On Sunday after the church service we handed out all 100 Manna! That's Good Bread packages. There were people even asking for more packages after they were all gone. I have to think that is a good sign. Once people had the Manna! package in their hands it was all up to them to deliver and share Jesus Christ with their neighbor's, family, co-workers or who ever else they felt lead to give it to.
I know the distribution of these packages can lead to some very amazing encounters. For example, last year there were stories of people receiving the freshly baked bread with much joy and some even wept over the fact that someone thought enough of them to give them the package. For me, when I handed a package out last year it lead to an opportunity to give a clear gospel presentation to my next door neighbor which was a couple of weeks after the package was given to them.
This year, when I handed my three packages out, all who received one did so with great joy and appreciation. I even verbally invited each person to our churches Easter service understanding they may not be able to come and they were still apprecative of the package. One package I handed out actually started to lead to deeper things where I was able to mention I have been praying for this particular family due to some very hard issues they are dealing with.
Now, this was just the beginning and I'm very exited to see how God contiues to work with and through this project.
