"For I was an hungered,
and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a
stranger, and ye took me in;
Naked and ye clothed me: I
was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me."
Matthew 25:40-41

Mercy
Ministries Directors |
Juanita
Lane
Ken Lane took early retirement from the paper mill
where he worked to go to Bible College to learn to work with
children. Everyone suspected that Ken's gifting wasn't to work with
children, but the "Lord moves in mysterious ways." So, Ken and
Juanita moved to Long Island, NY where he enrolled as a student at Christ
for the Nations and Juanita went to work in the college kitchen.
While at CFTN Ken did not work with children, but spent his week-ends
working in Manhattan with New York City Relief among the homeless and drug
addicts of the city. Being a former alcoholic, Ken displayed a warm
compassion for displaced persons. When they moved back to Vermont,
they came with a burden for the poor and displaced of our community and
Mercy Ministries was born.
WE WERE SADDENED THIS WINTER TO SAY GOOD-BYE
TO KEN LANE, WHO ALONG WITH HIS WIFE JUANITA FOUNDED AND RAN MERCY
MINISTRIES TOGETHER FOR OVER 25 YEARS. KEN'S DEATH HAS LEFT A
BIG HOLE IN ALL OF OUR HEARTS, BUT HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE WITH US FOR
A LONG, LONG TIME. PLEASE PRAY
FOR JUANITA AS SHE CONTINUES TO DIRECT THE WORK THAT SHE AND HER
BELOVED PARTNER STARTED TOGETHER SO LONG AGO. |
