shalom kazoo

shalom kazoo serves adults living with disabilities through housing, work, & community opportunities. SHALOM is in the people business. Amen. Hebrews 12:20-21

HOURS:
-SHALOM Woolery - Mon-Thurs 10-2
-Connection Depot - Fri-Sat from 9-3 (except on holiday weekends). DONATION Hours - Thursday at 9am through Saturday at 3pm.
-SHALOM Coffee - Fri-Sat from 9-3 (except on holiday weekends). Each activity we do has the purpose of accomplishing something in people. The task has meaning if we build up people, enriching their lives with what matters and growing as disciples of Jesus. Our desire is to reach people with the love and wholeness we ourselves are receiving through Jesus. We are on mission with Christ to disciple each person to join in the mission of Jesus together. People living with disabilities are no less the church and no less called to be on mission. The purpose of a person is not determined by ability, nor diminished by disability (1 Corinthians 12:18-27). A person's performance is not the issue; rather, it's God's work of grace at issue. Scripture teaches that our weakness serves to reveal God's strength (2 Corinthians 12:7-10). The people of SHALOM are front-line Kingdom Builders! Join with SHALOM in this movement of God's Kingdom! May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everything good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory forever and ever.

One of my running mantras is “In the Lord, I am GRATEFUL!”

I invite you to run with me in the Boston Marathon to raise funds for furnishings for the new SHALOM home! This home will be a safe place to thrive for adults living with disabilities – emotional, intellectual and developmental – giving the residents independence with support.

The challenges in training for a marathon while running the cancer marathon are really nothing compared to what some people endure. We are all broken people finding our wholeness in Jesus! Everyone has something to give to others. I want to share my little abilities, my resources, my opportunity to make a great place to live for others!

Gratitude is one of my running themes. It is the second word on my marathon shirt. It means I turn my appreciation toward the One Who gives me His grace for the race of life!

Gratitude begins by recognizing and appreciating the gifts, all the good things in life. These things turn my attention toward the Lord in appreciation for Him, the Giver. It’s a mindset (a heart set) that chooses to focus on what I have rather than what I don’t. Gratitude is so mentally healthy! All giving is rooted in gratitude.

As we acknowledge our blessings, and the One Who blesses, we reflect God’s glory. The SHALOM verses say it like this, “may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.” (Hebrews 13:20-21)

Are you giving God the glory by being GRATEFUL? I invite you to run with me to Boston – by bringing the Lord a GIFT: a place to sit, to sleep, to eat and just to live well. In the Lord, I am GRATEFUL!

Contribution checks designated to “furnishings” can be sent to SHALOM, PO Box 265, Kalamazoo, MI 49004. Or use the QR code for credit or debit cards. Or go to the link in the comments.
Express your gratitude! Thank you for your gift! Please share!
