“Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” - Luke 3:11
Pabama: (Rhymes with Alabama) Def: A feeling that there is more. A desire to make a difference, to be the hands and feet of Jesus. Not willing to accept the current state of the world, and not wishing to point any fingers. The burning desire to improve, to fall and fail, to be picked up and try again. To prepare ourselves for eternity. To stand triumphant one day, only through Jesus, and hear, "Well done, my good and faithful servant."

What Smells?

Well, Coopersville Pabama is in full swing!  Last week, 3 members of the Coopersville Pabama Branch (the CPB), with financial assistance from a fourth member, went out right after school on a Pabama run.  The gist of it:  6th grade student has ADHD medicine stolen from him from older brothers to sell on the streets.  Police look into it, along with other complaints from the house.  Child Protective Services actually takes the student and older sister out if house THE SAME DAY they get Pabamad.  Student is now living with dad, with no meds, not sure of if/when he will go back to mom or possibly moving to a different school.  Very sad situation all around.  But the mom did find a bag with a gift card to Family Fare, as well as a gift card to the Admiral gas station.  Praying that they acknowledge God's love and presence.  Nice work boys! - Hunter, Jake, and Doug.
Jake, in a good mood.

And what would a Pabama run be without Sternberg getting lost (thanks a lot Hunter!).  But it did give us a chance to say hi to Bessie.  Finally got that "mud" off my car.

Praying for this student, and this family . . . .
So many hard stories like this. Luke 10:2 - 'He told them, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field.'
