For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 2 Timothy 1:6
Sam and Allana Guidry live in Toledo Ohio with their four children. They are the Urban Missionaries in Toledo. Sam is a graduate of Central Bible College earning his BA in Bible and Theology. Allana is recovering from a Bone Marrow Transplant necessitated by a bout with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Together they have answered God’s call to serve him in the city of Toledo. Sam and Allana have 5 children and 2 grandchildren. Their three girls live with them in South Toledo. The oldest boy along with his wife and son teaches music in the Minneapolis area. Their second child is due in October. The other boy is serving in the Army and is soon to return to the States from Korea where he was deployed for a year.
After having served with The Lewis House Ministries for several years they are partnering with churches and organizations in the Toledo area to do something new for the Kingdom of God. Sam also serves with Cherry Street Mission Ministries. Allana has established an online ministry to women, True Beauty. True Beauty has grown over the past year and is now composed of three groups and about 60 women. You can find out more about True Beauty HERE .
Together they are in the process of establishing Fan Into Flame Ministries to encourage, facilitate and provide opportunities for God’s people to exercise the gift that he has placed in them. Donations are not currently tax deductible but they greatly appreciate your support in this time of transition. It is our goal to be incorporated and certified as a 501c3 by the end of 2016.
On January 4th 2013 Allana was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. This was further complicated by the presence of the Philadelphia Chromosome. The story of their journey with God into ministry and through this time of struggle can be found here . Allana is doing very well
