A Little Help From My Friends

This past week marked the 30th anniversary of John Lennon's death.  In honor of Lennon & the Beatles, I've attached a link to one of their greatest hits -

With a Little Help From My Friends

The Beatles: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison & Ringo Starr

The Beatles were right.  We could all use a little help from our friends.















The New Life Prison Church has received help from its friends.  Here are two good examples.

Marv Visser of Holland Special Delivery has offered to move all our stuff from Zeeland, Michigan to Pella, Iowa.  We're packing up the Semi-trailer on December 28.  Then Marv is driving the truck out to Iowa on December 29.  He's only charging us for gas and mileage.  That will save the new ministry lots of $$.

Vermeer Charitable Foundation said yes to my grant proposal.  Vermeer has given a lot of money to various charities, demonstrating a generous spirit.  Vermeer already sent us the check to be used by the new prison congregation.  The money will be used for Bibles, Bible study materials and website development.

The key verse cited on the Vermeer Charitable Foundation web site is II Corinthians 8:7 ~ "But since you excel in everything - in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you - see that you also excel in 
this grace of giving."

I know that New Life Prison Church will make good use of these gracious gifts.  Praise God for the generosity of my friends.  And praise God for the Christian Community, which is united by our faith in Jesus Christ.
