Yesterday we celebrated 3 months of ministry to the homeless. Our capacity is 34 and we have been full to capacity for quite a while.
One of the surprises over the past 3 months is the number of families who have come to the Lodge. We built two family rooms in the Lodge but we currently have 6 families with a total of 15 children with ages ranging from 4 weeks to 14 years. Yes, one of women delivered a baby while a resident. She didn't deliver it at the Lodge but rather at Huguley Hospital.
