AN EXCITING DAY FOR AT THE CROSS

Dear Fellow Workers in Christ,

Today was just unbelievable! And yet--not really given I have seen God do BIG things over and over and over again! We served 37 or 38 I think today at our food pantry--and served over at least 50 or 60 with all their family members for our luncheon we served today for those coming to our food pantry! It was so wonderful! Some sisters from Highland Oaks Church of Christ provided a bunch of coats/jackets for adults and kids, as well as a bunch of food, a shepherd from Saturn Road Church of Christ provided a BBQ brisket, a sister from our congregation did a bunch of cooking this morning, and with several other volunteers from HIghland Oaks--and it was just beautiful! You could feel so much Jesus love in the air!

I cannot express how wonderful it felt to see so many people--many who are really hurting and struggling to just survive--and many children--so full of hope today! I saw smiles from people who probably are not smiling a lot. Several older hispanic women who have so little--really there were all colors and shapes and sizes of people--and all were seeing how good Jesus is!

Such days I have experienced in ministry--nothing else can top them! So much more to do! Please be in prayer for the Lord to continue to provide the funds we need to keep the work going in Mesquite! Merry Christmas everyone!

Grace and Peace,
Bruce
