GAP Ministries

🙏 Weekly Prayer Focus 🙏

This week, please join us in praying for our 05 Market warehouse.

As temperatures continue to rise, pray that the warehouse remains cool, comfortable, and safe for everyone who walks through its doors. Lift up our staff and volunteers who faithfully serve each day, as well as the shoppers who rely on the market for essential items and support.

Pray for strength, endurance, and protection during the hot summer months, and that the 05 Market will continue to be a welcoming place where our community experiences care, dignity, and hope.

Thank you for standing with us in prayer and supporting the ministry that happens every day through the 05 Market.

Did you know that GAP Ministries licenses and supports foster families?

Behind every foster family is a team of Foster Family Specialists providing training, resources, encouragement, and ongoing support. During the summer months, that support becomes even more important as children are out of school and families work to keep them engaged, connected, and thriving.

We're so thankful for families like Patrick & Alida M., who have opened their hearts to foster teens. They shared:

"Teens are often overlooked by the system, and yet they hold such potential. They desire the same thing that every child and adult desires — love, stability, and to be seen for who they are. We want to provide a stable environment where they can be seen, valued, and empowered to reach their fullest potential."

Summer is one of the most challenging times of year for nonprofits. Donations often decrease, but the needs of the children and families we serve continue to grow.

By joining our Summer Heat Wave campaign, you're helping provide the support, resources, and care that foster families need all summer long. Plus, you can enter for a chance to win one of our amazing prizes, including a resort stay!

☀️🔥 The Summer Heat Wave has officially begun! 🔥☀️

Summer is one of the most challenging times of year for GAP Ministries. While donations traditionally dip during the summer months, the need for our services actually increases.

🍽️ We provide more meals for children and adults participating in summer programs.
🏡 Foster children are out of school and require additional care, activities, and support.
🛒 The 05 Market has expanded its hours and is now open 6 days a week to help more families access affordable food and household essentials.

That's why the Summer Heat Wave is so important.

This summer, YOU can make a huge difference in the lives of children, families, and individuals served through GAP Ministries... and you could win some amazing prizes along the way...like a resort stay! 🦀🎉

Even better? Every gift will be MATCHED by a generous donor up to $25,000, doubling your impact! ❤️

Visit our website (link in the comments) to learn how to participate, see all the prizes, and find out how YOU can help beat the heat this summer.
