During the 2014 annual meeting of the Alabama Baptist State Convention, The Alabama Baptist handed out dollar bills at its display booth. Messengers were challenged to “Be a Blessing” — to take a dollar and touch a life. The results continue to surface. Below is a personal story of how the dollar was used to bless someone’s life.
I waited for February (to use my dollar). Our church is a big supporter of Disaster Relief (DR) ministries in Morgan County and Alabama, and Feb. 22 [was] our annual Disaster Relief offering. We encouraged our membership to each give $2 on this Sunday ($1 to support DR work in Alabama and $1 to support DR work in Decatur and Morgan County). So I gave my dollar (along with another) on this Sunday to support the great work of DR ministries in Alabama. These faithful volunteers are the hands and feet of Christ during crucial moments of ministry and a tremendous blessing to many in our community and state.
