December 2017

A severe season for single mom’s in our community HON OR I N G C H R I S T BY S E RV I N G T H E N E E D S OF C H I L DR E N A N D FA M I L I E S

Due to Hurricane Irma, many single moms in our community lost weeks of wages after the storm.

Some are losing their apartments. As you plan year end giving, please consider us so we can help them.

Moms in our program come to Sheridan House daily for food donations made possible by a local grocery store.

Our first single mom triplex is almost completed!

Next year marks the fiftieth anniversary of Sheridan House!

This is all due to God using the vision of a man named Bill Billingsley. For me personally, to have the privilege of serving God here for forty-four years, has been awesome. It has been a blessing to see Him work in the lives of thousands of children and families. After we made the decision to stop receiving government funding, God has provide for this ministry in miraculous ways. Amazing!

A great Christmas Gift!

When we get to 10,000 cars, the proceeds from the Family Values tag will completely fund one of our children’s homes! There is a one-time fee of $103 that the state of Florida charges but after that, the annual use fee is only $25.00 per year. Get your tag at Sheridan House.

Replace your license plate at Sheridan House in as little as 10 Minutes! No waiting in line at a government tag agency! Bring your valid driver’s and vehicle registration and a check for $103 made out to: FCI Insurance Agency. Or...SHFM.org/tag and follow the instructions.

But the miracles aren’t slowing down. As we head into the next year we will be completing our first single mom triplex.

On the day we hold the ribbon-cutting ceremony on this first triplex, will also be the day we do ground-breaking on the next single mom triplex. Incredible!

Many of you have been used by God throughout the years to help us help others. Thank you! There are thousands of men and women today whose lives have been changed by God and you are a part of that. As we look back in awe and get excited about what God is doing in our future the verse that comes to mind is Ephesians 3:20-21.

Now to Him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we would ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to Him be the glory….

Legacy Giving or Planned Giving is about

making a lasting impact for God’s Kingdom.

It doesn’t have to be something you give after you are gone…you can witness it and show your children and your grandchildren, “This is what our family does.” Putting your name on a building project or on the future of a ministry is not about lifting you up. It’s about training the next generation.

Set up a recurring, monthly donation with your personal online banking system. Monthly Giving is a tremendous blessing because it helps us budget our money throughout the year. When you support Sheridan House as a monthly donor you are changing the next generation – for Christ’s sake.
