Our new shared class/resource center/office space at Hope Apostolic (5645 Spring Lake, Memphis, TN 38135) is coming together! We thank God for people like you who continue to encourage us and push us forward for the sake of loving the nations as we believe Jesus does! We have a lot of work to do to pull it all together by August 15th our first class day, but we can see the sweet way God has invited so many individual groups and churches to be a part of this project.  We will need lots of volunteer teachers ready for Tuesday and Thursday classes  and then for our Monday, Wednesday, Friday resource center.  We will have a computer lab and can soon also have Saturday basic computer classes…we will need some volunteers to help.  

We are collecting backpacks and school supplies in the midst of getting our shared space prepared. Please help us collect regular school supplies and two strapped backpacks!  Take them to High Point Church Collierville or Hope Apostolic Church Memphis or contact us at erica@ashasrefuge.org or jamie@ashasrefuge.org or deborah@ashasrefuge.org!

Also, here is a post we put on Facebook that lists some tangible items we need along with some painting help:
