Congratulations to Claire from Woonsocket, who won the Taylor Swift Concert raffle!

Catch the Vision!

We at Hosanna are excited about where the Lord is leading us to bring his light.

"Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand. Now that I've put you there on a hilltop, on a light stand—shine! Keep open house; be generous with your lives. By opening up to others, you'll prompt people to open up with God, this generous Father in heaven" (Matt 5:14-16, The Message).

Here is what we are working on for the near future:

• Sweet Talk wi-fi café: This bakery/café, which will be located on the East Side of Providence, has a threefold purpose:
  1. Provide a sheltered work environment for women with emotional/physical barriers
  2. Outreach to college students and young professionals
  3. Generate income to support ministries of Hosanna Lighthouse Ministries (outpatient counseling and residential program)
• Hosanna House: Hosanna House will be a residential program for women struggling with poverty, recently widowed, divorced, abused, handicapped emotionally or physically, struggling with addiction, or homeless.
• How can you help?
• We need prayer, volunteers, fundraising, donations, and a house/building

As always, Hosanna appreciates donations. Your donation is tax-deductible and is used for the direct needs of the ministry. If you would like to become a monthly donor, please email jshepard@hosannalighthouseministries.com; or mail your donation to:

632 River St.

Thank you and may the Lord richly bless you.

We'd like to remember our friend Kenny Tellier who went on to Heaven May 9th, 2010. Kenny, we miss you and we’ll see you again.
