If you haven't received our newsletter updates, I wanted to clue you in on what has been going on at Akina recently.
Like the rest of the world, beginning in mid-March, we had to close Akina Kid's Club due to the Covid-19 outbreak. While this has made us pretty sad, it blessedly hasn't stopped God's ministry! We've been able, in some ways, to bring Akina and God's Word to the community.
We've been able to bring meals and care packages to families, every other Thursday since the outbreak began. Volunteers and donors have created hand-made cards, purchased treats, baked cookies, made homemade soup, and so much more. This included a large Easter bag giveaway the weekend of Easter. Churches, schools, and individuals have stepped up to provide resources in the mighty name of Jesus! We've been able to keep contact with families, pray for kids, and share devotions with them.
We've seen an uptick in activity on the Akina page, as we've live streamed church services and updated it with scriptures, songs, and devotions. God is still working, even with the country shut down.
Regrettably, we have had to cancel the majority of our summer events, including our Nehemiah Fundraising Dinner. However, we hope to bring that to you virtually, as soon as possible. We'll keep you updated on that front. Thank you all for your prayers and support. I'm adding a few pictures to help you see what we've been doing! Blessings!
