We may never see the faces of those who received food from our associational food pantry. We may never see the twinkle in the eyes of the child who receives the only gift they get at Christmas from the associational gift shop. We may never see the tears of joy fall from the eyes of the one burned out by a house fire who has obtained clothing, furniture and household supplies from the gifts of our contributing churches, but God sees it all and He records it.”
Page Hughes of Westwood Baptist Church, Alabaster, wrote these words as she gathered facts and figures for Mitzi Holladay, chairman of the Christian Life Commission, to present to Alabama Baptist messengers Nov. 17.
Hughes was one of eight people working with ministries that receive World Hunger funds who provided information about what was happening in their areas.
“Great work is being done through 20 ministry centers and associations that … receive World Hunger funds,” Holladay said as she described various work and ministries in Abbeville, Albertville, Arab, Birmingham, Boaz, Gadsden and Montgomery.
“We also have two others that raise their own support to help others,” she said. “We as a commission hope these testimonies inspire all of us as churches and individuals to address moral issues, to become informed and to act according to Christian principles.”
