A different work team headed back to Of One Accord again today. Part of the group sorted more linens while another part worked in the basement in the food pantry sorting lots and lots of toilet paper! Lots of laughter over the "treasures" found in the piles of clothing and linens. It's a hot day, muggy day in Tennessee today. The people from the surrounding communities come to this facility to receive help. They have such little hope. It is written on their faces. Sometimes you get the opportunity to sit with them while they are waiting for their appointment and talk to them, encourage them, and share with them the hope we have in Christ. It breaks your heart to see the cycle of poverty they are trapped in here. There are few jobs in the area. This ministry is often their last hope. Yesterday we came in contact with a couple and a baby. They had run out of formula and diapers for their baby a few days ago. The baby had a plastic bag on as a diaper. Another mother brought in her three children for their only meal they would receive for the day. Another, older man, hadn't eaten for two days. He received some food. It tugs on your heartstrings. You find yourself in constant prayer when at the ministry facility. Praying for each person you come across. There are three other teams out today at other job sites today. More on their adventures to come.
