We were able to serve 36 families and almost 100 children with some simple gifts of food and clothing. Obviously we can never give them enough to meet every physical need, but it such a wonderful blessing and privilege to be able to give them anything and point them to that which is greater still.

I personally love distribution day, yes it’s a lot of work to prepare, at times messy dealing with the sin issues that arise at such an event, but the exhaustion is well worth the opportunity to worship God by serving the least of these.

Thank you to all who donated their time, effort, energy, food supplies, and money that made this day a reality. Thanks to Born Again Blessings for the large donation of clothes and children items. Collectively we were able to give a great witness to the love and grace of our Lord. God bless you and grace be with you!
