Awaken The Bride Day 2 - Part 2

She opens her arms to the poor and extends her hands to the needy Proverbs 31:20
This afternoon many of the students headed over to our food pantry to help Ken and the team with a HUGE outreach. They gave away two bags of food and a case a water to 523 families. After the outreach the students then helped stock the shelves and sort the food. What a huge blessing this was.The pantry was blessed a week or so ago with an abundance of food that the Lord provided. Today we were able to bless 523 families with a large amount of food and water.
We still have TONS of food left that needs to be sorted and shelved. It seems to go on forever . . .I sometimes think the Lord is multiplying it right before our eyes.
It was great to have the help of the students. It was so neat to watch them all in action. It made my heart melt to watch them sow the seed of "their time" for the sake of the needy.
The love and passion each student had as the sorted through the huge piles of food was contagious.
Thanks IHOP Forerunner Music Academy students for making a difference in the lives of others.
And thank you to the other volunteers that helped out that were from our missions base.

I've seen you mention your "missions base" a couple of times today. What is that?
