GENEROSITY

This past Wednesday afternoon I received a message from a KFAer who works at a local foster care agency.  She express that they were in need of gifts for some of the children under their care.  My initial response (in my head) was that I was not sure that, based on her timeframe that we could find small groups to cover the need… BUT, I wanted to do all I could to say “YES” before I had to say “no”.  So, I emailed all of our small group leaders to test that waters of willingness. Our leaders are so AWESOME that by the time I left my desk that night I had almost enough inquiries to fill the need!

Today many of us met in the KFA North Commons for a Potato Bar lunch to benefit “Speed the Light”, an Assemblies ministry for youth to support missionaries.  It was a loaded potato for a donation.  Not only was it great to see KFAers turn out to support this event, but also to see the fellowship go on long after the last chili and cheese had been ladled out.  
We are blessed with some of the most generous, caring givers in our fellowship.  I believe it makes God smile when people use their gifts to bless others.
