“Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? Or when did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me.’ – Matthew 25:37-40
Last Wednesday Modesto Pregnancy Center let their supporters know that they were out of size 5 diapers. Then on Friday they let us know they were out of wipes as well! Their parenting classes are full of new moms and their babies are growing fast!!
I sent out the text to let you all know about the need and to those the Lord prompted to respond, thank you for your thoughtful donations of size 5 diapers and wipes! (There were so many boxes of diapers and wipes, I wasn’t sure it would all fit into my vehicle, but God fit them all in there!!)
It’s a privilege to be a part of the Lord’s work as He pours out His love upon moms in need in our community.
The staff at MPC were blessed and God was glorified! (You can see their video giving God the glory for all the supplies below.)
Thank you to each who has answered the call to bring meals to the White Family this month. They are so grateful.
Not everyone is gifted for meal delivery, but for those of you on our Helps Team who are, when God calls and you respond, the Lord is blessed and the White Family receives His love lavished upon them!
For our team to take care of this daily chore, allows them to spend that time (otherwise spent planning or shopping or preparing) focusing on and caring for their family and gives them some ‘extra’ time to choose to spend as they wish.
For a families with a child who has a rare condition such as Lissencephaly (as Eliza does), Eliza requires constant care. It is a great privilege to come alongside them and give them this additional support.
They see God’s hand in the provision of each meal you bring and they are so very grateful and give Him all the glory!
What does our Helps Team do?
The Embrace Life Helps Team is a vital part of elevating the issue of the sanctity of life as a matter of righteousness among those in our body and beyond.
Every time we send out a need to our Helps Team, the Lord prompts those He has called for that need to respond.
Whether it’s to:
-
assist our Embrace Life Mentors as they minister to single moms in need (riding along as we give transportation, bringing meals to moms with newborns, or helping with a baby shower), or
-
to come alongside a family in our body who has a child facing great need (providing meals and encouragement), or
-
to fulfill the need in the greater community as we come alongside Modesto Pregnancy Center to equip them more fully to minister to moms and families in our community,
