Linus Would Love It!
by Alan & Robin Miller

The Open Door Children's Home in Rome, Georgia now has two locations. In the Fall of 2003, the staff was able to open a second home, one for boys. This was a great accomplishment as the boys in need had previously been housed at the Juvenile Detention Center.

Especially at Christmastime, Zechariah Ministries has made an effort to present the Homes with gifts of a more lasting nature than the traditional toys and candy. The children are well taken care of in this fashion. In the past, the Ministry has donated VCRs, DVD players, and last year two beautifully crafted Christ-in-the-Manger displays.

This season, the Open Door home expressed a need for blankets, so we offered to donate them. Robin Miller started a funding drive for the blankets that netted $400 from family and friends. On the afternoon of December 21st, we were privileged to deliver twenty blankets to the girls’ home and sixteen blankets to the boys’ home. These were the numbers that Open Door Home had suggested to fill their needs.

We took pictures of the blankets at our home prior to delivering them, since pictures are not allowed near the children, for security reasons. It was a wondrous season of giving. Thanks to our generous family and friends for their support of Zechariah Ministries and the great work that they do.
