Bless to be a blessing

Going to our 3rd day of ministry we have been a blessing to be able to share with this amazing church and pastor!   Working with cement can be hard, but the passion that the team has put into the work is bigger than the difficulties. Let’s keep going!

Those 3 P’s were the words that Pastor Luke said in the service on Sunday,  wanting those words to be live within us; and that those words can be reflected in the work that we are doing!

Matthew 25:35-40 NKJV 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in; 36 I was naked and you clothed Me; I was sick and you visited Me; I was in prison and you came to Me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40 And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’
