April 2026 - The Goodness Report

Dear TGP Family,

There are moments when the Kingdom of God becomes visible—when Scripture is no longer just something we believe, but what we witness right in front of us. “For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power” (1 Corinthians 4:20). This is what we are seeing through The Goodness Project. From provision filling the shelves of our Buffalo Resource Center, to lives being restored and reoriented on our Mississippi campus, to communities encountering the tangible love of Christ through outreach in Jackson—this is Kingdom work in motion.

It’s the Gospel expressed through action, and where God’s compassion for people is revealed through provision, presence, and partnership. This is not just meeting needs… It’s advancing His Kingdom, one life, one family, and one community at a time.

What does it look like to serve over 1000 charities across Western New York? It looks like this:

Shelves filled with essential goods. Rows of supplies ready to be distributed.
Provision waiting to meet real needs. This is the heartbeat of our Buffalo Resource Center. 

Every item you see represents an opportunity—an opportunity for a family to be cared for, a child to be supported, a mother to be strengthened, a community to encounter the love of Christ.

And the most incredible part?

These resources don’t just go to one place.

They are distributed to over 1000 partner charities throughout Western New York—each one doing critical, hands-on work in their communities every day.

By equipping these organizations with resources, we extend their reach, multiply their impact, and ensure that more people are served with dignity, excellence, and love. 

This is how transformation happens.
Not in isolation—but together.

We are so honored to stand alongside these incredible organizations and to play a small part in what God is doing across this region. And truly—this wouldn’t be possible without you.

Because of your generosity and partnership, these shelves stay stocked, these doors stay open, and hope continues to move forward.

🇩🇴 Our Second Event in the Dominican Republic

We are filled with gratitude as we share highlights from our second outreach event in El Valle, Samaná, a rural coastal community in the Dominican Republic where resources are limited, infrastructure is basic, and many families face daily challenges due to high unemployment and isolation.

At this event, we had the joy of serving 170 children and 100 adults. What unfolded was nothing short of beautiful—laughter echoing through the village, children playing games, families gathering together, and hearts opening to receive hope.

Throughout the day:

• Children experienced pure joy through games and connection 
• Families received prayer and encouragement 
• The message of Jesus Christ was shared, bringing hope and light 
• A deep sense of gratitude and community filled the atmosphere 

In a place where hardship is often the norm, this day became a reminder that hope is present, love is tangible, and no one is forgotten.

So many families were blessed—not just through what was given, but through what was felt: dignity, joy, and the presence of God.

As we continue building in El Valle, we are expectant for what’s ahead. This is more than an outreach—it’s the beginning of ongoing transformation in a community that deeply matters to God.

Thank you for being part of what He is doing through The Goodness Project.

🙇 200,000 Eggs. One Mission. Real Hope in Jackson.

The Goodness Project had the honor of serving the city of Jackson by giving away more than 200,000 eggs to families in need—a simple but powerful act of provision in a place where so many are facing real, daily hardship.

This outreach wasn’t random.

It was intentional.

God called us to Jackson.

Not because it was easy… but because it matters.

Jackson is known as one of the poorest cities in America, where many families are navigating a crisis—lack of resources, limited opportunities, and generational challenges. And when we prayed about where to plant, where to build, and where to serve… This is where He led us.

Because this is where hope is needed most.

As highlighted by WAPT Channel 16, this outreach was about more than food—it was about standing in the gap for families and reminding them they are seen, valued, and not alone.

At The Goodness Project, we don’t believe in temporary relief alone—we believe in long-term transformation. We are here to work alongside the city, the state, and every willing partner to bring sustainable change, opportunity, and restoration.

Because when God sends you somewhere, it’s not just to meet a need… It’s to build something that lasts.

🙇 The Needs in Jackson, Mississippi are Real.

Every single day, we receive calls from social workers asking if we have space for one more child… one more teenager who just needs a safe place to lay their head.

And the truth is—these aren’t just placements. 

These are lives in the middle of a crisis.

The youth who come to our Mississippi campus (ages 14–18) are carrying a weight most people will never fully understand. Many have experienced deep trauma—being removed from their home due to abuse, navigating the impact of a parent’s addiction, or even the heartbreaking loss of both parents.

God has called us to be a safe haven for these young people—especially those who are at risk of aging out of the system without the support they need to step into adulthood with stability, confidence, and hope.

As we continue to grow, we are learning more and more about what “the system” provides… and where the gaps still exist.

And what we’ve found is this:

👉 The greatest impact happens when a child is placed in a safe, structured environment with consistent, relational support.

At our campus, this looks like:

• Regular meals and snacks every day
• Guidance in decisions about education and tutoring/help with school work
• Building emotional intelligence
• Safe community—learning how to relate, communicate, and grow with peers
• Mentorship from caring, consistent staff

While each child has an assigned social worker, the reality is many of those workers are hours away. These kids need daily, present, relational support—not just periodic check-ins.

So we are building something new.

A program where their needs are met in ONE place—not fragmented, not scattered—but whole, intentional, and consistent.

This has required countless hours of meetings, strategy, and prayer.

But what matters most… is what the kids themselves are saying.

“Thanks to The Goodness Project, I feel very confident in what comes next in my life.”

“During my stay at The Goodness Project, I have changed in many ways… I am a lot more patient and have developed new habits like waking up early and cleaning.”

“My biggest adjustment was learning how to get along with other peers.”

Their words remind us why this matters.

We cannot do this alone.

We need your continued prayers as we build, refine, and expand.
And if you feel led to partner with us, your support helps us say “yes” to the next call… the next child… the next life that needs hope.

Because every child is worth fighting for. 💛

As we continue to say “yes” to what God is building, we recognize that this work was never meant to be done alone. It takes a community of people who are willing to step in, stand in the gap, and partner with Heaven on earth. If this vision resonates with you—if you feel stirred by the impact, the stories, and the lives being changed—we invite you to be a part of it. 

Whether through prayer, partnership, or financial giving, your “yes” helps us serve more children and families, meet their needs, and advance the Kingdom at the same time. 

Every seed sown becomes part of a greater story of restoration, hope, and transformation. Thank you for your partnership!
