Busy, Busy, Busy...

Man,  Cowboy Fellowship, you guys have been busy.  I was just looking over the ACTS map in the back of the church and all that you guys have done in just the first 25 days of 2011, it really is AMAZING!  Below are just a few of the things that one team in our church has been up to.  I would encourage you to "like" the Matthew 25:35 Facebook page if you have not done so already to stay up to date with all they are doing. 

1. HOUSE FIRE - Last week we were able to help a family who had lost everything that they had  when their house burned down. Due to your generosity and your allowing God to work through you we were able to provide clothing for the two little boys and the husband who works a full time job but didn't have the means to replace the clothes that they lost. We were able to get all three of them a couple of new changes of clothes and underwear. The family is currently divided between two relatives homes where they are staying until new housing can be obtained for the family of four.
2. Matthew 25:35 Team Delivering Heaters and Five Blankets to a Freezing Family Near Charlotte. Thank you for your Stuff the Basket Donations in December.
3. The handicapped ramp and porch for The Refuge Pregnancy Care Center is now 95% complete. Thanks so much for those of you who helped and a special thanks to John Brymer of Community Bible Church who helped us on this project. He and his wife are driven to save the lives of unborn children.

The Church At Work

We are only six days into the new year and already our Acts map is filling up with dots.  Each dot represents a ministry or mission that Cowboy Fellowship is involved with.  While our involvement in so many areas is not new, the ability to visualize all the church does, is.  I had a minute before coming into the office today to stop by The Refuge, which is a ministry our church has been involved with from its inception years ago.  This organization reaches out primarily to teens who are pregnant. They equip them and help build their parenting skills and confidence prior to the birth of their child.  Today members of Cowboy Fellowship and Community Bible Chapel are hard at work at the Refuge doing exterior work to their new building.  It is a blessing to see churches working together to expand the Kingdom! 

John 5:17 NIV Jesus said to them, “My Father is always at his work to this very day, and I, too, am working.”
