COUNTY LIFE

Eight hundred and eighty-five Bowie Independent School District students will be wearing new shoes thanks to the efforts of two local churches.
The new shoes are the benefit of an outreach from Freedom Life and Lighthouse Assembly of God Churches in Bowie through Convoy of Hope Rural Compassion.
Rural Compassion joined forces with Convoy for Hope several years ago, a much larger group that provides disaster relief all over the world. Whenever there is a natural disaster anywhere in the world, they are one of the first to show up with truck loads of water, food and clothes. The Rural Compassion program is able to help rural children in 42 different states at this point in time.
