CELEBRATING 70 YEARS!

On September 22, 1944 Assemblies of God National Children's Home opened.  On Saturday, September 27, 2014 Assemblies of God COMPACT® will celebrate 70 years of ministry impact and growth of redeeming children, youth and families. SAVE THE DATE!

A little over a decade after the home opened, the name changed to Hillcrest Children's Home.  Over the years the ministry has grown to include adoption services, Highlands Maternity Home, Murry Transitional Living Center, and foster care.  It is now all part of Assemblies of God COMPACT®.  Thousands of children and families have been touched and transformed by this ministry over the first 70 years.  God has called us to more ahead!

The 70th Celebration is an all-day event with special activities, fun and food.   Friends, partners, children, youth, sponsors, and families - You are invited! 

In May, we celebrated the graduation of four of our Hillcrest residents.  They are each emarking on their future and we are excited for them.  

Two of the graduates were able to return to their families/host families and two of our graduates have moved into our TLC program and are settling into their first apartments.  We are working on helping them become established with jobs, vehicles, education, and beginning the process of becoming a successful adult.  

We could use your help to do this.  

Some of the biggest needs in our TLC program are basic supplies for their apartments such as vacuums, comforters, pot and pan sets, and other small appliances.  The average cost of each of these items is about $40.  If you would like to assist one of our residents on getting started, here is how to help.

Send a check or gift card marked "Graduation Gifts" to us and we will utilize it to purchase these items for these residents.  What an exciting opportunity to see a child choose a path for a bright future.
