Served 18 Families and a total of 75 people. The month of June we served 65 Families and 245 people. We are expecting July to hit 100 families and 350 - 400 people this will be moving closer to Pastors vision of 1000 people a week, we believe in August we will reach 500 - 600 people per week as we open the pantry on Wed nights, being the only exclusive food pantry open at night, we also need plenty of food drives and volunteers as this will increase our service to the community and be God's love extended as we try to feed God's sheep....... We will also be using Wed as an outreach to move the people coming on Wed into our church family ativities, CCK, 12:11 Youth, and other Wed night opportunities. As I sat in the pantry today preparing my thoughts for the day, I was moved by the scripture in Psalms 119:45 - I will walk in freedom, for I have devoted myself to your commandments. I would like to challenge everyone who calls themselves a disciple including me, to examine the word DEVOTED, The dictionary says this, A zealous attachment, loyalty and affectionate. God spoke to me 3 things that attach themselves to letter E which should be our mission, Evangelism as the title and the action E's are:
Excitment - Zealous attachment
Effort - Develops loyalty
Energy - Which produces an affectionate love that comes from the Holy Spirit
We appreciate our Pastor and his loving heart to Reach up, Reach out and Reach Madison and beyond, but we need the whole body to function in Evangelism that will take excitment,effort and energy from you and I, so please consider what God is asking us to do to expand His Kingdom and win the lost. Thanks, Big V & Debbie G.
Thank you Lord for the hearts of your people who are willing to support Your vision.....
