2 More Testimonies
HI,
THIS IS RAY BEAN JR., COMING TO SHARE WITH YOU THE BLESSINGS BESTOWED ON ME 12/17/06. I WAS ASKED TO HELP HAND OUT FOOD BASKETS WITH FELLOW CHURCHES.
THE JOY THAT PEOPLE HAD ON THEIR FACES WAS A BLESSING TO ME. SOMETIMES WE DON'T UNDERSTAND AS CHRISTIANS THE LITTLE THAT WE DO TURNS OUT TO BE ENORMOUS IN OTHER PEOPLES LIVES. WE WERE ABLE PASS OUT 110 BASKETS AND PRAY FOR THE FAMILIES THAT RECEIVED THEM FOR A LOT OF THINGS IN THEIR LIVES.
AT THE END WE HAD ABOUT 20 BASKETS LEFT. WE DECIDED TO GO THIS CHURCH. A LOT OF OTHERS WONDERED ABOUT DOING IT, BUT IT FELT SO RIGHT IN MY SPIRIT THAT I SAID TO THE OTHERS LET'S JUST GO AND LOOK IN. IF THEY ARE HAVING SERVICE WE WILL LEAVE. AS GOD WOULD HAVE IT THE SERVICE WAS OVER. IT WAS TIME TO BLESS. I ASKED FOR THE PASTOR OF THE CHURCH. HE WALKED OUT AND LOOKED VERY FAMILIAR TO ME. AS WE BEGAN TO EXCHANGE WORDS THE MEMORY CAME BACK TO WHERE I KNEW HIM FROM. SO WE EXPLAINED THAT WE WANTED TO BLESS THE CHURCH WITH THE BASKETS. HOPING IT COULD HELP THEM TO HELP OTHERS. AND PRAISE GOD IT DID.
THANK YOU,
GOD BLESS

God did exceedingly and abundantly beyond what we could ask or imagine. When Steve first shared with me that about the “Food Basket Outreach” that He and Dave were planning my thought was Okay Karen and I will put together 10 baskets and the four of us will go out and distribute them. Well did God have bigger plans or what??!!
I guess I need to expand my tent pegs just a little. LOL
God supplied 114 Food Baskets and 28 servants to help. It was a lot of work but not once was it over whelming. God grace was truly enough!!
It was an awesome day of ministry. We were able to pray with many who were out of work, the elderly on a fixed income, single moms at wits-end and precious Johnny who wanted to be set free from a alcohol addiction.
Best of all we were able to give each household a new Bible, the bread of life.
A big THANK-YOU to all who gave a labor of love towards this outreach.
We serve an awesome God!! Who has awesome kids.
We love you all and count it a privilege to be co-laborers together in the harvest with you.
Proverbs 22:9 Generous hands are blessed hands because they give food to the poor

my wife (gerri) and i were envolved in the food basket outreach and it was a blessed event! it really gives one an awakening to see how some people suffer in everyday existance! i wish that more people could witness these situations personally and see how life goes on for some people even in a rich country like the united states---si ignowski
Yes you so right si ignowski, it is sad. So many do want to see it they go out of their way to avoid it. We have this down where we live. We have people who drive 10 miles out of their way to work to avoid driving through the poor housing. All we can do is what the Lord puts in front of us to do and keep putting one foot in front of other and reach out in the love of Jesus. We can touch one soul at time for Jesus's Kingdom. Praise the Lord!!!
Keep up the Lord's work, we are praying for you and will be praying Sunday for you.
