Pastor Marc has started a sermon series on “Do Unto Others” based on the Golden Rule. What is the Golden Rule? It is found in Matthew 7:12, “Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them—this is the Law and the Prophets.” Some people didn’t even realize that the Golden Rule was from the Bible! Most of us were taught this in school too. So, as we strive to do for others, what does that look like during a pandemic? I’m so glad you asked. We have a wonderful opportunity to join God in His work. Would you pray about joining us?
There is a family from here in Little Elm that has been called to move to Africa and serve the people there. Their names are Jake, Ginger and Timber. Many of you know them. They took the huge step and moved to Africa over a year ago. The people that live in their area are facing a government declared national emergency. A famine, paired with this pandemic, has people of this country literally starving to death. Families don’t have resources to buy food. Some infants are even facing starvation because their nursing mothers don’t get enough nutrition to make milk for their babies.
Now is the time to “Do Unto Others”. Our friends are a part of a Food Project that is able to purchase and distribute food to the hungry in this part of Africa. We want to join them in this endeavor of meeting needs and sharing the good news. It only takes $25 to $30 a month to feed a family of five there. We would like for each family of our congregation to pray about increasing their regular tithes and offerings, from now through the end of the year, to help cover the cost of CrossRidge joining Jake and Ginger in this calling.
If your family was starving, what would you hope someone would do for you? Let us now join together as we “Do Unto Others”. Matthew 25:40 states, “And the King will answer them, ‘I assure you: Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of Mine, you did for Me.'” I can’t wait to serve my King and love others in this manner. Will you join me?
