ROAD TRIP REAPS GREAT REWARDS

On the last Saturday of every month we give beans, rice, oil, sugar and soap to all who come. It is one of the best days of the month by far and this past Saturday was no exception. Dailan and Desiree Mosley along with her sister Kelisha from Lakewood Church in Houston brought thier visiting mother and brother from Denver to spend the day in the colonia helping us distribute food to the 175 families that gathered at our ministry house. A day of sacrifice for them, to use thier vacation time to minister to the needs of others. They drove all night in the van they rented to haul all the clothes and gifts that they brought to Mexico. As Carmelo gave a message out of Psalm 23 about Gods goodness and protection the people listened intently and several came forward for prayer. Before we started handing out the food, I challenged everyone to look at this food as a seed that could possibly be sown into someone elses live that had a greater need than them, rather than thier own harvest for thier own use. When God puts something in our hand, it is for one of two purposes. To be used by us, or to be placed back into Gods hands by faith and expect God to do a miracle and provide for us in greater measure. There were many AMENS as I shared the principle of sowing and reaping to the people. I think we don't give God a chance to move in the lives of the poor if we don't share these principles with them, so I'm looking forward to hearing some stories from those people that gave thier food away this week and met the needs of someone else. We cooked up several hundred hot dogs and gave all the kids juice boxes and some other treats. We didn't have time to hand out all the clothes those guys brought from Houston because they wanted to visit one of the orphanages in town. So we went to Casa Mami and visited with the children there, handed out candy and crayons and paper and then headed for the border so the rental van could be returned in Houston on time. So thank you so much Dailan, Desiree.Kelisha, Anita and Lunden for driving 13 hours to spend 5 hours being Jesus with skin on. Later that evening the Kincaids came for dinner and we celebrated Lisas birthday. We sure don't spend enough time with those guys and it's always good to see them.
