Obituary
Obituary- Old Faithful 1987-2017 She had a servants heart and gave her all right up until the very end. She helped countless families receive furniture, she helped many families move. She donated her time to cart many items to and from yard sales and warehouses. She picked up countless donations and supported our food ministry well. She will be missed by our many volunteers over the years. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you send donations toward her replacement to Outreach for Christ at PO Box 4326 Virginia Beach, VA 23454. Write Box Truck fund in the memo. Every donation is tax deductible. She truly was the work horse of the ministry and we are at a standstill until she is replaced. We are looking for a newer model. Must have at least a 14 ft box or bigger with a lift gate. Must have air conditioning for our workers to be refreshed along the way in the hot summer months. Help us get back up and going to help the multitudes in need in our local Hampton Roads region.
Toys and Food
We have been gathering toys and we have a huge need for toys for boys and girls over the age of 9 and for infant toys 0-12 months. Please help us.
Men at work!
We are very proud of our director and CEO, John Savola. He took 3 of his 5 sons to Beaumont, Texas to help with Hurricane Relief. They were housed and supported by Operation Blessing through CBN. They have been working hard to be a blessing to those who have been devastated by flooding. People have lost everything they own and still cannot live in their homes. They have had opportunities to pray with the homeowners and be a beacon of hope to many who seemed to have lost all hope. The photo below shows the homeowner happy to see progress being made on her home.

We would like to recognize David Cubitt. He has been an amazing blessing to the ministry. He came to the Discipleship Program before we opened our first house. He has grown into a very godly man with an awesome reputation. He works out in the community helping others and he heads up our furniture ministry. We get many requests for him. He has never broken a rule or tested dirty and he shows excellent leadership qualities. He will be our first graduate from the program and we will celebrate his many victories. When he came to us he had many obstacles to overcome and we have seen him rise to the challenge every time!
