Red Ridge United Methodist Angel Doll Ministry
Child abuse, abandonment, neglect…..these are serious subjects, requiring serious solutions. Caring people can feel helpless and overwhelmed by them.
Angels Of Liberty Ministries, Inc. exists to provide hand-made, Guardian Angel Dolls for these hurting children. It may be asked what effect a rag doll will have? The doll lets the individual know that someone loves them, and that they are not alone. It represents a network of concern for the individual child. Further, it indicates a resolve on the part of caring adults to put an end to these problems. And it is a way that you can reach out to these children and touch them yourself.
This is a call to everyone who has ever hurt and felt all alone…. a call to grandmothers, grandfathers, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers and children. The Lord is using each Angel that is stitched and stuffed with love to minister to children who are physically and sexually abused. These children are abandoned, betrayed, hurting and sick. The dolls are also now being given to seriously ill children, and even older adults in nursing homes.
God birthed this ministry through a special lady’s heart, burdened with the needs of each child that has a wounded soul. Olene Hill Stoker’s concern for these little tender hearts has resulted in Angels of Liberty Ministries.
Over the years God has touched many wounded children by the Angel Dolls that He sends to each child. As Olene would share her burden with others, they too responded to the call to help these children through the making of Angel Dolls. Many times supplies and money have been donated. Always, God has provided the hands to work and the hearts full of love that are necessary to produce each Angel Doll.
God continues to open doors and make the way possible for everyone to help an Angel Doll find the way into the arms of these precious children. There is a lot of work involved but it is truly a labor of love. In fact, the work has drawn communities together as churches and groups pray and work together.
Olene is a grandmother with a burdened heart for the pain caused in each child’s life due to abuse. This is a subject that is very close to her own heart as she has walked the path with abused children. Olene’s prayer is that every child would come to know God’s love and to receive new life through Jesus Christ. He can mend every broken child and wash away the pain that has wounded each one so deeply.
Would you be willing to join us in ministering to these precious children? If you would please contact us for more information on how you can get started.
May His work be done. Amen.
