...share your food with the hungry and provide the poor wanderer with shelter--when you see the naked clothe him... Isaiah 58:7
A SPECIAL MOMENT FOR EVERYONE
When Darrin and Christina came with us to Reynosa Sunday afternoon, to meet the family they so generously supplied the money to build Martin and Maria a home, tears filled everyones eyes as they connected in a way deeper than just meeting. They were connected by the Spirit of the Living God living His life through them to help another family. This is Christianity in action! People forgetting about themselves and DOING the Word of God rather than being hearers only. They brought toys for each child and some personal things for Mom and Dad. In return Maria gave them a gift and a letter expressing their hearts. Maria showed us her wedding photos and her dress. We took the dress back home with us to have it cleaned and stored properly. Darrin prayed over the family and the home they now enjoy before we left. Saturday was the last Saturday in the month and as always, people started coming to get in line for food at 6:30. I believe there were about 140 families that had come and Carmelo shared from Psalm 23. THE LORD IS INDEED OUR SHEPHERD AND WE SHALL NOT WANT. He supplies all our needs because He is the GOOD SHEPHERD. We started Vicki's' house Tuesday and will finish it this afternoon. She fed us twice yesterday as we almost built the whole house in one day. It was hot and not one cloud in the sky. Usually we don't build such a small house, but it is only 2 people, so the smaller house seemed justified. Clemente and Antonio finish the block walls on another house that a church in North Carolina supplied the funds for, so we'll have to put the rafters and roof on next week.
