They say if you know, then you know!
That's the assumption we all too often make.
The members of the 2:18 Missions Team have been conducting a Food drive for the Henderson Settlement food Pantry twice a year, for over a decade now. I have been asked more times than I can count, why do we need worry about someone so far away. Well, the short answer is they need our help, flour, sugar and cooking oil are items not normally available to food pantries through the food banks like God's Pantry, in Lexington, KY. These items are among food staples that most of us don't even think of, as they are readily available to us.
Henderson Settlement in Frakes, KY. serves a 4-county area and is located in the heart of Bell County in the Appalachian Mountains. Bell County, Kentucky is among the poorest 3% of counties in the United States when measured by the percentage of residents living below the federal poverty line.
But that's not even the real reason, we are called to do this! In the story of the good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37) Jesus asked the question, who is your neighbor? Our neighbor is anyone in need that we have the ability to help!
No, we can't solve all the world's problems by ourselves, but we can make a difference in one family's life by donating $8.50 for a bag of Flour, Bag of Sugar and Bottle of Cooking Oil.
How do we change the world, by taking care of our neighbor's!
God Is Good - All the Time!!!
