Thanks from Ms. Farmer

ABF Family - I just wanted to forward the below emails (one from Bobby, one from Glenda at LP) to you so you can see how much of an impact a few minutes of service can have. Ms. Farmer is truly appreciative of the effort made this past Sunday morning. Thank you to all of the men (and their families) that gave of their time this past Sunday to mow her yard. May God bless each of you for your service.

John, See below, The timeline isn't correct but read the impact we can have by just listening and looking out for people in need. This is the impact that the men & woman of our class have made upon this woman in 20 minutes worth of time. The time given up by the Men and there families was well worth it to Mrs. Farmer. Please pray that the our men' ministry has a great impact on our community and pray for Barbara and Macy.Pray that the courts will allow Barbara to adopt Macy.

I received a call this morning from an elderly lady named Barbara Farmer. She is raising a 5 year old and had taken her to gymnastics which another family member is paying for. While there she met Bobby and Melissa Hale (Young ABF) and in the time of visiting mentioned her yard needing mowed but her lawn mower was broken. The Hale’s mentioned they went to church on Sat. night at LP and would be glad to come by on Sunday. Sunday morning Barbara said 8 men showed up and had her yard mowed and then later one returned with Amdro because he had noticed fire ants at her back door. Barbara mentioned she is a member of another church in Rockwall and is assigned a deacon. She mentioned last year needing her yard done and no one ever came from her church to mow or to minister to her. Barbara specifically ask me to let Pastor Steve know there are people at Lake Pointe who truly get what being a Christian is about and how grateful she is to have had God put Bobby and Melissa in her path last Saturday.
