THEY WILL KNOW WE ARE CHRISTIANS BY OUR LOVE. We are working with Shoebox Ministries to restore dignity to the homeless. For the month of February we are still collecting personal hygiene items. The collection box is located at the front of the sanctuary. See the pamphlet by the box for more ideas about what you can donate. If you have items and you are driving past LMF just leave them on the front porch and Pastor Dean will bring them inside and place them in the box. When you have done it unto the least of these, you have done it unto me. Matthew 25:40
Hard times are an opportunity for the Body of Christ to reach out and help those in need. Hurting people need our prayers and our help. As the year 2010 unfolds let us continue to bring the love of Jesus to those in need. No gift is to small. A pair of socks to a man who has none is a great blessing. A meal to a mother and child who have not eaten all day is an answer to a cry to God for help. A pair of shoes, a new shirt and pants may open an opportunity to apply for a job to get back on their feet.
April 4th Easter Sunday Come early for a great breakfast followed by informal worship & our regular service to follow. Jesus is risen; yes, risen indeed!
MISSIONARY UPDATE:
01/24/10 God has been answering many prayers for this ministry. We would like to include the details but anonymity insures that our brother's identity will not be revealed as there are those that would seek to do bodily harm to those who identify themselves with Jesus. Pray for those people too. God's desire is for all to return to Him through His Son. Remember we are all His creation. We have all sinned and have fallen short of the glory of God. Romans 5:12-20
12/01/09 Please pray for our brother. He and his family are missionaries who live and serve in a restricted access country. That alone is a challenge since a majority of the population of that country is Muslim and many are openly hostile to Christians. That hatred includes harassment, beatings and murder just for identifying yourself as a Christian.
Here are some other prayer needs for our brothers and sisters in that land: Pray for opportunities for Christians in this land to share the truth of who Jesus is with those around them. Pray that local officials will stop harassing Christians. Pray that all those who are lost will have the opportunity to hear the truth about the only one who can save, the only one who could say; "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 14:5-7
