Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive

In conjunction with this project, we will be having a Food Drive at the church. 7 year old Caleb Knights has felt the call of God on his life and has agreed to head up and coordinate the food drive. 1st - 4th grade children will be helping him with this. Support the children by bringing food donations to the Children's Dept. and Missions Room.

"For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself." Acts 2:39

Missions Testimony

From Carol Wood:

My son (Justin) and his friend John have been going out on Wednesday evenings to Old Settler's Park in East McKinney. First they go to the homes and invite people to come eat & hear a word of God. They have been doing this for three weeks now.

The first week they had about 40 people, the second about 35 people and this week there were at least 80. It was awesome!!! Next week we are going to do a bible lesson for the kids since there were so many. We have also been telling these people about the upcoming picnic and many of them came to the last one and are excited about the next one.

Two women came up after the sermon and asked for prayer. I believe more will come forward as time goes on. One young man (19yrs) gave his life to Christ and is going to be baptized.

There was a huge mix of people coming out to eat, fellowship and hear Gods word. Several who came out were families, moms, dads & their kids. We really tried to talk to them and engage them in conversation and they were receptive. It was such a beautiful to see all these people gather around at the end and hold hands to pray. I am sure the heavens were rejoicing.
