Dear Ms. Finley & The Refined & Empowered Outreach, On behalf of our Senior Pastor, L. Cecil Blocker & congregation, we want to take this opportunity to extend our sincere appreciation for your generous contribution. Your donation of $300.00 in response to our petition to raise money towards a great cause has left a lasting impression on the hearts of this family & ourselves. Thanks to you, it really helped lift the burden of unexpected losses & financial expenses to our dear Frost Family during the tragedy of losing their family home due to a house fire on May 21, 2021.
A well-known author by the name of Helen Keller quotes,
“Alone, we can do little; Together we can do much.” This statement is befitting to your expression of kindness & willingness to partner with us. It is wonderful to see that we can pull together as a community and work for a common good when needed. Once again, our sincere appreciation to you and your organization for your generosity as we would not have been able to carry out the mission we desired for this family without your support.

With Treasured Love & Prayers, Victoria Blocker

My name is Ta’mirah Gainer. Wednesday there was a fire that led to the building being vacated due to structure damage. I am trying to stay positive and thank the lady I called today Tara for her kind prayer. Thank you for your donation to help us out in a time of need. We are trusting God.

I would like to thank your organization for the generous donation you gave to my friend and her family. She was able to purchase some necessities for the new baby. She truly appreciates you and so do I. God bless you all.

My name is Kelly, and I would love to share how much the prayer line has helped me during COVID 🙏. My best friend Deedra told me about the call in March 2020, and I have been part of the group ever since. I look forward to hearing these amazing women pray. Every time I am on the call, they either speak directly to me or help me pray through something I am going through. Being part of this group has elevated my spiritual growth to another level. This community has changed me tremendously. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

I just want to take a moment to express how grateful I am for Refined and Empowered Outreach. I have been coming on the line and been connected to this ministry for a couple of years now and my life has been greatly impacted from the God connection that I have with the women of this ministry. It’s great when you can be apart of something that causes your life to grow and expand. It’s also great to be able to call on people in your time of need for support and to believe God with you and for you. I have called on them for a few things but, most recently I had covid and was admitted into the hospital. I was put on oxygen and they immediately began to pray for me and my son, reached out daily to make sure I was ok and also made sure I had food. Being connected I also received medical advice and care. It just feels good to have community and family. I love and appreciate them so much and I am grateful to have them. God Bless

My name is Kayla and I just wanted to reach out to the outreach program and say thank you.I’m very blessed to have others who are able to support someone in need. Life has been a little tough but with the guidance, love, and respect I have received it is the best thing I could ever wish for; especially in a time like this. This program has made a great impact on my life knowing that the little things matter.I have been moved to the safe house and things are going a little bit better.I hope that one day I will get the opportunity to meet you all.

I was recently injured during a fatal house fire, whereas my only chance for survival was to jump out of a third floor window. I lost everything, but my FAITH. It was a very traumatic experience. Refined and Empowered assisted me not only financially, but spiritually and emotionally. Because of their donation, I was immediately able to buy clothing, food and necessities. In fact, Refined and Empowered provided to me before the Red Cross. Because of the prayers from this extraordinary group of intercessors, I know that God has a purpose for me. To live and not die, to help others as they have helped me, to submit myself to his calling and to give God praise through the good and bad.

Refined and Empowered has changed my life in so many ways by empowering me to seek God in all of my affairs. My prayer life has changed drastically where I’m praying for God’s will in my life. I now affirm myself in God’s word daily. This ministry has transformed my life for the better. I am forever thankful to God and my spiritual sisters for saving my life.

Grace and peace from God our Father and our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
I truly thank God for Refined & Empowered. The Lord has blessed me to be part of this group for over a year. Since the beginning of the pandemic, this group has been consistent in prayer every day at 5:30 pm. I appreciate this group because they do more than pray; they also help the community. They raised over $500 for a parent at my school whose house burned down and have given me the opportunity to minister the gospel. They collaborate with the missions group at my church by donating to help Haiti.
Most importantly, this group is made up of people who are transparent, love the Lord, and genuinely pray. When you post a prayer request, know that someone is praying for you. I thank God for being part of Refined & Empowered. It is an honor and a privilege to be part of this anointed group of servants. To God be the glory for the leadership of this great group! Keep doing the work of the Lord, and may God continue to bless us always in Jesus’ name.

The Shorter Family wishes to express sincere gratitude to the members of Refine and Empowered outreach for the monetary donation made out to the funeral for K. Shorter in Jamaica. It was indeed appreciated and received with gratitude. Thank you

Thank you for the thoughtful donation to Catalina Beauty Aesthetics and for supporting my efforts to get my business and life back in order.
Your kindness will allow me to replace supplies that were lost in the hurricane. I would like to personally extend my gratitude to Ms. Tara Finley. She is my learning leader at Parisian Beauty Academy, and the moment she heard about my situation, she immediately extended her support. I have a tremendous amount of respect and gratitude for her. Thanks to her, I learned about the outreach work that Refined and Empowered provides to the community. If you ever need volunteers, I would be more than happy to offer my services.
Thank you, and God bless.

I’m sending a huge thank you to the Refined and Empowered Outreach for supporting me during these challenging times. As a student and a single mother with very little support, I am incredibly grateful for your assistance. Having left my job to pursue my career, I deeply appreciate organizations like Refined and Empowered. Without your help, the world wouldn’t be as bright.
Thank you so much to all of you. Your help is truly heartfelt. I hope to one day participate in your events, whether it’s giving back or offering encouragement. Thank you all again!

Thank you for thinking of me and blessing me with groceries. May Heaven’s blessings overtake all of you! ❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾

Minister Tara and Refined & Empowered,
Please know that the teaching staff at Trinity Child Care Center want to thank you tremendously for the thoughtful Back to School package you provided to each classroom. The books and learning materials are a sure delight to each room. The students are so excited and look forward to large group reading time in addition to one-on-one reading opportunities with teachers.
As we know, reading stimulates the imagination, develops social skills, and helps children learn about the world. While our goal at Trinity Child Care Center is to help children embrace and develop their own uniqueness, your contribution to our efforts will help us stay true to fulfilling our mission. Bless you for blessing us! Peace and love

Thank you for all the goodies we received for school. We thank you, you all are greatly appreciated.

Missionary Lea Jean,
Thank you for your donations to missions. God bless the ministry of Refined and Empowered!

Dear Ms. Finley,
Thank you for the generous donations of toiletry items to our families participating in our Bergen HEARTS program inside our family homeless shelter. The woman of the shelter certainly appreciate it.
We are very fortunate to have organizations like Refined and Empowered stepping up to help us meet the needs of the underserved and the economically challenged.

Good morning my name is Kayla Clark. I would like to thank the members of Refined And Empowered Outreach for diapers and wipes for my son. I really do appreciate it and pray that the outreach can continue to help those in need of assistance.
