“The Circle of Angels Initiative is a faith-based organization” with which I have been acquainted for over 30 years. Yes, I had heard that the “group” went about doing good within our community; however, a personal misfortune in my life brought me face-to-face with those “invisible” friends who made a very visible difference in the life of my famly.

Within 24 hours, the Circle of Angels encompassed me and undergirded me in a manner that, not only aided me in my distress, but also helped to unite many organizations and individuals in fulfilling Christ’s commandment, “Feed my sheep.”

I thank God for the “Circle of Angels” whom I now realize are some of the people with whom I have broken bread over the years or with whom I have worked. This circle consisted of friends constantly helping their neighbors .

“Neighbors are rich and poor,
varied in color and race,
neighbors are near and far away.

These are the ones we should serve,
these are the ones we should love;
all these are neighbors to us and you.”
-Tom Colvin

Thank you, Circle of Angels, for being my neighbor.
