Herb, besides New Commandments I lead some skilled handy men who help me do odd jobs for widows and single ladies. Some times this is to help them before they get in our program and some times it’s just a one time help need they have. I want them to understand that we have the program once a month and ask them to call us when they need help. A lot of these calls come into our church office and forwarded to me. My guys and I decide if we can accommodate or not. This is a service part of our original Men’s ministry quadrant we called “Service”. We were doing this before joining your ministry. God bless
Great work, Roger. Good to see you meeting other pressing needs as well.
