Ministry teams from Lake Gaston Christian Life Centre (formerly Ebony Assembly of God) of Ebony, Virginia and Mariners Church of Irvin, California assisted the residents and workers in preparing for the first Open House at the Nancy Cole Women's Home.  Church leaders from across the world and local politicians were given tours through the new building and saw demonstrations of the various activities that take place on a regular basis at the home.  Paul Cole, son of the late Nancy Corbert Cole, was present for the celebration.  This day was a reflection of the many "Divine Connections" that God has created to build and operate the new home.  To God be the Glory!
