THE KING'S KITCHEN

I've been talking about a new Ministry God had put on Mickey's heart. I am now able to announce it.

Back in November God placed on Mickey's heart to begin feeding the poor. He went to our Pastor and discussed it and got a couple of volunteers and began. The idea was to prepare a noon meal every Tuesday that anyone could come and eat for free. 5 weeks in a row, the meal was prepared and no one came!!!

After much prayer, thought and discussion it was decided that a better need to fill would be taking a hot meal to shut-ins one day a week.

Mickey visited with the Tulsa Meal's on Wheels organization and they were most helpful and informative. He has spent several weeks pulling information and needed items together. He visited last week with an Assisted Living Center near the church. He has checked with the Health Department about Food Handler classes and with the City about Permits. A lot of preparation.

Yesterday afternoon at 4:30 a meeting was called for any one who was interested in helping with this ministry. Several people have come up to Mickey in these ensuing weeks showing interest but we were totally shock when 30 people showed up yesterday!!!

Notice in the yesterday's church bulletin of the meeting. (click to enlarge!)

11 people signed up as cooks, with 2 more as "stand-by" and 7 people signed up to deliver the meals. WOW!!! God is truly at work and speaking to people's hearts.

Mickey will be meeting with all the cooks next Monday evening at 6 and next Thursday night at 6, Stephen, our Associate Pastor who is the staff person over all missionary activities, and Mickey will be meeting with the delivery people to set up the routes.

We will begin by serving 25 hot meals every Tuesday noon. The launch date for the first meals will be mid-February. They will be delivered to our Church body shut-ins and an additional 5 in a local assisted living center in our community. It will be exciting to see where God will take this ministry!!

"Who (with reason) despises the day of small things?" Zechariah 4:10 Amplified Bible

We solicit your prayers and we are not ignorant of satan's devices to try and hinder any and all effort of God's people to be God's hands extended. But with God on our side we KNOW who wins.

I stepped down from working in the Klothes Kloset every Tuesday to join hands with and support and help my husband in The King's Kitchen. Praise God that position has already been filled by Betty, another woman from the Monday Bible Study group. God is faithful!!!
