Facebook family, today has been a lonnnnnng but PRODUCTIVE day! We had such an AWESOME time serving the community this morning through our monthly free clothing giveaway. I find some of the most fulfilling times of ministry to be when we are out in the community (AWAY from the microphone and platform) sharing the love of JESUS with the people! Today we served various races, genders, ethnic backgrounds, various cultures and it was truly a humbling time of ministry. There is just something about SEEING the VERY HAND OF GOD at work right before your eyes! Some were out of church (for various reasons) and expressed their desire to return to Christ and THIS, people of God, is what MINISTRY is TRULY about....lifting up JESUS so that others may be drawn UNTO HIM! I was amazed and grateful at the opportunity to serve! Once we completed our time of service through the giveaway, I was then stretched to come out of my comfort zone and film a segment for a POWERFUL documentary that will be coming out early next year (2015) that you all will be hearing about once they officially complete it and announce it. I believe that it will be a TREMENDOUS blessing to the body of Christ! I then left there headed home and wasnt home but about an hour before I received ANOTHER call of distress from someone and had to leave home again. I was required to travel about 1 hour and 15 minutes from my home (one way) to tend to the matter and I am JUST NOW making it back home (about 20 minutes ago.) Needless to say, I am exhausted AND I yet have to prepare for worship service in the morning. As I ALWAYS say, ministry is a SACRIFICE and it has absolutely NOTHING to do with our being convenient. One of the problems we (in ministry) have throughout the body of Christ is that we desire GOD to sacrifice for US but we short Him continuously on sacrificing for HIM! Nevertheless, as tired as I am, today has yet been a GOOD day and a PRODUCTIVE day! I thank GOD for a mind to work and a willingness to serve! To HIM ALONE be all the glory NOW and FOREVER! Time to rest and meditate....... (A special THANK YOU to Greater Is He Outreach Ministry Director, Minister Sherrie Ransom, for her unselfish service, continued dedication and support to the oversight of our outreach ministry to ensure that it REMAINS an EFFECTIVE and PERMANENT part of United Nations International Worship Center that will continually serve our community! We are grateful to GOD for her!)
