Kristel Elwing Story
A family is torn apart when their father is caught abusing his children. The family is left with immense physical and emotional trauma but also without provision for basic daily living.
The church has stepped up to help in so many ways, but there are still gaps that will be a struggle for Krystal Elwing and her kids to overcome to reach some sort of sustainable life.
Please donate to help Krystal financially so she can focus on emotional and spiritual recovery for herself and her children.
Peddling For Jesus
In 2019, Jesse McKinney rededicated his life to Jesus while in jail, overcoming a 24-year addiction. Inspired to provide Bibles to inmates, Jesse and his wife launched Peddling For Jesus For People Like Us, Inc., a nonprofit dedicated to sharing hope through God’s Word.
Since then, they’ve distributed Bibles to jails, addiction centers, and recovery homes, offering support to those battling addiction and incarceration. Their goal is to establish a faith-based treatment facility and transitional housing.
Join their mission by donating or volunteering to bring the hope of the Gospel to those in need.
