February 2010 Angel Food Distribution and News

We have truly been blessed here at FBC-St. Joseph in regards to the ministry of Angel Food. It has blessed us in three outstanding ways. The first way is through the obedience of God’s Word! We know that God has called His Church the “Body of Christ” to feed those who are hungry, give drink to the thirsty and clothing to the naked. Angel Food has been the platform that the Lord has used for us to fulfill His purpose for us in regard to this command from our Lord. (Matthew 25:31-46)

Secondly, we have been blessed by having the opportunity to get food to individuals and families that have been struggling financially as all of us have encountered in some shape and form from the rippling effects of our staggering economy. In the winds of a recessionary period this is a food program that truly lightens the financial burden of the cost of groceries without compromising the quality of what you are accustomed to eating. What a blessing!

Lastly, this has been a ministry that has brought our dynamic and very diverse “Body of Believers” together as one “Family” to collectively carry out the work of the Lord in regards to feeding people. Men and women, college students, teenagers and even children have continued to donate their time to the ministry effort. To date, our Angel Food Ministry is one of the largest and most productive ministries in our fellowship. God is allowing us to touch His Heart and touch the lives of those living around us “one box at a time!” Angel Food offers a variety of balanced nutritional food to feed a family of four for about one week for $30.00. Angel Food also offers variety of other boxes of fruit and vegetables, allergen-free boxes, convenience meal boxes, and meat boxes of all varieties.

Please pray for us in the days to come as the Lord has laid on our hearts to endeavor to reach out farther into the surrounding counties in the days and weeks to come. For example: (Lauderdale Co. in Al., and Wayne Co. in Tn.)

This extension of our ministry will include cities like: Lexington, Greenhill, Killen, and Florence in Al., and Iron City, Collinwood, Holly Creek, and Waynesboro in Tn.
