(how cool is He)
HE IS SO COOL that He provides for EVERYONE in the entire world. Like Me, my parents, You, My best friend, your best friend, and the People of Costa Rica! What?! How crazy is that! He is always thinking about us at every moment of the day. Even when it seems like you've come to the end, He's like "Nope, not on my watch!"
This past week has been full of God moments. And yes, every moment is a God moment. BUT this week in particular has been really awesome and full of opportunities to spread His name. Here at 6:8 Ministries, we set up feeding centers throughout the week for the locals. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, the local Church opens it's doors for homeless Men and Women to come off of the street and eat a hot, homemade meal. During each of these meals, they are provided with something that far surpasses food... The Gospel. YES! Men and Women who are near the end, who have nothing to their name but the clothes on their back (and sometimes not even those), get to hear the Good News!
Put yourself in their shoes real quick... All day, you've been ignored, passed by, hated, and looked down on by the world. You smell and are really really dirty. You've heard of this Church that provides a meal that you haven't had in a few weeks and, of course, you're going to go. So when you show up, You're embraced by loving people, recognized by everyone who greets you... "Hola ________! How have you been! We've missed you!"... You're given a bowl of beans and rice, some sort of soup with potatoes and green beans, and tea! WHAT! And then, while you're eating, JESUS ENTERS THE ROOM! His presence is so evident, there's a preacher up on stage talking about His UNFAILING love! His NEVER ENDING GRACE! His Open Arms!... "He loves YOU, _______. He is waiting for YOU!"
That's every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. GOD, not me, but GOD provides EVERYTHING for these men and women. Through people donating food down here and people back in the states donating money for feeding centers, Men and Women/ People/ Human Beings/ Children of God get to eat, sit, be loved, and HEAR THE GOSPEL of Jesus Christ.
Then, each Saturday, we set up a mobile feeding center in an area called Verbena. This feeding center is unique because Kids come and get the same meal and Gospel as the People who come to the church!
THIS HAPPENS because of God's love for these people. He Provides! He Provides Love, Affection, Food, and Salvation for the Least, the Last, and the Lost. Praise Him from who all blessings flow. Praise Him for this unending Love and this relentless Grace.
If YOU feel led to donate and fund me or the feeding centers or the ministry in general, You can do that. Visit our website at 68ministries.org and donate there or find the address to mail it! Just be sure to put "My name or Feeding Centers or General" in the comments section!
so...... GOD IS SO COOL!!! I mean He's driven me down here, out of my comfort zone, away from my friends and family, and YET HE HAS NEVER STOPPED PROVIDING!
Give the Lord a hand clap where you are right now... No really...
Praise Him! In Christ,
