A Cup of Water in Jesus' Name
by Rod Kelley
Jill called a church today because she needed help, and lots of it. She asked for money to buy some new tires to keep her family safe. She asked for food for her children since she does not qualify for food stamps. One of her daughters is in foster care, so Jill asked if someone could help her understand the legal process of getting her daughter returned. Jill has been unemployed for several months despite many attempts to find work. A GED certificate would qualify her for a better job, and again she asked if someone could help her with obtaining a GED.
God knows Jill and He loves Jill, and He wants Jill to become acquainted with His Son. God wants to use this pain in Jill's life for His good, so He providentially plants a church in Jill's community. The name of the church is Community Bible Church, but it's really more of a philosophy than a name: community.
Jill is not a real person. Rather, she is a composite of the many needs that our Alms & Legs Ministry has been called upon to meet in our community. Because of your generosity and willingness to help others, we have been able to show the love of Christ in very practical ways in our community and schools. Would you like to be an eyewitness to God's next incredible act of mercy? Then come and join us on the A & L team! We have been waiting for you. |
