Giving is Gods method not only to work in the lives of those being given to, but also in the life of the giver. Something happens when we give of ourselves and our finances to those in need. A few weeks before school started back up, East Coast was challenged to give in many ways. There were various needs that had to be met…
- For 5 weeks, kids needed to be served lunches at the Joe James Center
- 50 Students at that center needed backpacks & school supplies
- 25 of those children were in need of new clothes for school
- 50 more students at duPont Middle School needed backpacks & school supplies
- 75 teachers at duPont were in need of some supplies
East Coast, because of your generosity, we were able to meet those needs and build a bridge with those in Jacksonville. You gave 100 backpacks, helped 75 teachers with needed supplies, served children lunches, and when a need for new school clothes was made aware, you stepped up. Twenty four hours after we made that need known, every family was accounted for!
Our vision is two fold: to build a bridge and bring a voice. We want to serve Jacksonville and share the gospel. After multiple weeks of bringing the students at the Joe James center lunch and providing them with school supplies, we were able to share the hope of the gospel with them. It was all worth it when a kid named Atrayu asked Christ to forgive him of his sin and to be his Savior.
East Coast, Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for your giving spirit. Over the past two years, when you’ve seen a need, you have done whats necessary to fill it. Thank you for doing whatever it takes to accomplish both sides of the vision!
Thanks for investing in things that matter!
