Food Pantry

This Monday will be the start of the Gales Point Manatee Food Pantry. Thanks to a few supporters, we have received funds to start a food pantry in the village. This food pantry will allow some of the families in the village to work one hour for 2 pounds of beans and 3 pounds of rice. Shown in the picture above is 150 pounds of food, 60 pounds of beans and 90 pounds of rice. This food will cover one day of the food pantry. There is enough funding already for 8 weeks of doing the food pantry. Depending on how well the food pantry goes, it may or may not continue after I am gone at the end of November.I would very much appreciate prayers for it to go very well, this could allow some growth between the church and some of the families who don't attend. One other thing that has been going on is the men's group is going very well, we have increased from about 10 guys to about 20-25 men. A few of the men having been growing very rapidly in their relationship with the Lord. I also had a great encounter with a giant fish yesterday. Mike, Trenton, Conway, and I were fishing during a storm and i got a giant fish on my hook, i fought it for about 30 minutes, my arm becoming very tired as it drug our boat about a mile from where we left our anchor and eventually it snapped my line. So one more very important prayer request would be that i catch that fish again.
