This morning I went to help my home church Mountain Park First Baptist Church, led by Jerry Counselman hand out school supplies at Willow Branch. My partners Bennett and Idong Ekandem are the directors there and I was very excited to see them!
Even though Willow Creek is not in my area, from time to time we try to help each other on projects. Its a good way to share ideas and to keep us unified in our work.
The MPFBC group did an outstanding job handing out school supplies that were collected during VBS this year. You could tell that the parents were grateful to receive them. Many of these people are immigrants from Africa and need help starting new lives. This is a way that we can help them with their expenses, while at the same time work to build relationships that may lead to sharing the Gospel.
They also provided and cooked a hot dog lunch for the kids.
It's always fun to see that people are people no matter where you go, and that everyone understands the message of love. Thanks Mountain Park for a job well done.
