 “I
would like to thank Mission For All Nations for the blessings of
food and prayer for me and my family. I needed a job where I could
use my LPN skills but with a bad back that was hard to find. God
has provided a job that is just what I needed. I am so thankful.
The food pantries that I have received have helped supply food
when things have been tight. They give a range of foods; meats,
dairy, bread and even fun snacks for the kids. I like volunteering
because I meet lots of neat people. I also like to see the staff
at Mission For All Nations as they help people. They all have smiles
on their faces, showing the joy of the Lord and witnessing to everyone
who steps in through the doors. They are an example to me and my
life. It makes me want to do more. Thank you!” Rachel B. |

Mission For All Nations in partnership with Trinity UMC and Food
Bank of the Heartland recently held a Mobile Food Pantry in the parking
lot at Trinity UMC. The response at
 this
event was higher than usual, with 776 individuals receiving a food
pantry. Trinity’s volunteer
crew did a wonderful job of getting everything set up and then
they had fun handing out the food. Just a couple of boxes of food
were left when the last person was done. Thank you to all who volunteered.
You were a blessing to those in need. |

| June Volunteer of the Month | |||
|
Dodji Salifou can usually be found at the
front door of the pantry greeting everyone with a smile. He not
only greets people coming in but helps seat people and hand out
forms. The most important thing that he has helped us with is
sharing the word of God with all who come to Mission For All
Nations. He has also been the main person making follow up phone
calls on all the prayer request cards that get turned in. His
love for God has touched the staff as well as those that we are
serving at each pantry. Thank You Dodji!

Please Don’t Delay: Put Love in Action Today! |
Dear Friends,
We really need hygiene items! The basic necessities like toilet paper,
tooth paste, shampoo, and deodorant can be hard for some people to
obtain. We are also still collecting items for our silent auction.
Please consider having your group put together a basket or donate an
item today!
To schedule a presentation please call our office at phone # 733-1904.
In His Service and Love,
Chelsea Hardymon
Executive Director

TEXT OF THE MONTH |
|
“In everything I did, I showed you that
by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering
the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed
to give than to receive.’”
Acts 20:35 (NIV) |
"For I was hungry, and you gave me
meat: I was thirsty, and you gave me drink:
I was a stranger, and you took me in: Naked, and
you clothed me." Matthew 25:35.
