Saturday Serving

Saturday morning was our second annual food distribution at a local, inner city, community. We have been doing some outreach in this community for a little while now and this has become a very special place to us.

Our student ministry rallied together to collect food items and, through God's provision, we were able to fill 150 bags of food for all of the apartments there. We gathered together to go over details and to pray before we set out.

 And, we're off!
We knocked on each and every door, told them that we were there in the name of Jesus,  that He loved them very much, and so did we! Chad and I had the opportunity with our group to sit down with one sweet family. They invited us into their home, served us coffee and juice, and shared with us a little about their lives. They are from Bhutan and came to the US a couple of years ago. We shared the gospel with them as best we could with the language barrier and just prayed that the Holy Spirit was making it clear to their hearts. We know that His word will not return void!

 Just a few of the sweet faces I've grown to love. There are many, many more!
God is good! No other way to say it! I pray you have a very blessed Thanksgiving with those you love!
