Out of the local treasury....

Daniel just reminded me of several other projects where members and outsiders were helped out of the local treasury. He cautioned me not to post to brag about ourselves but to post it only if I truly thought it would bring GLORY TO GOD. Matt 5:16 So I post it only to encourage others to be generous in reaching out to those in need no matter where they may be living realizing that “God loves a cheerful giver.” 2Cor 9:6-7 What Paul said of the churches of Macedonia could also be said of our small congregation: “In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity.” 2Cor 8:2 I pray that what follows will encourage you to glorify our Father in Heaven today. Two mothers needing financial help when bearing a child. Two families in need of motor bikes in order to make a living $1,200 each. Money to help a widow with rent and weekly out of pocket expenses. Helping another member with monthly rent money plus food and tuition expenses for his child. Providing a water pump for another member to keep his house from flooding.
