Hope & Faith

We want to make a difference in the world around us one act of kindness at a time. You just never know what one small act of anonymous service could do for someone’s day or week, and if that person passes it on, one seed CAN yield a harvest. Sometimes people think you have to give someone thousands of dollars or pay off their mortgage to help them, when in fact, a simple cup of coffee, or a hamburger for lunch could really change someone’s trajectory. ONE SMALL ACT AT TIME. Without any pressure, no exchange of name, no draging them to church, just a small act then the card left behind says it all. They will have no other option than to think about it, no matter where they are in their walk.

Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil."-Jeremiah 13:23 "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."-1 Corinthians 10:31 "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.

He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished"-Romans 3:23-25
