I am truly amazed at the giving of God's people to our work. Many thanks to dear friends in Ahoskie who came to work so hard in putting together food boxes for distribution last week; they along with other friends from Roanoke Rapids put together some 250 boxes of food weighing about 50 pounds each. Thanks to the many volunteers who worked to distribute the food the next day.
I am grateful to the children and the teenagers at Murfreesboro Baptist Church for their welcome of me last evening. It was my pleasure to talk about what God is doing at Union Mission. I was particularly impressed with the maturity of the questions that were asked. We enjoyed role play of the "Good Samaritan" story and then discussed how each of us can follow the lesson of the Good Samaritan. I felt compassion from the children and teenagers as they sincerely wanted to know about the homeless people with whom I work. A great surprise to me was the wonderful gift of toiletry items for those who need it. My car is stocked full and I look forward to delivering the items to Union Mission soon.
We are grateful to Enterprise Baptist Church who plan to come and work on a couple of rooms at Union Mission in May; we are grateful to Pleasant Garden Baptist Church who will be coming to help us with music, Bible teaching, and facility repair; we are thankful to Murfreesboro Baptist Church who have a desire to come in March to assist with a project. Future groups later in the summer will be coming from as far as Tennessee and Indiana.
We will be developing a Community Garden in Roanoke Rapids and Buies Creek this spring. I am grateful to those who want to minister to others in this way. What a blessing the food will be to those who need it.
Pray for these who prepare to help us in Eastern NC. God is showering us with His people doing His work.
