A Prodigal Son Coming Home
The Episcopal Church Center received a donation and this thank you letter last month.
“Dear Ministry Office,
On May 19th I approached your office in search of my homeless son. Thanks to your assistance, caring and compassion, I found him later that morning. I was very scared, feeling alone and far from home. I asked God that morning for a miracle to find my son somewhere along the miles of beach and thousands of people there, along the beach. You ladies were directly responsible for our success and happy reunion. Our son is now reunited with his family and receiving the help he needs. I am so profoundly grateful. Please accept my humble donation to assist your efforts in performing God’s work for His more vulnerable children.
God bless you.
With love and gratitude,
A friend from Arkansas”
