From Chaplain Valerie 

I’m thrilled to share a heartwarming update about my friend Annette, a long-time friend of Lord’s Gym Ministries. Over the years, we’ve formed a strong bond, and I’ve had the privilege of supporting her through various challenges.

Annette’s perseverance and resilience are truly inspiring. Her hard work recently paid off when she landed a Salvation Army bell ringer job! This role is a source of income and a stepping stone, as Annette hopes to secure a more permanent position within the Salvation Army after the bell-ringing season.

I’m beyond proud of Annette and grateful to have played a small part in her journey. Her determination is a testament to the human spirit, and I have no doubt she’ll continue to thrive.

As Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

And Jeremiah 29:11 reminds us, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.”

Annette’s story is a beautiful reminder that with perseverance, and support, we can overcome obstacles and achieve our goals.
