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.
Missionary Lea Jean
Thank you for your donations to missions. God bless the ministry of Refined and Empowered!
Thank you for all the goodies we received for school. We thank you, you all are greatly appreciated.
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 the thoughtful donation to
Catalina Beauty Aesthetics, and in supporting
my efforts to get my business and life back in
order.
You’re kindness will allow me to
replace supplies in that were lost in the
Hurricane. I would personally like to 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 instantly extended her gratitude. I have a
tremendous amount of respect and gratitude
for her. She is the reason I learned about the
outreach work that Refined and Empowered
provides to the community, if you’re ever in
need of volunteers I’d be more than happy to
extend my services.
Thank you and God bless.
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

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 a part of this group for over a year. This group has been consistent in prayer everyday @ 5:30 pm since the beginning of the pandemic. I appreciate this group because they do more than pray they also help the community. They raised over $500 for a parent in my school whose house burned down. They have given me an opportunity minister the gospel. They collaborate with the missions group at my church by donating to help the country of Haiti. But most of all this group has people that are transparent they love the Lord and they honestly and truly pray. When you post and ask for a prayer request, know that someone is praying for you. I thank God to be a part of Refined & Empowered . I count it an honor and a privilege to be a 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.
Love,
Minister Lea Jean
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.
Growing up and hearing the words ‘si Dios lo quiera’ or ‘gracias a Dios’ was one thing but learning what God can do in our lives on a daily basis if we intercede in powerful prayer, now that’s a whole other level. The sisterhood of Refined and Empowered Outreach has shown me to value life in a different way. Not to fret about things but to ask God to show me the why and the how. Being connected to such a community of empowerment has challenged me to become a better human being over 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.
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 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
Hello 😊my name is Kelly and I would love to tell you how much the pray line has helped me during COVID 🙏 . My best friend Deedra told me about the call in March 2020 and I have been a part of the group ever since. I look forward to hearing these Amazing women pray. It seems that every time I am on the call they are either speaking to me or helping me pray through something I may be going through .I have been a part of this group and it has elevated me to another level in my spiritual growth .Being a part of this community has changed me tremendously. 🙏🙏🙏🙏
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 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.
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
