I want to congratulate Disciples for Christ for all thier effects in some of the most poor communities. They have helped me with my resume and my daughter and son in law find jobs. We are so grateful to them and i do hope they are blessed with every they need because they deserve it very much. Betty Humphrey

I wanted to say that Disciples For Christ Communtiy Outreach offer great services for not only adults but kids to with little or no funds. These are working people such as myself that is doing great things in our communities and not being recognized for their efforts so I am glad to be able to leave this review about their good work.

My name is Tiffany Howard and I participate in the community choir that Disciples has. They also provide children's programs as well that my daughter and son can participate in. I need to find a better job and Disciples is offering free training programs that I will be taking advantage of. I as so excited because they have helped a lot of my friends find jobs and get trained to do so. Thanks you D4C.

I am a college student now but I have enjoyed the pleasure of participating in disciples for Christ programs since I was a little girl. I participated in the afterschool program, dance, choir, and college prep workshops and worked with the younger kids in the computer lab. This outreach has really helped me become the person that I am today and without their support I don't know how I would have made it, especially with all the negativity in my neighborhoods and my schools. Thanks Disciples for caring about me I mean it from the bottom of my heart.

I have been involved with outreach for some years and it has been a blessing to me and my family. A while back my family was hit with two death at the same time and we were unprepared and did not have a lot of money to pay for the two burials and Disciples Outreach got together and went to the media and called for help and raised the money for both burials. I'm so grateful I also participate in the music program and it is such a joy to be apart of this program it has made me grow in my singing. I have also participated in the computer lab this program is such a asset to the community I believe that the Disciples Community Outreach is a God sent every program offered is so much needed and our community is blessed to have these services available to us.

I have been involved with this outreach for a number of years. I have had to privilege of learning in the computer lab to hone my computer skill on presentation design. I have participated in the carpentry workshops as well as the music programs. It is one of the best programs I have ever been a part of. The organizers and founders have created such a family atmosphere you feel like you can learn anything and you usually do.
