NEED: Oxford House in Delaware

I had a chance earlier this year to minister at a drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Delaware that blew my mind. There is a great work happening there in the lives of many men and they keep expanding. The Oxford house is in need of some materials to bring life to even more men. Here is an email I got from a friend of mine who details the needs. Please consider more than prayer if possible. If you live or work anywhere near Delaware, tell your church and pass the word. They are working hard to restore lives: (email below)

The Oxford House in Smyrna,DE., under the advisement and supervision of Bro. Jim Martin is in need. It is a newly established drug/ alcohol/homeless/ transition/ emergency shelter home. I agree that this Oxford Home is a great addition for our community. The house is in need. It officially opened this past Friday (Dec.11 2009). Some of you who live in the Smyrna area may have read an article in the Sun Times concerning this house. Their is only 1 brother in the home now but the house can supply "life" for approx. 7 men. Jim is not only in need of Prayer but he also is in need of bedding (first).....mattresses, boxsprings and frames. Nothing fancy or new...used is perfectly fine. Please pass the word to your church families and your friends and associates. He (Jim) needs all the help he can get. I have accepted the offer to help him as a community advocate / liaison on a volunteer basis. So, we both need you. Please pray for us and pray that GOD will work through us to provide "realistic" living conditions for those in need. If you have any questions, please call Jim at 302-377-0485 or me 302-399-7958. If we are busy and do not answer, please leave a detailed message.

GOD Bless You All,
Keandre'

“The love of God is one of the great realities of the universe, a pillar upon which the hope of the world rests. But it is a personal, intimate thing too. God does not love populations, He loves people. He loves not masses, but men.”
