Things are starting to get real exciting! More people are arriving from out of state, materials were delivered to our warehouse, and donations were dropped off in our office. It's going to be an incredible week of ministry and activity!
We were told yesterday that General Mills was going to stop by with a donation of two pallets of cereal. When General Mills called to confirm the delivery they mentioned that they had four pallets. When I went outside to meet Scotty, the driver, he mentioned that he had nine pallets. And when he looked inside the trailer, he found twelve pallets of cereal! We unloaded three pallets at New Covenant and took the rest to the warehouse. You can click on the photo above to see a short slide show.
On a project this size, there are many challenges to overcome. New problems spring up at every turn. But I'm praying that God will turn every challenge and problem into a blessing. And that just as our two pallets of cereal turned into twelve, our community would experience God's multiplied blessings.
2 Corinthians 9:10-15
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.
You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of God's people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.
Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, men will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else.
And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you.
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!
