100,000 MEALS - DONE!

100,000 meals – done!

THANK YOU! This could not have been done without you.

It was a great day – As approximately 400 volunteers come together Saturday, March 27 at the University of Redlands from 8 am to 5 pm and packaged 100,000 + meals. You were an encouragement to us and we don’t know how to thank you.

It was an inspiring day - To see so many people standing side by side putting these food packages together. People who don’t know each other sharing their stories as they scooped and packed these life saving little bags.

It was a blessed day - As musician after musician came to share and worship with music, the volunteers were blessed as they worshiped by serving with their hands. Prayer went up for those who came who don’t know the Lord and a spirit of encouragement and love seem to be poured out in that place during the entire day.

It was a long day - For many of the volunteers who were there from before 7am to set up and then running food and supplies to the tables all day, we pray that God blesses your souls and restores your strength. We know this was a long, hard day for many of you.

(Those of you, you know who you are – we can’t begin to express our appreciation and we know God is going to bless you for the effort you put into this work. We have, and will continue to pray for all of you. We especially thank you and we pray that you accept our sincere apology for not having enough help to relieve you during the day. We know how very hard you worked.)

The implications of last Saturday are going to be felt and seen for a long time here and in Africa, and yet we may never know what they are. No matter, because this is not our work, it is His. He said, “…inasmuch as you did it to the least of these My brothers and sisters, you did it to Me. Matthew 25:40.

Thank you and God bless you!

  1. Thank you! And thank the LORD for the outpouring of willing hearts. It was fun and a blessing to be able to a part in knowing the hungry are being fed.

    God bless you all!
