Fish Fry in the park for the needy today...(Sumter, S.C.)



Today we joined with a few other ministries here in Sumter S.C for the second annual fish fry in the park for the homeless and needy. We all had a grand time.  We fed about 200 folks. Two preachers brought the word of God, Salvation came to many people today. We also gave away 95 Winter Coats, 110 Pairs of socks, 60 stocking hats, 60 winter gloves and 10 sets of Thermals.  Praise God Indeed !



There was a point today when we were giving away the coats when the crowd surged forward to to try to get a coat .We could feel the desperation in the group. We could feel it! There was a real fear that someone would have to leave there still cold, But God provided for them all!!  Right there and right then !!

and Henry got a new 3xl winter coat and some fried fish



 At one point this precious little boy (See Top Photo )  tugged on my shirt and said..."Do you have a coat with my size"...It was not so much the words that he said ..It was the pleading look in his eyes. I almost lost my composure. Indeed we did have what he needed and a stuffed bear for him as well!!  In fact all of the kids got a stuffed animal.


We just want to say a heartfelt thank you to all of the fine compassionate people that came out today to show the love of God in deed and word .Our prayer is that God will richly bless you in all of your endeavours.

and the Preacher preached!

Tonight as we close this story, our thoughts and prayers are with and for the folks we met in the park today. We pray that God would reach to them all,  and that they , in turn would reach out to God ,that their needs would be met and life would get easier for them all.

Our prayer is also for all who read this...That God would reach to you and you would reach God tonight. That God himself would give you compassion and love enough that the next time you see the pleading in a young child's eyes or feel the desperation of a person in your view ,that you would boldly step to them and meet their need. Live the love of God in deed and word.

1Corenth 13: 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
