So inspired by your self-less willingness to serve others. Thank you all for allowing God to use you this week to show His love to this community. As your days may be long and your conditions are probably not ideal I would like to offer you some encouragement from Romans 12:10-13 "Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality."

P.S. How much is it going to cost us to keep those videos of Brian beat-boxing off of You Tube?
Keep up the awesome work you are doing. I pray for your safety being outdoors in the heat.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I am willing to pay top dollar to see the beat box videos
