Last night we served 115 meals with the assistance of 14 volunteers. We were blessed again to have the youth from Brookwood Church come and serve. We appreciate their leader’s concern that their youth develop a desire to help the less fortunate. Many of us may take for granted our homes and families until we realize there are some that have neither. If we just spend time loving on those who don’t have those things, it will change them and us.
Another group of volunteers that come consistently each week are students from the Evangelical Institute of Greenville. They provide the music and also minister the Gospel to the homeless. They truly have a heart for the less fortunate. When Paul can not attend we can always depend on these students to continue the work of the ministry. Last Tuesday night one of the students, Lincoln, brought the message from Romans 6:10-18. It was a powerful message on sin and the need to totally surrender our lives to God through Jesus Christ. That is a message for everyone, homeless and volunteers.
Clearly, our numbers have been increasing over the last few weeks. Just 3 weeks ago we were only serving about 40 meals and now it is almost 3 times that amount. Many have theories about why the numbers vary so much, but I honestly can not figure it out. I know we constantly see new faces along with some of the regulars that come and go. Regardless, we are pleased to serve anyone and everyone. Please pray that God will always provide the resources to help these folks and that God will change their lives for eternity.
