To the Least of These

Thoughts, Prayers and Words of Encouragement: Last evening SOAR sponsored a "Back to School Bash" We had prepared for 150-200 people, our normal "Sunday Supper" attendance. Our activities begin around 5PM, by 4:30PM we realized this was going to be a special Sunday. A church in Jackson MS had donated $1000k for school supplies, but 6:00PM we had distributed all that we had. An estimated 300 people attended the event.....so why am I writing.....well the youth from St. Rose church helped with the event. They served food, help pass out school supplies and ice cream. When we ran out of school supplies, a couple of the youth came over, all of them in varying stages of recovery from Katrina, said "These people are really in need, I gave them my school supplies"

The next amazing thing, we realized quickly that our supply of food would not be enough....so PRAY BREAD AND FISHES....and WOW God supplied, it was so cool to watch how the 2 cases of ribs fed EVERYONE with left overs. One small pan of Potato salad and one small pan of Macaroni salad....FED EVERYONE.....People were watching, then we told them there was food for seconds....EVERYONE KNEW JESUS WAS IN THE HOUSE.....GO GOD

HOW HAPPY THE HEART OF JESUS.....here are the world changers, YOUTH...willing to think of other more than themselves, giving sacrificially, serving others and recognizing the need to care for the poor.

LORD MAY THEY LEAD US ALL AND MAY WE FOLLOW IN OUR DAILY LIVES TO LIVE BY FAITH, TO BE OBEDIENT TO GIVE SACRIFICIALLY
