Delivery Day for Della
God recently opened the door for Find Your Rest Ministries to connect with a woman named Della. Della is originally from Little Rock, Arkansas, but now lives in the city of St. Louis with her six children who range from five to 16 years old. Della is in great need and has her hands very full. We loved meeting Della and her family, and we are blessed to have had the opportunity to deliver them bunk beds! Additionally, we are grateful to Ron and Patty from Rock Church St. Louis for partnering with Find Your Rest Ministries. Ron and Patty have connected with this family and invited them to their…

Bunk Beds for Suzanne
Find Your Rest Ministries recently delivered bunk beds to a woman named Suzanne in Catawissa, MO. Suzanne is the care provider of her grandchildren while their mother is currently unavailable. Though Suzanne was not prepared for this transition, she graciously stepped in to provide for her grandchildren. It was such a blessing to deliver beds to this family and give them the gift of the Gospel! We want to give a special thanks to Jeff Owens from Fellowship Church who partnered with us to make this delivery day happen.

Bunk Bed Delivery for the Clipper Family
Over the summer, Find Your Rest Ministries had the opportunity to deliver bunk beds to another family in need. Nicole Clipper is one tough lady. Even though life has brought a lot of difficult circumstances her way, God continues to give her strength and perseverance. As a mom of six, Nicole works hard cleaning houses to support and take care of her family. It was such a blessing to provide bunk beds to her and her children. We also want to say thank you to Becky and Tony Virgin from Community Bible Church of Pevely for partnering with Find Your Rest Ministries for this delivery day.

Build Day with the Seckman High School Boys Varsity Basketball Team
We were so excited to host a build day with the Seckman High School Boys Varsity Basketball Team on June 3rd. Head coach, Coach Carroll, encourages his players on and off the court. He shared with us that he wants the boys to know there is much more to life than just basketball, and a big priority for him is encouraging them to give back to the community. Thank you to this amazing team and their coach for helping us prep and build bunk beds for families in need. We appreciate all your hard work!

Build Day with CBC of Pevely
On June 1st, we hosted a build day with Community Bible Church of Pevely. We were able to build eight bunk beds thanks to the hard work of the volunteers. This is a record amount of beds for us in a single day! Dozens of church members worked in stations to cut and stain the wood, assemble the bunk beds, and annotate the Bibles we deliver to the families. This was an awesome day filled with service and fellowship. Thank you to everyone who came out to help!

Delivery for a Barnhart Family in Need
When we learned that a child in Barnhart did not have a bed, we were blessed to be able to step in and help. We delivered a bunk bed and some couches to the family and were able to address some dysfunctional heating and plumbing issues. It’s important to have a place to rest and to keep warm during these winter months! Physical rest is so important, but spiritual rest is essential! Jesus says in Matthew 11:28, “Come to me all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” True rest and peace is found only in Jesus! We thank our Lord for allowing us to join…

Tate’s Story
Recently, Find Your Rest Ministries had the pleasure of meeting a boy named Tate. While getting to know him last summer, we realized that he was wearing broken eye glasses. Tate’s family has been in a rough spot for a while and could not afford to buy him new ones. He was in desperate need of a new pair because he has very poor eyesight. After wearing broken glasses for about six months, we were able to address his need by taking him to the eye doctor and buying him new glasses! We have followed up with Tate and his family multiple times, taking them Bibles, devotionals, groceries, and whatever…
