Happy New Year's to all. I, myself am very excited for this new year and whatever God has planned for us as a Ministry.
With only 1 more week until we launch our new location for dinners, we had several volunteers prepare sacked lunches, as a team effort, to spread the word to the surrounding neighbors. In those sacks, we included a pair of new socks, a sandwich, a snack, a Bible track, and a simple flyer with a map indicating where dinner will be served on a regular schedule. I think the number was 45 sacks made.
The original plan was to get them all out on Saturday afternoon, but the sunlight was not in our favor, nor was the chilling weather conditions. Before it got too dark, we were able to pass out about 10 lunches and pray with a few people.
The rest we distributed Sunday afternoon, which was much more productive. We came back to headquarters empty handed.
It still amazes me how God orchestrates things to fall as He plans, and it never comes at a bad time. It's funny how that works....
Just this afternoon, somebody contributed a box full of socks and other clothing items for our neighbors in need.
Oh and I forgot to mention that because of our break from Pacific Beach, we've now had the opportunity to get more organized and what what inventory we have on hand as far as hygienic supplies go. That task alone is major, so having the team over to help get organized was a real blessing for us.
As I've shared with others over the past months, about the new location (being much more local)... A number of others have shown interest in participating. I think change is a good thing and I firmly believe we made the right choice in moving out of PB.
More updates as they come.
May God the Father bring forth paths in the wilderness and rivers in the deserts, just as He promised in Isaiah 43:18-19.
Amen!
