Wow! THAT was fun!
I just came from A Queen's Banquet put on by Stepping Out Ministries where I served as a counselor. After an amazing worship service, the women attending were treated to haircuts, manicures, facials, make-up, clothing, goodie bags and lunch - all for free! All targeted to low income women!
Additionally, service agencies set up displays and passed out information.
We're talking 500 women! Not 5, 10 or even 50!
It was a humbling experience. Over 100 women accepted Christ or rededicated. I talked with a few of them. One was a homeless mom with 2 kids. She needed the lift she got from this event. My heart goes out to her! It was great to be able to direct her to shelter on top of everything else!
Three of the other ladies were Katrina evacuees. Another lady was someone locally that I knew. She and I talked for awhile. And the list goes on. I hope I was able to help some. It was just an amazing event. I am grateful and humbled to have been able to participate.
If this comes to a town near you drop everything and GO! No matter if you are a volunteer or an attendee you will be blessed.
