ArtReach starting at last

It seems like things are finally moving forward. I tend to be a bit impatient Since the email newsletter went out(five days ago) $2,500 has come in and two guitars, along with food, cardtables and many other things I had on the list. Because of the generosity I should be drawing a pay check soon. ArtReach is off the ground and we are offering rides to the grocery store several times during the first 10 days of the month. We are offering the following ArtReach classes and students are already signing up.

Kokomo Urban Artreach strives to reach out into the community through the arts with the goal to cultivate creativity, self-esteem, and self-discipline. Our goal is to empower people to break the cycle of poverty, to address structural causes of poverty, and to enable all of us to attain our fullest potential as individuals and as members of the broader society. Along the way participants will be exposed quietly and gently to the Good News of Jesus. Thanks for the prayers and all the giving. Jeff
