More Blessed



I spoke this afternoon with the dad whose family we as a church were able to help last week. He and his family are now enrolled with Monmouth County's Family Promise. His wife starts work this Thursday and he was on his way to drop off the seventh job application of the week. NMBC, you blessed this family by providing food and housing until they begin with Family Promise. While we blessed them Jesus said in Acts 20:35, we are even more blessed, "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Thank you for your generosity. I'm honored to be a part of a church family that demonstrates its love for Jesus by loving people.

As you feel led, know that your generosity to the Deacon's Fellowship Fund is used in very tangible ways to bless others. Check out Monmouth County's Family Promise website at www.http://familypromisemc.org/homelessness.html to learn more about homelessness in New Jersey. Let's continue to seek out ways our church can be used to bless families in need, in Jesus' name.
