First Baptist Euless currently has 3 CARES Teams serving:
Matt & Ana Dowling @ Camden Lakeview
David and Jeannie Ware @ Ash Lane
Matthew and Amy Timberlake @ Post Oak Place.

One of my favorite stories this month so far comes from David and Jeannie Ware:

“We took some food we had in our pantry to Lakeesha because she called us needing something to feed her 19 month-old baby. The baby had been sick with ear infections and was now on antibiotics, but had diarrhea and vomiting. Lakeesha had spent all her money on doctors and prescriptions, so we took her some broth and other clear liquids suitable for babies. We told her we would be praying for them all. We will check back on them tomorrow. She called because of our number on the calendar that says 'call if you need anything.'”

The Wares’ experience is what it’s all about. Being a CARES team is about building relationships with people, meeting them where they’re at, and earning the right to be heard. It’s as easy as bringing clear liquids for a sick baby, visiting with someone when they are going through difficult circumstances, throwing a Christmas party in the clubhouse, or giving out breakfast treats in the morning. The results are amazing!

For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
-2 Corinthians 4:6
