Missions: Learning to live by faith by taking the first step

How does a person develop a passion and interest in missions?

For some of us it was part of the family we grew up in. For others, it’s conviction from the scriptures or a Spirit-given leading.  Sometimes it’s an invitation from someone to participate in a project, a fund-raising effort, a mission trip or meeting, or hearing a missionary speak.


Reality Is, it has to start somewhere. We never fully experience God in his fullness until the first step of faith is taken.  The question often is where and how do I start? If you live in Birmingham, Alabama we are big fans of Grace Klein Community. GKC seeks to create authentic community (Koinonia) by uniting diverse individuals, businesses, ministries, and churches to work together by sharing what they have in order to meet physical and spiritual needs both locally and globally.


The following numbers for 2020 showcase what only God could make possible. 

  • 2000--NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS HELPED 

  • 101,000- NUMBER OF PEOPLE HELPED 

  • $2,092,916- VALUE OF FOOD RESCUED 







So, stop living on the sidelines and jump in and touch one life at a time!

Adoption T-Shirts are now available

Adoption shirts: Below are the three shirts we are selling to help cover our travel costs to Africa.

In-state and hand delivered or the shipping option which includes a $3.00 fee.  You can use your paypal or account or send us a check.  Information is located on the right side. Why these designs: We have been CHOSEN by God, and through the sacrifice of Jesus, we have been ADOPTED into his family. We did not choose Emmanuel to join our family; God has chosen our family for Emmanuel. This process has been hard in so many ways, but NOW we can see the light and know our gift from God is months away. Thank you for joining us in this journey to bring Emmanuel home.   The deepest and strongest foundation of adoption is located not in the act of humans adopting humans, but in God adopting humans. And this act is not part of his ordinary providence

Expecting

We are expecting! The journey continues...I am fasciated how God works through his people. I am so far of where I want to be spiritually, but yet he continues to use us. Over the past year, the Lord has challenged and even confronted me with his word. The question I have been wrestling with is... do I believe it...do I believe all of it? In short, I do! I believe every single word, period, adjective, noun...to be the inspired word of God. I often hear things like man wrote it or what about dinosaurs, or this or that....Have you read it? I am convinced you will never be person God wants you to be until you believe in the power of his word. Of course man wrote it... God has always also used men as his vessel. How would you expect him to write it? It truly humbles me that he would inspire men to speak through him then as he is now. In fact, the creator writes messages to us all the time in the rainbows, clouds, rain and sunny skies. The other interesting thing is those questions how
