These were the words of a community person who witnessed the church providing brotherhood to a local family. The family needed a new home desperately. Partnering with MNM allowed the church to begin building a new home for this poor family.
What a witness to the community! A church reaching out to help the less fortunate among them. When there is a need, it is not enough to say, “be warmed and filled.” It takes a faith that works. That says, “I will help provide for you because I have been given much.”
“By this will all men know that you are my disciples, if you love one another.” God wants to show others his great love through his people showing love to each other. In a previous post, I asked if anyone would be willing to help sponsor this home. God answered our prayers and we got exactly the $3,000 we needed to make this possible. And God is already using this to open the community’s eyes to his love.
On Saturday, the members of Jean’s congregation started by carrying sand from a creek bank to the location of the house. With sweat pouring from their foreheads, a neighbor stops them and says, “there is nothing better than to be a Christian.” He recognized the tremendous gift it is to have brotherhood.
Jean plans to have the house finished in April. Thank you so much to our generous donors. May God richly bless you!
