Hope everyone had a good Christmas. As you know we were involved in a feeding ministry in the New Orleans during Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Jerry Carson, Dan Rocha and several others went down - took food, clothes, toys, stuffed animals, gifts etc. They had 300 pounds of cooked pork loin when they left here. Potato salad, bake beans, and apple crunch completed the meal served to 800+ people at three locations. People were fed and given Christmas presents in the 9th ward, St Bernard Parrish, and on the river bank. They were all witnessed to about Jesus and given the opportunity for salvation. Many of the 800+ were children that went to bed with a full stomach and a Christmas present that might not have had that chance otherwise. What a combination, fill his stomach then feed his soul. It really doesn't matter whether it's in New Orleans or Central America; where ever we go we try to give people Hope, to have hope you have to have faith. With no Faith there is no Hope.

Remember what God's word says about you and the victory that HE has planned for you. When the enemy tells you that you're not strong enough to survive the pressures of this world, remember God's Word says "greater is He that is in you that he that is in the world." ( 1 John 4:4)

God is good , Happy Holiday, Don W.
