I recently heard a marvelous story.  A little 6 year old girl was in a drawing lesson.  She was in the back of the room.  She hardly ever paid attention in class but was doing so this time.  The teacher was fascinated and walked over to her and asked, “What are you drawing?”  And the girl said, “I’m drawing a picture of God.”  The teacher said, “But nobody knows what God looks like!”  To which the girl replied, “They will in a minute!”

I want to be the first to thank the Lord for what He is going to do. In March of 2010, the Lord burdened me to fulfill a call on my life to be a conduit to help the needy in the body of Christ. I wrote an article, but got no response.

As America’s economic woes continue and worsen in the coming days, the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ will be in a unique position to make a difference in the lives of so many hurting people. When everything shakes, only the real remains immovable! Throughout history, our Lord’s Ekklesia has risen to the challenges when everything else has failed. It’s time again to take advantage of the situation around us and storm the gates of Hell.

Lately our heart has been really burdened for the needs of the NE Florida community. Everyday we hear of elderly people going without heat and families struggling to make ends meet. The church in Jacksonville has for the most part relegated the needs of the poor to governmental agencies and nonprofits. We have lost our heart. We have failed in our compassion.
