"Bag of Hope"

 

The Gospel Hiway wants you to get involved with those that maybe less fortunate. When the Holiday's come around we have no problem helping those that are in need. We give a little extra at church, help out at a community Thanksgiving or Christmas meal but, what about the rest of the year? When you see someone holding a sign on a street corner do you automatically want to question their integrity towards their situation? Or do you really feel convicted to help them but, you think if I gave them money they probably would use it for something besides food.
There's a way to help without having that feeling of guilt. God says to help when help is needed and not to judge others especially when we really don't know their circumstances.
Proverbs 3:27 tells us to "do good to those who need it".

Be a silent witness for Christ.

Here's How You Can Be a
"Bag of Hope"

Put some non perishable food items in a lunch sack like...

Peanut butter & crackers
Cups of mixed fruit (don't forget the plastic spoon)
Vienna sausage
Bottled water
etc.

Put the things you think others would want, and be creative. You might want to put a travel bar of soap or other toiletries in as well.

Once you have the lunch sacks ready, present one to a person that is on a street corner or some where you may encounter them each day. This may be while driving to and from work. This way you know that you did your part in helping that person out that may have gone without other wise.

Please Note : Try to keep only one or two in your car at a time due to the extreme heat during the day. It's a good idea to bring them into the office with you so that the items wont spoil.

       Moving believers to action. That's what it's all about.
