“We Are the Humble Servants of the People’s Generosity”
Please Take All Donation to: 304 West Illinois
What a great job the Independents did yesterday at the ministry. It was nice to have Mianna back at the front and all of our regular volunteers as well. Thank you all for all you do to help so many families!
The Lord supplied a real need for the ministry yesterday. We had a lot of things we needed to move from the front of the building and off the trailer in the back. However, we didn’t have the manpower to get it finished. Well, a man saw Andy and asked him if he needed some help getting all the stuffed moved. Andy told him we sure did. By 8:00 Saturday morning two high school students came to the back door and said, “We are here to help!”
What a blessing they were too! They loaded five truck loads to clean up around the ministry, and went with Andy to deliver a truck full of items that a family needed. And it didn’t stop there. A family asked me if we would like to have all of the things that were left from their garage sale for the ministry, and I said, “Yes, that would be awesome!” Seth and I went to pick it up at 3:00 yesterday afternoon. A year ago they had an estate sale but still had a lot left so they decided to have a garage sale. They sold a lot of things, but still had a full trailer bed and our truck full of items to donate.
They told us they were going to bring the trailer to Ho**er. I thought oh my, we are going to need help unloading all the boxes and other things. I texted the mother of the young men who came to help us, and she said, “Yes! They can help!” So their whole family came to help unload, and on top of that, two other people came to help us!” We had 10 people helping us unload the truck and the large trailer. What a wonderful blessing all of those were that helped! May the Lord bless each one of you ABUNDANTLY!
Then when we got to church, I forgot to pick up the donations from two families last Wednesday, so we put those in the back of the pickup. When we were almost finished eating, I received a text from my friend that she had some things to donate, so we went by her house, and then a lady asked last week if we could come by her house on Sunday to get her donations! We headed home with a truckful of donations for families in need! Then I received another text from a lady in our church wanting to meet us at the ministry with a carload of donations from her son’s family garage sale! What an AWESOME group of people who are always willing to give to those in need out of their generosity! THANK ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!
Two young boys were thrilled to get the two bikes with training wheels. One was for a very young guy, and the other was for a boy in first or second grade. Well, an older boy came to the ministry, who had never learned to ride a bike and asked his mom if he could have it. She said, “Yes!” And he was so excited. Thank you so much for the bikes for those two guys!
A mother brought her three children to the ministry for clothing. Her daughter is in middle school, her older son in elementary school and her baby. We were trying to help her find clothes for all of them. When she left she had the biggest smile on her face and said, “Thank you all so much!” She had found clothes for her whole family and was so excited! What a blessing you are to so many!
What a blessing all the children’s shoes, socks and clothes were to so many! Brenda was so excited to be able to fill the children’s room again with all sizes. The diapers were also a blessing to several mothers! Other mothers found baby furniture, diaper bags, socks, and other things their children needed! Thank you so much!
The children loved all the toys and all the books. A little girl was so excited to get the little kitchen set, and all the children had their bags full of books, stuffed animals and toys. Thank you!
Two ladies were so excited to get the vacuums you donated. One lady did not have one at all, and the lady needed one that worked! What a blessing! Thank you!
Thanks to all of you who donated jeans, we had enough for all the men that needed those. They were so grateful for those and all the socks as well!
A church had started a nursery, but didn't have a changing table/baby bed.. Whoever donated the changing table/bed, you definitely answered their prayers. And it even rolls.
They were so excited! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for the brand-new swim suits. There were two ladies that needed swimsuits, and there they were in their sizes. They were so excited to receive those!
What a blessing all the kitchen items, plates, plastic ware, coffee maker, dish towels, and so many other items who donated were to so many ladies. They were very grateful that you all met their needs!
The men’s caps and NIKE shirts all went really fast to men that needed those. They couldn’t believe there were so many shirts in their sizes. THANK YOU!
A lady had breast cancer surgery and needed large pajamas with buttons in the front. Someone donated a large bag of women’s pajamas and gowns, and there were two brand-new pairs of pajamas with buttons SIZE LARGE. The lady was so very grateful and wants to thank you so much for meeting her needs!
Devotion: “True Victory” “Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.” James 4:7 “It is war! The enemy's time is short! Jsus is coming soon! But thanks be to God who always causes us to triumph in Him. Remember that true victory is only found in faith’s obedience to God’s Word. As you go forth to battle, keep bringing every thought captive to Jesus Christ and don’t give the devil any place in your mind or in your life.” Kay Arthur
