Weekly Food Pantry Update

Today, we were able to help 49 people. It is very rewarding to see faces that were guarded in the first few weeks walk in with smiles and warm greetings. It is amazing how people react to being called by name and shown kindness. What a simple thing to do that goes such a long way. This morning I was able to talk with Melody. She said she is the mother of seven but only has 5 children still living. One of her sons is having a second heart surgery on Thursday. Can you imagine her fear? When I told her that we have faithful family members who would present her requests before the Lord, she thanked you. She also said that she prays to St. Jude for her family, and I was reminded how much these people need Truth spoken into their lives. Jesus is her only hope. I pray He will continue to give us the opportunity to tell her that and show her His saving, healing grace.
