2020 In Review:
The COVID pandemic created an opportunity for 6:33 Global to meet practical needs with no strings attached. The immediate need for the community without the ability to work with lock down and quarantine was simply food. Our current partners, new partners and Church of The Highlands in Birmingham, Alabama sent support during the pandemic which allowed us to serve over 50 families every 2 weeks from May 2020 up until January 2021. Special thanks to Pastors Chris Hodges and Dino Rizzo for sowing into the Food Pantry during the pandemic.
We will continue the Food Pantry in 2021, but on a smaller scale. All the families we served during the pandemic were very grateful for the food you were able to provide them and they understood the assistance would subside once the community was able to return to work. So, THANK YOU for allowing us to mirror God's love by feeding families in their need. For 2021, we will focus on biblical help for widows and members of our Healing Place Church Honduras family.
Along with COVID-19 Pandemic was 2 hurricanes and one winter storm that hit our community.
The multiple storms gave us the opportunity to serve one of the widows that faithfully attend Healing Place Church Honduras. The storms damaged her roof and allowed rain water to gather on her concrete inside her house. She slipped and fell and was put on bed rest for a time. She asked for help with the roof and we were able and honored to help her. She expressed her gratitude for each of you that supports our ministry and allows us to be a blessing to her, her family and her community.
A special thanks to Dan & Vicki Ohlerking and Children's Cup, who gave toward this outreach after asking what were our needs for the hurricanes. We LOVE doing life and serving with GENEROUS, KINGDOM MINDED people and ministries!
GREAT START TO 2021:
Despite the COVID Pandemic and Hurricanes, we hit the ground running in 2021. Your faithful giving and generosity throughout all of 2020 allowed us to complete our annual BOOK SACK & SCHOOL SUPPLIES GIVEAWAY! This year with the 2 Kindergarten classes, 2 Grade schools near our ministry and the Youth Ministry at Healing Place Church Honduras, we bought, prepared and gave away over 270 Book Sacks with School Supplies!
January 2021 Trip To Louisiana:
We had a great trip to the states mid January to early February. Due to high risk relatives concerning COVID-19, we limited our interactions and social visits. However, we did spend quality time with family and friends. We were well rested and recharged! It was great to reconnect with most of our supporters and our Healing Place Church Family in Baton Rouge.
We have cultivated existing relationships, rekindled dormant relationships and established new relationships and we believe The Lord is using all of those relationships to open doors for the future of our ministry and family. We are praying about the seeds that have been planted in our hearts and would love to share some of the dreams we've been thinking about for our future, but we feel its just not the time.
Future of 6:33 Global:
If you are a part of FaceBook, we do have a private FaceBook Group where we share things not intended for public consumption, but only for friends and partners of our family and ministry who want to know how to pray for and support these things. If interested, please email us so we can send you an invite to that Private FaceBook Group.
Closing:
We are so grateful for our spiritual covering in Ps. Mike & Rachel Haman, Ps. Dino & DeLynn Rizzo, Earl Rentz, Wayne & Dee Austin, Mike & Lynn McCain, Jeffery Rentz and Ps. Derek & Cesia Smith. We feel so loved, encouraged and empowered by these Spiritual Parents and great friends. It makes ministry better to be planted in the local church and serving the mission and vision of the church where God has planted you.
We are also very grateful for our financial partners! God's faithfulness is confirmed to us through your generosity. We are excited about the future and our conviction is to be GOOD STEWARDS of your resources.
Therefore, we ask for prayer covering. Specifically for energy, wisdom, discernment, guidance & favor as we move forward. We believe we have the people we need around us and we pray that all we receive from these people is an outpour and overflow of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
We love you all. We do this all for His KINGDOM + CHURCH + PEOPLE,
The Lamberts
