MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR |
I thank God for all His goodness and kindness to us. In particular, I’m grateful to God for His wonderful provision for life and for the work He has prepared for us to do. For example, over the last seven weeks God has provided in a miraculous way to meet all expenses associated with running Alpha USA. I hope and pray you enjoy all the articles in this month's newsletter.
Once again, it's a privilege and pleasure to be serving with you. Let us know how we can assist you. Please call us at 1-800-DO-ALPHA or go to alphausa.org. |
