"Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart" Col 4:2 (NLT)
An encouraging heart releases thankfulness and gratitude to those in need. I am grateful that each of you continue to minister through prayer weekly. While we as intercessors, guides and those who listen daily stay thankful all year, this week brings us closer to a THANKSGIVING with family. Take a minute this week to make a call, send a text, mail a card or even visit those that we love and hold dear.
Be reminded that Thanksgiving is everyday, so let this be a week of Gratefulness.
In the Spirit of Servanthood
Rev. Dr. Bonita 🙏👣

Greetings, Brothers, and Sisters in Christ,
Some 10 million rural African Americans lack broadband internet, primarily in the South. They cannot use such essential services as online doctor visits, church services, school assignments, family connections, and voter registration. Thankfully, the Federal Communications Commission launched the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), providing nearly 18 million low-income households nationwide with resources to pay for necessary broadband service. The ACP offers eligible families a $30 monthly discount on high-speed internet services, making access free for many participants.
Here's what you can do:
1 - Forward to pastors in your network serving rural communities the "Get Connect" Information card below with a contact number and website for guidance through signing up for the ACP program.
To Apply Call 1 (877) 384-2575 or Visit www.GetInternet.gov/apply.
2. Encourage them to visit - https://www.skinnerleaders.org/getconnected to download the "Get Connected Toolkit."
