ABC in focus - June 2023During this time of year, I have many opportunities to distribute health kits to farm workers who arrive in our area. Invariably, they express their gratitude for this tangible expression of Christian love. I have sometimes wondered how many cavities we have prevented over the years by the tens of thousands of tubes of toothpaste we’ve distributed, or how many farm workers have avoided sickness by being able to wash off the dust and chemicals with the soap and washcloths we provide. Perhaps we will have an idea of these numbers when we arrive in heaven. But I’m more interested in finding out how many people will be present there because of the Scriptures we include with each health kit and the Gospel witness we give with each one. Last night, as I distributed health kits on a farm, I briefly shared the Good News of Christ with those who were gathered there. They were all attentive to the Gospel presentation. I could tell that some were already believers and were encouraged to hear God’s Word. Others simply absorbed what they heard. On behalf of those who receive health kits, thank you to all who work so hard to provide them! Would you join me in praying that we would see lives changed, both for now and for eternity, as we serve them in Christ’s name? As always, thank you for your prayers and support of ABC Regional Hispanic Ministries.
