SERVING IN WORD AND IN DEED

Laura and Elizabeth have been at the Regional Bible Institute for over a month now and the director now allows us to take the girls out for the day. It's not they are in prison, but they wanted them to become comfortable with living outside of the colonia. Both girls were born in the U.S., but have lived in Mx for most of their short lives. The Institute houses and educates the girls while also learning life skills, piano,English and many other skills. So Sunday after Church, we picked them up and took them out to lunch and afterwards Paula trimmed their hair. Roy and Rebecca have monthly sponsors to cover the 175 dollar per month cost at the school. We had a gift for Elizabeth's school to cover the first three months from some people on the Carpenters Crew. The girls seen to like the school, but miss their families alot. Roy and Johnny are busy organizing and building shelves and work benches in the trade school. I need to purchase wood and steel to get things started next week. I posted a few pictures of the two welders we will be using at the trade school. One new one and one old one and we praise God for both. Last night the youth group from First Baptist Church came over and bagged up several hundred bags of beans, rice and corn to be taken across the border to feed those in need, which is probably most of the people we would encounter on a daily basis. If 47 percent of people living in the U.S. need or at least receive some sort of Government assistance, what more do you think we can do to feed more people in Mexico that don't have the assistance Americans have? What if everyone that reads this blog , and I have no idea who that is, would ask God how much should I donate to feed the poor? The answer will surely come to you, I guarantee it. If giving to help the poor was Gods only way for us to prove that God exists to a lost and dying world, than how do people view our lives? People have said that I sometimes boast about the fact that everytime I step out in faith and help those in need with the resources God has given us, that we get blessed in return with more resources to help more people. I boast in the Lords goodness to provide for the work He prepared in advance for us to do. We received a dental chair last week and now are praying for a portable dental unit to do the work. They run about a thousand dollars or so and I expect God to provide. Why would we get a dental chair unless God intended for us to use it?
