In a flurry of activity Wednesday night, the youth group from First Baptist Church McAllen, assaulted our bean and rice supply and when the time for them to leave was over, they had bagged up over four hundred one gallon bags and put them in suit cases and loaded them into our van. It would take us days to do what they did in one hour. 35 committed workers helping us help the poor. It looked like one of those Asian sweat shops where they were there to do one thing and one thing only, Work and work they did. So thanks Mike and the youth group for blessing us and the people in Mexico. Now that we had over a thousand pounds of beans and rice in the van, How do we get it across the border? We need it for Saturdays monthly hand out. A friend sent me an e-mail yesterday about a rich man that bent down and picked a dirty nasty old penny off the ground. When asked why he would stoop so low for a penny, the rich man replied,"because it is stamped with the words "In God We Trust" and it is constant reminder of WHO I need to trust. With that reminder to Paula and I as we sat 1 mile from the border wondering what to do, Paula said "who do WE trust", and with that we took to the bridge,got the green light and unloaded everything in the colonia. It may seem trivial to you, but what are you trusting God for? How will your faith move you to the next level of trusting Him? I've said it before and I will say it again God is not moved by our need, He is moved by our FAITH. By faith a man in Michigan donated that awesome wheel chair in the photo to Andrea, a handicapped girl, that lives in the colonia. It has a seat belt and everything which will help her a lot. Thanks Gary for thinking of her need and then responding to it.The school supplies from Elim Christian Services continue to bless many as pastors come for food and we give them each a box of school supplies as well. Ezekiel was here yesterday and we filled his truck up for His outreach here in Texas on Saturday.
