Join us in Prayer & Praises
|
We know there are many meaningful ways to partner with us, and one of the most impactful is through prayer. That’s why we’re beginning a new initiative—inviting those who visit our office or warehouse to share their prayer requests with us.
If you’d like to come alongside us in lifting up these needs, we’d love to have you join our prayer email list. Simply click the button below to sign up and receive updates so you can pray with us regularly.

This Month’s Prayers & Praises
Praises
All our families have Crock Pots!- During the last couple of months we have asked you to help us provide slow-cooker crock pots for our families in the Power Packs program, and you did it! We have more than enough crock pots for not only our Power Packs families, but also some families we know are living in motels and don't have access to a kitchen in order to cook actual meals. We are so thankful for each and every crock pot recieved, but even more thankful for the people who helped fulfill this need!
The Glory House has a new resident! Early in October, we welcomed a mother and her son into the Glory House. We are grateful for this opportunity to walk alongside them and pray that their time here is fruitful as they grow, thrive, and discover all that the Lord has planned for their lives.
Faithful Give provided an opportunity to serve together! Through Faithful Give, God provided $13,735 to support the work of REAL Life. We are grateful for everyone who gave, shared, encouraged, and helped make this campaign possible. While we continue to trust Him for the resources needed to meet the many needs in our community, we are thankful for His provision and for the people He brings alongside us in this ministry.
God provided a bicycle to meet a practical need! After sharing a plea for help finding a bicycle for a gentleman in our community, God provided through The Common Wheel in Lancaster, PA. He now has a bike, helmet, and the necessary safety items to ride securely. We are grateful for community partners who come alongside us to help meet needs and provide opportunities for greater independence!
Prayer Requests
For wisdom and provision: Please pray for wisdom as we navigate so many needs with limited resources. Housing requests continue to grow, but affordable options are scarce. Our food distribution program is also growing, and we need more volunteers who can invest their time in the program. We are also in great need of volunteers to drive our neighbors to appointments and help them shop at our warehouse.
For our Thanks4Giving campaign: As we enter our year-end fundraising campaign, we need to raise $350,000 or more to continue serving our community over the next 12 months. Please pray that hearts would be open to giving and that the Lord would bless this ministry and provide for the needs ahead. Without His blessing, all our efforts are in vain!
For Cocalico Cooks 4 REAL: As we put the finishing touches on this year's event, we've faced a few unexpected challenges and are trusting the Lord to bring everything together. Please pray that the evening would be a wonderful experience for everyone who attends, that things would run smoothly, and that our guests would be moved to give generously through the live auction to support the work of REAL Life.
For Robyn and her baby: Our Director of Development, Robyn (Redcay) Iordanescu, is expecting her first child, a daughter, the week of Thanksgiving! Please pray for the health and safety of both Robyn and her baby as they prepare for this exciting new chapter.
Thank you for partnering with us in prayer — it truly makes a difference.
