Greetings Saints in His Perfect Peace,
You know we see new faces everytime we open. Today we had a woman and her 5 or 6 year old come in. They had just moved to Wichita from Salina. They enjoyed the Mission and we did have some food on hand to send home with them. from what I understand most foodbanks and feeding ministries in Wichita are hurting. The Lord is providing for us and I know we are supposed to be here. The New place is bigger... but just as I thought the bigger we get the more people....The needs are so great!
Someone has to care for the poor. I just do not understand why so many ignore their own neighbors...to a Christian it should be way up on their lists. I heard today how one Church is headed to Mexico to build houses for the poor there..That is a good thing...they do it once a year. But what about the people right here. I hurt so much for them..
On man's wife came back in and told be that I was right her husband is a diabetic..and the doctors say he will die without a kidney transplant...You see the Lord has had me in many different callings or gifts of the spirit but I think the Pastor calling is the hardest. You hurt when the people hurt and in what I do there is so much pain. I know most cannot understand it but I hurt really hurt and feel their pain. That is what real pastor's do...
I know we opened with 40 or more I gave up on counting as they are all in and out...The big print Bibles are over half gone and they cannot believe that they were so blessed with them! One went wow I can really read this!!!!!!!!!!!
You know no matter what we keep on going.
Still trying to get things done for the new kitchen.. I need someone to install or help me install a exhaust fan..I have not bought it yet as it runs about $65 but we really need it...
I have very weak breakers at the Mission. They are very old. I need some new ones in fact went driving around tonight to find some and no one seems to carry the old Federal brand, at least not at Lowes or Home Depot....Pray I find some these need done before thanksgiving...
So many people will come as they come for the family love. We really still need support for this. I have to get the fan and breakers fixed and we need food account money or food donations...
I really need to make a special trip to town to fix the breakers but that costs...Oh well I give it all to the Lord!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
But this Thanksgiving when you are having all your favorite foods...consider the poor...everywhere not just in Wichita.....In a big city...think who just might be living under that bridge you just passed over.....
Luke 14:15
15
And when one of them that sat at meat with him heard these things, he said unto him, Blessed
is he that shall eat bread in the kingdom of God.
16Then said he unto him,
A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: 17And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. 18And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. 19And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. 20And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. 21So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. 22And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. 23And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. 24For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper. The FATHER bless thee and keep thee;
The FATHER make His face shine upon thee,
and be gracious unto thee;
The FATHER lift up his countenance upon thee,
and give thee shalom. (peace)
