 Freedom for Youth Ministries offers the love of Jesus Christ to distressed and impoverished youth which empowers them to break bondages in their lives, discover their God-given purpose and lead a life filled with faith, hope and love.

One way they help accomplish is offering basic necessities to impoverished families and refugees in the Des Moines area through the Freedom Store. They hope that by providing these basic needs, they can show them the love of Jesus Christ that they may put their trust in Him.

The Freedom store relies on many in-kind donations to operate the facilities and provide basic clothing items and food to the people they serve. The food stores for the Freedom Store are dangerously low and the Freedom Store is having to drastically limit what they can offer to people in need.

You may have noticed the stacks of cans in the atrium. Valley Church is partnered with Freedom for Youth and one way we are locking arms with them is by providing for their efforts to feed the poor. If you are moved to help send the 15000 cans of food to an area in Des Moines where people are in need, please give whatever you are able.

Her Steps Winter Bible Study  

Weekly Mission Opportunities!  

The James: Mercy Triumphs Bible Study has weekly opportunities of service for women who are taking the study-this is a part of our regular homework.  Our first "Mission Opportunity" is to donate food to those in need.  This is a timely challenge for the Women of Valley Church as we are currently having a church-wide Winter Food Drive.  We encourage all women to take part and do what they can as the Lord directs. 

WEEK ONE: MISSION OPPORTUNITY

Winter Food Drive

For

Freedom for Youth Ministries

A Love Offering will be taken during "Week Two" to help offset the cost of the 15,000 cans of food recently purchased by Valley Church.
