Phil's Friends


I wanted to do something different with todays post.  I thought that it would be a good idea to highlight an organization that is furthering God’s kingdom. 

Today, a great organization came to talk to our students about their ministry.  The ministry is Phil’s Friends.  They minister to men, women and children who are suffering with cancer.  They provide care packages, cards, letters, phone calls and so much more to those who need encouragement. 

Here’s more information about them:

“Give a moment and you’ll change a life.

Our goal is simple. We strive to provide support and comfort to those who are fighting cancer. One of the main ways we’re able to bring this sense of ease into one’s life is by delivering God’s Word. There is much to be found when searching for ourselves through God.

Phil's Friends also distributes care packages to cancer patients and their families. We hold fund raising events such as the Annual Celebration of Hope Dinner & Golf Outing. We are establishing packing facilities, mobile pack and a widespread volunteer base to help cancer patients and their families across the country.

The purpose of our charity is, “to bring hope”. People are diagnosed with cancer every day.  People with cancer often experience support needs. Many have no place to turn. We all need comfort, peace, and joy. Phil’s Friends is a faith-based charity that seeks to provide “the hope” we all need.”

This is a great organization that helps so many people.  Cancer is something that strikes close to home for many f us.  I know that many of my family members have had cancer and it’s organizations like Phil’s Friends that helped them get through those tough times.

Take a moment to check out their website and see if it’s an organization that you would like to help.  Any help that you can give them can go a long way!
