Summer has almost come and gone. We are excited to share with you what the Lord is doing in our family as well as the ministry. Here we go!
As we’ve jumped into serving here in Florence, Jeremy has been excited to serve with Chris Handley and help move the needle toward flourishing in Florence and “Connecting Christ Followers for Kingdom Impact.” This is our new mission statement and fits well into who we are and what we do. HFF helps to build Kingdom Networks across multiple spheres. Here are some of the spaces in which we are working to have greater impact as we connect Christ followers: prayer, the workplace, pastors, families, home repair. Through these networks and others we host gatherings for pastors, pray weekly, offer resources and book clubs, host events, etc. This is all for the purpose of bringing the body of Christ together.
Last month we hosted Winshape Camp for kids, and this month we are hosting the Global Leadership Summit. Here are some pics from the networks to give you more of a visual.

Calling All Pet Owners in Florence!
The Emerts (really the Emert kids) have started a new business. We are excited about this and would love to help you if you are out of town. Reach out to us if you need care for your pets (or children). We would love to help.
Missionary Spotlight
This will be something we do regularly, to highlight people that we love and support, and are doing wonderful things for the Kingdom. This month is the Chikonde Family. They are Zambians who are serving as missionaries to a church near and dear to us in New York. If you have spent any amount of time with us you have heard about Justin, Mwiza + their kids. Their family relies on donations just like us. If you would like to find out more click the button below.
