$50,000 Grant Awarded to TH Ministries

During a press conference today, Lorna Kuyk, from the Presbytery of Ohio Valley, handed the grant award check to Pastor Lant Davis.  The grant amount of $50,000 was awarded to Pastor Lant Davis on behalf of Terre Haute Ministries INC.  Pastor Vince McFarland and Rev. Honnalora Hubbard were also at the press conference representing our organization.

We appreciate the efforts of Lisa Long from the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce and Troy Fears with the United Way.  They assisted us in putting together todays event.  One more opportunity to see the cooperation between the many organizations and the faith based community here in Terre Haute. 

The grant amount is a part of much larger picture.  Terre Haute Ministries INC. has designated the funds to assist the Wabash Valley Long Term Disaster Recovery Coalition bring help and healing to families affected by the June 7th flooding in 5 counties.  The grant amount will be covering, among other things, the newly appointed director's salary,  Our director will in turn be loaned back to the WVLTDRC as the construction, volunteer, and donations coordinator.

We believe this is just the beginning of what the unified Body of Christ can do in bringing not only healing, but restoration into our communities.  It is our responsibility and reasonable service to lead the way in helping the hurting among us, in the name of Christ.
