The Necessity of Prayer

---

Dear friend,
Good Neighbors Home Repair is a Christian ministry that provides critical home repairs at no cost to the homeowner.  We do not discriminate on the basis of religious beliefs.  We follow the example of Jesus who told us to give "a cup of cold water" (Matthew 10) to quench thirst.  He didn't discriminate either.

Tom Hilferty, our Senior Project Manager, leads us in providing cups of cold water to our low-income neighbors.  He does this by fixing leaking roofs and broken doors and dangerous steps.  Tom also asks if he can pray with and for the homeowner.  And, guess what, no one has ever said "no thanks".

Prayer is the discipline of looking to God and asking for His perfect Will to be done.  We recognize that we need help, guidance and strength which can only come from Heaven.  

Seems simple enough.  "I can't save myself, so I look to the One who does."  Good Neighbors operates in this truth and through the partnership of folks like you who also want to be in the "cup of cold water" brigade.

Thank you for helping us love our neighbors.

Harold Naylor
Executive Director
