From the Steps of Hope Newsletter – March was an exciting month, as Glen Mar United Methodist Church visited us to serve for the first time! Their desire to make a difference was evident, as they shared the Lord’s love through Bible school with our students, built bunk beds for some of our families, and put in cement floor in the home of a family that had before had a dirt floor. The week was full of love and connection between so many – the team, the staff, and our beautiful children and teenagers. We thank you Glen Mar for ALL that you did that week!
