Bringing the Love of Christ to Bear: A Case Study from Joplin MO, Part 2

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

–Matthew 25.34-40 (NIV)

Joplin Day 2,  July 6, 2011 10:11:14 PM EDT

15 of us with 2 bobcats spent 7 hours at ‘Effies’ place separating the debris into metal, tree/brush, or trash and stacking those piles next to the road, as well tearing her subfloor off of the foundation. We will return there tomorrow morning to finish cleaning her property.  There are so many lots/business’s yet to be touched, it is hard to imagine the cleanup not lasting into the Winter months!!!
