So today we were able to go back to 2nd harvest food bank to pack more meals for kids, today we packed 5016. That is over 9000 in two days. That is a lot of meals.
Again the kids worked really hard and we never heard them complain at all. So if they complain about making their own lunches you can refer back their time in Nashville and the over 9000 meals they helped make.
We are growing together and learning about the word compassion a lot. Compassion is not a wimpy word to us anymore, just look at the Greek definition.
Keep praying that we will put our expectations aside so we can be CHANGED by God from the inside out. Pray the kids would really be challenged by the messages and worship that is being presented every night. Pray for Matt Wilkes as he is really praying through his messages and he told me last night, that he has pretty much thrown his manuscripts away and gone a new direction. God is really leading him, pray it will continue.
All of the kids are doing really well in less than two days we will be on the way home.
Joe

Wow, That is a lot of meals. Ashley thought helping feed our family of 7 kept her busy!!! I just want to say how proud I am of all of you. You are providing a need for children you will never really know. Your hearts are soft, your additudes positive and your love for Christ beaming thru your work and smiles. I thank God for all you. Have a great day and I look forward to hearing all your stories.
It sounds like God is doing some great stuff in people's hearts and through you working to meet the real, physical needs of many. May you have "guts" of compassion! You are gutsy people! (In the Greek sense, of course).
