GET IN LINE, GOD IS ABOUT TO BLESS YOU!!

Have you ever heard that? In America we take almost everything we have for granted, when in reality, we have been told to get in line to be a blessing to others. The blessing continues to be in giving, not in the getting. Saturday we told about four families in the colonia, to come for school supplies supplied by one of the ABF (adult bible fellowship) classes at Calvary Baptist in Mc Allen where we attend. They shared the invite to everyone else and within an hour, hundreds of kids were IN LINE for paper, pens, backpacks,, glue, pencils, and anything else we had.We prayed over them first and asked God to give them learning hearts and to give the teachers wisdom. The last Mom in line was one of those Divine moments. She had her little girl with her who was mentally retarded and that gave us the opportunity to pray for her. When we started saying the name of Jesus, her smile just filled her face, SHE KNOWS HER SAVIOR. Wyman from Precious Seed Ministries came on Sat night to fill his van with beans and rice for the poor in Alton, Tx. where he has weekly outreaches. Yesterday we built and repaired several benches at an outdoor pavilion where weekly bible studies are held in a colonia outside of Rio Bravo. Many people there have accepted Christ as Savior and are hungry for Gods Word. We have been meaning to repair the benches for the people and finally got around to it. After the bench repairs we went to IZI CLUB in Rio Bravo and bought 180 litres of cooking oil, 400 pounds of sugar, 300 juice boxes and bags for the food outreach on Saturday. We will bag up the beans and rice Thursday or Friday and have more school supplies for the kids because of a matching grant fund at church which has approved our ABFs' labor of love for the kids as a qualifying project. PRAISE THE LORD! We will buy and fill another forty backpacks. The truckload of rice, destined for Somalia has been inspected and should be at the port in Mississippi today or tomorrow, so please pray that this load would get into the proper hands for distribution.THANKS TO ALL OUR PARTNERS WHO MAKE EVERYTHING WE DO POSSIBLE.
