From the desk of Bill Lombardi
2016 brought us sorrow along with
happiness. We lost a wonderful volunteer;
Rev. Vassie M. Ferebee, who went home to be
with the Lord March 11, 2016.
The Senior Pastor from Norview Baptist
Church in Norfolk; Pastor Michael Smith left
us. Thank you for your guidance, and fellowship
over the years. You are missed by all who know
you and love you.
This year we renovated the ventilation
system under the Onesimus Training Center.
Several Vehicles were donated to the Ministry
for use by staff and residents. Several of our
Residents were released from probation. Some
even received their rights back, and a number of
residents were able to restore their driving
Privileges.
This year 51 men entered our program,
32 graduated and are making good progress in their
lives. Some of that number have remained for a
little more seasoning. A number of men made
professions of faith and others renewed their faith.
Two men made decisions to follow the Lord in
believer’s baptism. Three of our residents continued
their education by taking college classes.
It’s an honor and privilege to serve as the
Resident Manager for Onesimus Ministries. It
gives me great joy in seeing first hand how the
Lord works in each one of the men's lives. Thank
you for all that you do to support this Ministry.
You are our family, our friends, and we love you
all. May God Bless everyone in this new year.
