From the Mrs...

Greetings,

I have had a passion in my heart for about 6 months now to start a new ministry. God's timing is always perfect and now is the right time to begin. The vision I have been given is to purchase a puppy (Havanese) and take him into nursing homes, childrens wards in hospitals, and even school libraries to aid children in their Reading Programs.

I have researched and been reading all about training a Therapy Dog and I know Gods called me to do this as my heart is to serve others and reach out and love those who need a special touch .I have attached a picture of the puppy I would like to purchase. He is a real cutie and the breeder is local, so there are no shipping costs involved.

I have talked already a couple of times with the breeder and he ( Bryan) has been so helpful and given me very informative information and says the Havanese breed is perfect for using as a Therapy Dog as thier personalities and temperaments are so friendly and gentle and lap up all the loving they can.

You can check out at these web sites what I will be involved in. First, I will get involved in a group therapy and then branch out on my own. I will spend 1st 12 months socialising and training my puppy and get him prepared for therapy and register him with the "Therapy Dog Inc" when he is 12 months old. Within the 1st 12 months I will approach a few nursing homes and childrens schools/libraries and ask them may I bring him into help socialise him and familiarise himself with these kind of environments.

I am excited at what God is doing in my life and I ask you please to pray and seek if this is something you can help me with and maybe contribute towards this new ministry whether in prayer, helpful advice or maybe a financial offering ( I am currently saving towards purchasing my new puppy) and be apart of it. Would you care to join me and share in this vision?

This is truly going to be a blessed ministry. I will continue to keep you updated as things progress.

Thank you for being a wonderful friend and a blessing in my life.

You can contact me at... God's furry little helper,

God bless you.

I'm excited about your new ministry Corinna. What a great way to minister at the point of need as Jesus showed us by example. God will bless you as you continue to live your life for Him and for others.
