 Food Drop 2011

 

The goal of this project is to “be”  the hands and feet of Christ to nearly 3,000 families in need throughout the Greater Lansing Area. As we deliver food boxes, we’ll offer a prayer of blessing in a gentle and respectful way and leave and invitation to visit one of the participating churches. We trust that people will see God’s love working through us and He will open up opportunities s to tell them about Christ.  Let’s put our “Love in Action!” and see what God does through us this year.
