they now have 17 houses, housing & ministering approx. 60 men, women and children), I can assure you they know what they are doing.

Our Opportunity

Personally, my wife and I, after seeking the Lord, have committed $1,200 to make Kurt's House a reality. If you would like partner with us in this effort, please send your tax deductible contribution to Hoskins Park Ministries, 107 Cromer St, Charlotte, NC 28208. Please note on the check it is for "Kurt's House." Again, your contribution will go a long way in transforming the lives of folks that society has given up on, just as Kurt did day in and day out, while honoring Kurt and glorifying our Lord in a real and tangible way.

If you have any suggestions or thoughts, please let me know. And if you cannot give for any reason, please pray that the Lord will provide! May God continue to bless you to be a blessing!

Blessings,

FYI - We will send you before and after photos once the renovations are completed. You are also welcome to visit HPM and Kurt's House in person. To learn more about HPM please visit http://hoskinspark.org/.

Dear Team...Jerry & I had the privilege of going out to Hoskins Park for the first time a couple of weeks ago...we were SO amazed at how this ministry is not only transforming the lives of the men and women who are participating in the ministry of Hoskins Park..but the whole neighborhood is being transformed...really, it is!!! I'm also attaching a copy of "Kurt's Tribute" that Scott put together..the "Tribute" is a compilation of many of the e-mails and notes that came to Kurt prior to his "homegoing"..you'll be blessed, encouraged and inspired as you read once again the story of the life of Christ being lived out with abandon through Kurt. We'll keep you updated as to how the funds for the renovation of "Kurt's House" are coming along in the weeks ahead. Wouldn't it be GREAT if we could hold another "Worship/Celebration on the Grounds" of the new "Kurt House"..like we did last October?!!
