Thank you for being a member of the Prayer Partner Alliance. It is through prayer that our first Christian Care Home was built in Fort Myers. It will be through prayer that God will reveal to us His plans for the future of Protected Harbor and our very special residents. We thank you for keeping this ministry in your prayers! 

Please prayerfully consider making a contribution today.


 
Dennis's Dream House
 
Construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of next month. While this means a lot to many of us, it means so much more to Dennis and his family. 

Dennis has visited the construction site multiple times and has even decided on where he wants his room to be. The excitement of seeing his future home grew strong enough that Dennis offered to come sweep the floors each Saturday until the home is finished. 

Dennis and his family had the opportunity to meet the new house parents, Dennis and Jenny, to get to know each other and discuss concerns before move-in. Stay tuned for more information on all of our wonderful house parents.

We are still looking for five housemates to live in this beautiful new home. If you or someone you know would be interested in living in the home, please let us know! Call (239) 248-7449 or email  info@godsprotectedharbor.org

"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."  Philippians 4:6-7

Approximately
$150,000 is still needed
