Happy New Year 2016
The joys of sharing We’re all looking forward to another year of serving in His Name with your help! Day by day men and women find us, some just walking by in the neighborhood and seeing our sign, others by referral, and increasingly more and more through our website and social media. People are rethinking the choices they’ve been making and are looking for hope, encouragement, meaning, support, and even truth and guidance in their lives. We value your ongoing prayers and support as we enter 2016 with the expectation of meeting more hungry hearts in the days and months ahead....

Read MoreEO Volunteer Men Bless HBI
Saturday morning at 8 am a crew of 7 gifted and talented men gathered at His Branches for prayer, followed by a very structured work day – they were there to install 30 new custom insulated windows in our 3 upstairs offices suites to replace the original, leaky, rattling, wooden windows we’ve been living with for years. Old and drafty in the winter, hot in the summer, but at least they kept the birds out… Our experienced crew chief had estimated that the job could be done in one full Saturday, but others were doubtful and thought it would take at least two full days. Well,...
