My beloved brother in the Lord,

Calvary Greetings in the Most Precious Name of our Lord.

Thank you my faithful brother for the thrilling, charging and merciful letter.

Truly the Bible remains very true and forever more it will be.

All things are possible to those who believe and He always pours out His blessings to those who love His and does His will.

Yes we must seek His Kingdom and He will add all things to us.

One thing I know brother when we seek the owner He will supply , when we are connected with the source we become resourceful when we are connected with the winner we become winners in our lives.

Thanks for your prayers and your heart felt love.Amen!!! Brother blesses obedience and obedience id better than sacrifice or more than a fattened ram. Praise God for the testimony of how God Has provided the poor in your ministry, for He says in His word He raises the poor from the dust ,dung and ashes and places them on high with princes. Brother according to the higher prices of food stuffs, to feed a family of 6 people is $ 550 per a Month. Absolutely brother no help is a available here in Kenya , unless the well wishers or good Samaritans who are touched by God Himself to meet the needs of this people. < /FONT>

For blessed are the merciful for they will obtain mercy. Here in Kenya know body is interested to know your poverty status or your sufferings or you slept hungry. Yes we thank God how is the Spirit of God is moving and many are coming to the truth of Gods word. Brother this family have no wage right now because they were terribly affected by the Crisis of tribal clashes and during our last years election for many were flashed out of their places and as I mentioned to you early only by Gods grace and well wishers this people are living BUT if not so they barely make it in life.

Please feel free the questions are not a burden to me I am happy to answer them. Always and forever we must seek Gods will in our life and in ministries. Indeed prayers are very Important and this is the Key. I do pray that God will direct you and uplift you as we Join hands to do Gods will and consider this need. God bless you my fine brother.

Hope to hear from you soon,

Pastor Onesmus Mark Omesa.

Chuck Handley, Community Bible Church, Stockbridge, GA, and I went out this morning to make Angel Food deliveries. The food was provided by Jodeco On the Road Food Pantry and came from members of Jodeco Road UMC, Mount Olive Baptist Church and Jodeco Baptist Church. God led us to 6 families that needed food. And, He led us to 2 homeless people to whom we gave Homeless Goodie Bags too. Over the last week, we've given out over 100 New Testaments/Bibles that were donated to our homeless/needy ministry by a fellow Gideon, and, by my Sunday School Class, Christian Friends, Jodeco Road UMC. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

This is a pastor from Kenya that wrote me a month ago after seeing our website. It is the only email that I have ever received from the website. I am asking for fervent prayer to God almighty for provision for these people and for direction for us in our ministry. This man just didn't happen upon our website. God is sending him to us for our help. I am not sure of the crisis in his country although I think they had some unsettling times in the past year.
In Christ's Love!!!

Thank you, Jodeco Road UMC's United Methodist Men and Jodeco Road UMC church members who volunteered on Saturday, 4/26/08, to break down approximately 2500 pounds of food donated to Jodeco On the Road Food Pantry into 12 deliveries for Revelation Celebration Ministry (RCM) to take to the needy in our community. Twelve deliveries were made to a widow and to 11 very needy families that God led RCM too, that day. Two people asked Jesus into their hearts, during the day. God is good!

I am such a sacredly cat! I knew that we going to have to have a less expensive entry fee for the golf tournament this year, because of the slow economy. I felt certain that we would have to move to a less expensive course. After talking to one of my friends that is doing a much larger tournament with Canongate, He told me that they had gone up on the price from last year by ten dollars per player. Well I decided to at least try with Andy at Canongate before I called anyone else. I sent him an email telling him that we would have to have $10/player less than last year to be able to do the tournament at Georgia National this year. He sent me a contract back with the same cost as last year, so I sent him another email reminding him that we had to have $10/player less. He emailed back apologizing and lowering the price by $10/player. He remembered our people from last year. I know that the Lord did this and is working on Andy for Revelation Celebration Ministry. Praise God!!! Hallelujah!!!!! To put this in perspective, Georgia National is one of the best courses in the Atlanta area and we are getting the price that we would have to pay at one of the worst courses in the area. As most of ya'll remember, these people do a great job. It also is a great place to get to witness to folks that never darken the door of a church. My neighbor Ron Mason,still talks about us praying and reading God's word in the clubhouse last year. I need to know who will be able to commit to helping us make it happen on Wednesday, June 18th. starting time 1pm. I know that we still are going to have to cut expenses, which means that we will need more donated items, we will need food donated instead of paying Canongate. I am thinking that we can get Chic-fil-A to help us with that possibly. Anyway, let me know as soon as possible, I need to know if we can move forward. I need to sign the contract and nail it down. I will have to get some of the preliminaries done from Ft Worth. Remember the more people that we can get involved on the committee to put together the tournament, the better it will be for fund raising. With all of the people out of work, we are going to need more than ever this year. These times are great opportunities for us to reach people for Christ. (Reach, Preach, and Teach)

FYI, This is the numbers for Mar 2008: 110 Families given food, 536 people, 205 children, 73 seniors, 6745 lbs of food, 93 hot meals served at Stockbridge Assembly of God Friday night services, 89 homeless goodie bags served in three or four counties. Praise God for the bounty that he has provided and praise him for sending the willing hearts to help get it out to them. It has been the body of Christ coming together to serve our Lord and Savior. I have one regret, I can't remember us leading anyone to the Lord last month. We need to revisit our mission statement and have some brain storming to come up with fresh ways to reach the lost. Our priority is to reach the lost, hopeless and hungry by showing them the love of Christ, then proclaiming the gospel to them and then discipline them to build them up in the Holy Word of God and teach them how the power of the Holy Spirit will transform their lives. We've been doing a good job of showing them the Love of Christ and teaching them in the Word. One bright spot for me was seeing little 2 yr old Antonio holding his bible in his right hand and saying who-ah as he was walking around on his porch. I know that we are planting seeds. Another was listening to Richard tell us how his life has been transformed since we prayed for him to receive Jesus in his heart 1yr ago. He has quit drinking (he is an alcoholic), now studying his bible and attending church regularly. Praise God, all power, Glory and Honor to Him. He is such an awesome God. I pray that God blesses each one of you Indeed until your cup runs over.

In Christ's love!!!!! Wayne

p.s. please pray for my daughter Danielle and for her little girl baby that is her womb.. She is having to have bed rest for this whole month to try to keep the baby form being born prematurely. Thank you!! And I thank Jesus in advance!!! I know that He is going to grant our prayers.

Happy Spring! I was blessed to be able to provide homeless goodie bags (bottled water, canned food, spoon, crackers, breakfast cookie, chips and a Jones Memorial UMC Christian tract) to 4 homeless people, on my way to work this morning. Except for the grace of God, there go I.

We've been able to provide food, Jones Memorial UMC hygiene kits, Jones Memorial UMC Christian tracts, chips, bottled water and clothing to approximately 70 homeless people, this month. Some of the homeless people also got Community Bible Church gloves, Jones Memorial UMC sleeping bags/pillows, Jones Memorial UMC totes, Bibles and hats. The Lord also provided Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry with enough food (donated by Jodeco Road UMC, Mount Olive Baptist Church, Helping In His Name Food Pantry, Jodeco Baptist Church and Avalon Church) for approximately 70 needy families. Wow! God is great!

He also provided us with a freezer!

Please keep the pantry, the needy and Revelation Celebration Ministry in your prayers.

Blessings,

Frankie

Thank you, thank you, thank you! The van load of sleeping bags, hygiene kits, clothes, totes, Christian tracts and love that Jones Memorial UMC gave to our homeless outreach ministry, yesterday evening, will be a blessing to the less fortunate and will demonstrate God's love for them.

Since yesterday evening, because of Jones Memorial UMC's love and God's grace, 9 hygiene kits, 4 totes, 1 sleeping bag, 12 Christian tracts and 3 Bibles have been given to the homeless in our community (1 in Stockbridge, 2 in Conley and 6 in Decatur).

Also, yesterday evening, Calvary Refuge Center homeless shelter got a van load of potato chips from the pantry (donated by Helping In His Name Food Pantry).

God is good!

Bless you, yours, and, Jones Memorial UMC. Please keep Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry and Revelation Celebration Ministry/ our homeless outreach ministry in your prayers.

Kathy Guptill, Jones Memorial UMC, wants me to drop by their church around 5:00 PM, tomorrow, to pick up 2 cases of toilet tissue, clothes, hygiene kits and home made sleeping bags for our homeless outreach ministry. God is good!

The 50 boxes of food, with 46 Smithfield fully cooked hams (approximately 1500 pounds), that Avalon Church donated to us on Saturday was amazing. Tony St Cyr, a Baptist Minister, told the church about Revelation Celebration Ministry, and he then called me to pick up food that they wanted us to have. They had 750 people come to the church to pick up food, that day, as an outreach ministry to the community (Hope for Henry). They also took food to an apartment complex (door to door deliveries) behind their church, to a fire station, to Helping In His Name Food Pantry and to Haven House. God is awesome!

Praise God from all whom blessings flow!!!!

Be Blessed,

Frankie

Thank you! Bless all of you, and, yours!

Happy Tuesday, March, Spring and Easter!

Wayne made 4 deliveries, yesterday, to include 400 pounds of food to The Potter's House for Women. I'll make deliveries to Haven House and to Calvary Refuge Center on Wednesday. We have 2 more deliveries to needy families, to be made, that day, also. Additionally, Wayne is going to make another delivery of food to The Potter's House for Women (31 cases of frozen South Beach breakfast wraps), this Wednesday. We ran out of spaces to store the frozen food and took the cases of breakfast items to Stockbridge Assembly of God's Food Pantry, for safe keeping.

I think that we have given out at least 30 homeless goodie bags and have made at least 24 deliveries to the needy in our community, so far, this month (over 2700 pounds of food). Praise God!

We're out of food, again, and, almost out of money. Please pray that His mercy, provisions and grace will continue to flow our way; the need is greater than ever.

In Love,

Frankie

In going to and from work, from last Friday to this morning, our Lord has led me to 21 homeless people (10 this morning). They got homeless goodie bags that had Jones Memorial UMC Christian tracts, and, juice, crackers, candy, and, canned food from Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry (supported by Jones Memorial UMC, Mount Olive Baptist Church, Jodeco Road UMC, Jodeco Baptist Church, Stockbridge Assembly of God, just to name a few of the churches) in them. They also got chips, cookies and crackers from Helping In His Name Food Pantry. The goodie bags were prayed over by children at Jodeco Road UMC. And, some of them got gloves (donated by a member of Community Bible Church) and blankets (made by Jodeco Road UMC's United Methodist Women). God is great!
Thank you for your support, prayers, donation, encouragements and friendship!

Be Blessed,

Why did Jesus fold the linen burial cloth after His resurrection? I never noticed this....

The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like t he grave clothes.

The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded, and was placed at the head of that stony coffin.

Early Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.

She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, "They have taken the Lord's body out of the tomb, and I don't know where they have put him!"

Peter and the other disciple ran to the tomb to see. The other disciple outran Peter and got there first. He stooped and looked in and saw the linen cloth lying there, but he didn't go in.

Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there, while the cloth that had covered Jesus' head was folded up and lying to the side.

Is that important? Absolutely!

Is it really significant? Yes!

In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand

a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do wit h the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition.

When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it.

The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished.

Now if the master were done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table.

The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, "I'm done".

But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table, because....... ...

The folded napkin meant, "I'm coming back!"

He is Coming Back!

Wow! God is good! Just in the past month, or so, Jodeco Road UMC has truly reached out to the needy in our community. Here are just a few of the things that Jodeco Road UMC has done (planting seeds of love).

Jodeco Road UMC UMW made 21 Fleece Blankets for the homeless.

Jodeco Road UMC's Journey kids filled 30 homeless goodie bags with food, treats, Christian tracts, Moye's bottled water and love. They showed true love by visiting the residents at Laurel Park.

Jodeco Road UMC Boy Scout Troop 160 collected/donated over several hundred cans of food to the pantry on Scout Sunday.

Jodeco Road UMC's Youth collected canned food and money for Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry on "Souper Bowl Sunday". And, after their annual pancake supper, they donated syrup, butter, sasauges and pancakes to the Flippen Road Fire Station.

Jodeco Road UMC donated a ton of coats, hats and gloves to the needy for "Warm-Up Sunday".

Jodeco On the Road Food Pantry (the closet full of miracles) has provided over 6000 pounds of food to the needy in our community (January and February Angel food deliveries made by Revelation Celebration Ministry (RCM).

You have shown God's love to others. Thank you!

"Our love should not be just words and talk:
it must be love, which shows itself in action."
1 John 3:18

Be Blessed,

Frankie

Here's a note from Wayne Clement, Revelation Celebration Ministry (RCM), concerning the Atlanta Community Food Bank (ACFB) report that he just sent in for Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry's Account with them, for the month of January. Wow! Wayne's going to go to ACFB ,tomorrow, to pick up over a ton of food for the pantry that RCM plans on delivering this Saturday, along with Angel Food boxes, to the needy.

Karen and Chris Parrott, Jodeco Road UMC, (mentioned in the note) were sent from God! Chuck and Michelle (and her two sons), mentioned in the note, are good friends, from Community Bible Church. They are interested in starting a mission outreach program for the needy in Henry County. They showed up at Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry at Jodeco Road UMC, last month, to help RCM make Angel food deliveries to the needy. It snowed that day. But, that didn't dampen our spirits. They were a blessing!

The food and other items that are mentioned in the note below came from God thru Mount Olive Baptist Church, Jodeco Baptist Church, Jones Memorial UMC and Jodeco Road UMC. Most of the sleeping bags and hygiene kits were given out to the homeless, this month, and weren't included in the ACFB Report. Praise God from whom all blessings flow!

Thank you for your prayers, support, encouragements, donations and friendship!

Blessings,

Frankie

Left over pancakes, sausages, syrup and butter, from Jodeco Road UMC's Wednesday Night Supper/Ash Wednesday Service were taken to a local fire department. Along with the food, five Strength for Service devotionals were given to the firemen.

Praise God for His mercy, blessings, provisions and amazing grace!

Wow! Tell the Jodeco Road UMC Journey kids that we appreciate the 30 homeless goodie bags that they made to share God's blessings with the needy. They are "seeds" of love.

Yesterday, Karma, "Lilbit", Phil and Peaches got homeless goodie bags and were told that God loved them. Karma also got a Bible and reading glasses.

Over 50 homeless goodie bags have been given out, this month. Each bag had a bottle of Moye's water, a Betterway Bookstore Christian tract, Boca Grande Inc peanut butter and jelly packets, crackers, a breakfast bar, candy, a spoon, napkin, canned food, etc.

PS
Wow! Thank you! You're the greatest!

The first 3 Jodeco Road UMC UMW's blankets were given to 3 homeless people (Angie, Barry and Jennifer) that we'd never met before. Angie called her blanket "God's Blanket", after I told her that it'd been prayed over twice by members of Jodeco Road UMC. Barry and Jennifer had accepted Christ as their Savior at Revelation Celebration's Ministry's (RCM) first Friday night service in January 2008.
God is awesome!

Jodeco Road UMC Youth Director, Brian Love, will have our youth collect can goods and money, for the pantry, at the 8:45 AM and 11:00 AM service, on 2/3/08. It's for "Souper Bowl Sunday". Praise God!

Jodeco Road UMC collected coats, hats, gloves, etc, for the homeless during the month of January 2008! Wow!

Jodeco Road UMC United Methodist Women's group has a goal of making 50 blankets (Fleece for His Flock) for our homeless ministry by 2/14/08. God is great!

On 2/3/08, while we're at Jones Memorial UMC, Kathy Guptil's group will have hand made sleeping bags, hygiene kits, toilet tissue, hand made hats, gloves, hand made scarves, etc, for our homeless ministry. She said that we might need two vehicles to carry everything.

Jodeco Road UMC's Boy Scout Troop 160 usually does a Scout Sunday, during the month of February, in conjunction with a food drive for the pantry.

I'm Happy!
Blessings,
Frankie

Sandee, the beautiful fleece blanket that you made for Jodeco Road United Methodist Church's (UMC) United Methodist Women for their homeless mission project was given to Jennifer, today. Bless you!

Over 700 pounds of food was taken to Haven House and to The Potter's House for Women, today. Our Lord led us to 2 work release prisoners (J D and Lenard), and, to 5 homeless people (Jennifer, Barry, Jessie, Bob and Chris), today, also. They got homeless goodie bags, Christian tracts, hygiene items and prayer. Praise God!

When I think of the support, prayers, encouragements, donations and assitance that Jodeco Road UMC, Mount Olive Baptist Church, Stockbridge Assembly of God, and Jones Memorial UMC, among others, give to Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry and to Revelation Celebration Ministry (RCM), I think of the Body of Christ.

In Christ's Love,

Frankie

Wow! Neat story (see below). Thank you, Sandee!

The Bum
========

You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.
James D. Miles

Everyone respects and helps the millionaire, the famous, the boss, those with beauty and brains.

What about the bum on the street?

This is a real story. It happened to me, the writer of MountainWings.com.

I was parked in front of the church cleaning out my Jeep. I was waiting on someone.

Coming my way from across the street was what society would consider a bum.

From the looks of him, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes, and no money. There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don't want to be bothered.

This was one of those "don't want to be bothered times."

"I hope he doesn't ask me for any money," I thought.

He didn't.

He came and sat on the wall in front of the bus stop to wait on
the bus.

After a few minutes he spoke.

"That's a very pretty Jeep," he said.

He was ragged but he had an air of dignity around him. His scraggly blond beard keep more than his face warm. I said,
"thanks," and continued cleaning out the Jeep.

He sat there quietly as I worked. The expected plea for money never came.

As the silence between us widened something inside said, "ask him if he needs any help."

I was sure that he would say "yes" but I held true to the inner voice.

"Do you need any help?" I asked.

He answered in three simple but profound words that I shall never forget.

We often look for wisdom in great men and women. We expect it from those of higher learning and accomplishments. I expected nothing but an outstretched grimy hand.

He spoke the three words that shook me.

"Don't we all?" he said.

I was feeling high and mighty, successful and important, above a bum in the street, until those three words hit me like a twelve gauge shotgun.

Don't we all?

I needed help. Maybe not for bus fare or a place to sleep, but I needed help.

I reached in my wallet and gave him not only enough for bus fare, but enough to take a cab anywhere in the city and get food and shelter for the day.

Those three little words still ring true.

No matter how much you have, no matter how much you have accomplished, you need help too.

No matter how little you have, no matter how loaded you are with problems, even without money or a place to sleep, you can give help.

Even if it's just a compliment, you can give that.

You never know when you may see someone who appears to have it all. They are waiting on you to give them what they don't have. A different perspective on life, a glimpse at something beautiful, a respite from daily chaos, that only you th rough a torn world can see.

Maybe the man was just a homeless stranger wandering the streets.

Maybe he was more than that.

Maybe he was sent by a power that is great and wise, to minister to a soul too comfortable in themselves.

Maybe God looked down, called an Angel, dressed him like a bum, then said, "go minister to that man cleaning the Jeep, that man needs help."

Bless you! Thank you! God is great! The folks from Mount Olive Baptist Church are the salt of the earth!

Wayne Clement, Revelation Celebration Ministry (RCM), made an emergency food delivery today, 1/11/08, to a family of 3. The family met him at Jodeco Road UMC to pick up the food. They got 65 pounds of food from the pantry and Wayne talked to them about Jesus and about salvation, before they left. The Mother and Father prayed the sinners prayer and accepted Jesus Christ as their Saviour in the church's parking lot. Praise God!

Karen Parrot, Jodeco Road UMC, brought food (sloppy joe and ravioli) to Stockbridge Assembly of God, on her way home from work, for RCM's Friday night service, this evening. We made chili and added the sloppy joe to the pot of chili. The chili was tasty! And, the kids enjoyed the ravioli too. And, Mrs. Winners, Stockbridge, donated 3 gallons of tea for the service tonight. God is awesome!

So far, this month, the pantry has taken almost 1,000 pounds of food (Boca Grande Food's Inc peanut butter, jellies and bar-b-que sauce, from Mount Olive Baptist Church) to Calvary Refuge Center and to Haven House. We've made two emergency food deliveries and plan on making another one tomorrow. Yesterday, we gave food (Nestle's cocoa mix, canned cheese sauce and chocolate pudding from Mount Olive Baptist Church) to a church in Riverdale that has an outreach program for children and pregnant teens on Thursday nights. We've also given out 16 homeless goodie bags, 7 Bibles, a sleeping bag, blanket, socks, reading glasses, hygiene items, Henry Medical Center First Aid Kits, P-38 Military Can Openers and Betterway Christian Book Store Christian tracts.

Praise God for His mercy, provision, blessings and grace!

Happy Weekend!

Blessings,

Frankie

God is awesome! He led me to 12 homeless people, before work, last Thursday. Yesterday, he led me to 3 work release prisoners (Wolf, PJ and Tommie) and to 2 homeless people (Janice and Dirty Rick). They got homeless goodie bags, some got Bibles, and, all were told that they were loved by God.

Thank you for your support, prayers, encouragements, donations, friendship and love.

Merry Christmas!

Frankie

Good Morning!

Wayne is going into full time ministry with RCM. He's telling his boss today and has his home up for sale. Please keep him and RCM in your prayers.

RCM made a delivery to Haven House on 12/13/07 (approximately 185 pounds). RCM made 12 Angel Food deliveries on 12/15/07 (approximately 2000 pounds). An 18 year old muslim girl accepted Christ as her Savior, that day. Praise God! RCM will make a delivery to The Potter's House for Women tonight (approximately 200 pounds). God is good! He wants to do our "Angel Food" deliveries twice a month, next year.

Be Richly Blessed Beyond Measure!

Frankie

Greetings

Thanks to Mount Olive Baptist Church, we had enough food to make 7 deliveries last week (3 on 11/18/07-Frankie/Johnnie, 1 on Monday-Star, and, 3 on Thanksgiving Day-Frankie). We've also made approximately 19 goodie bag deliveries to the homeless and to 2 prisoners, over the last 2 weeks. Thanks to Jones Memorial UMC, the homeless also got hats, some got scarves, and gloves, also. God is awesome!

Our Lord has led me to some interesting homeless people to include Amazon (a very big woman), John The Baptist (also know as Chicken Man), Ricky, AMOCO (he used to work at one), Savannah, and Greek. Savannah and her family (husband and 3 children) were living in an old building in Conley. I referred them to Calvary Refuge Center. The family got the last children's sleeping bag that Jones Memorial UMC had donated to our homeless mission. Because of their love, we've given out 29 sleeping bags, 28 totes 9still have 4 totes to give out), 36 hats (still have 4 hats to give out) , 52 hygiene kits and about 91 pairs of gloves (still have 12 pairs of gloves to give out) over the past month. Wow!

While I was shopping at a grocery store in Forest Park, yesterday, a cashier came over and said, "I know you, Frankie; you gave my family food while we were staying at Motel 6." They're moving into an apartment next week. That touched my heart! She said "God is great!" Amen!

11/8/07

So far, this month, Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry has delivered over 1500 pounds of donated food to Calvary Refuge Center, to Noah's Ark, to 2 needy families, and, to The Potter's House for Women. Most of the food came from Mount Olive Baptist Church and a local Baptist minister. I love Baptists! Mount Olive Baptist Church made the food deliveries to Noah's Ark and to Calvary Refuge Center. Praise God!

Our homeless/needy ministry, so far this month, has given out 23 Jones Memorial UMC (JMUMC) sleeping bags, 10 JMUMC totes, 10 JMUMC hats, 10 JMUMC hand made scarves, 20+ JMUMC homeless hygiene kits (socks,wash cloth, hand towel, shampoo, tooth brush, tooth paste, body lotion, etc), 20+ pairs of JMUMC gloves, 20+ Bibles, and, 15 homeless goodie bags (Moye's bottled water, Mt Olive Baptist Church beanie weenies/sardines, cookies, crackers, Betterway Book Store Christian tract, etc). Wow! I love Jones Memorial UMC! The Body of Christ at work!

God is awesome, good and great!

Be Blessed,

Frankie

This morning, 10 homeless people on Ponce de Leon got Jones Memorial UMC hygiene kits, and, for those that needed them, they got Jones Memorial UMC hats, gloves and totes. God is good! Thank you for your support, encouragements, prayers, gifts of love, and, your friendship.

11/05/07

Bless you! Thank you! Praise God for Mount Olive Baptist Church, Jones Memorial UMC, Jodeco Road UMC, Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry, Jodeco Baptist Church, Revelation Celebration Ministry, Stockbridge Assembly of God, Noah's Ark, Calvary Refuge Center, Haven House, and, for His blessings, mercy, provisions and grace.

Today, our Lord led me to James, Tim, GiGi, Michael, Stephen, CiCi, Dana, John, and to 2 needy families. The homeless men and women got sleeping bags, hygiene kits, hats and gloves. The needy family got 3 children's sleeping bags, infant blankets, baby wipes, toilet tissue, foot powder, 2 hygiene kits and chocolate candy. Homeless goodie bags of food were given to Snow, James, Tim, GiGi, Stephen, CiCi, Dana and John. An emergency delivery of food was made to a Stockbridge family of 4, today, also. Wendy, the Mother, was walking on Hwy 42 going to the Stockbridge Checkers, Hwy 138, where a friend worked, to borrow money for food. I saw Wendy walking by the side of the road as I was going home and I offered assistance. God took care of the rest. Wendy, Tim and John got Gideon New Testaments. Please continue to pray for the homeless/needy in our community.

Be Blessed,

Frankie

Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Wendy, the woman whose family needed food, that you met last night at church, and that Jodeco On the Road Food Pantry gave food to, saw another miracle from God, last night. She didn't take the hotdogs/buns that you offered to give her, because her electricity was turned off. Wendy and I prayed at the alter, before I took her back home. When we got to her home, the lights were on. Praise God!

10/24/07

Thanks!

I saw Angela and her children while they were staying at Calvary Refuge Center. When Jodeco On the Road Food Pantry/Revelation Celebration Ministry (RCM) takes food to Calvary, it goes to the homeless and to the families, like Angela's, staying there. God is good!

When Wayne Clement, RCM, and I took food to Calvary Refuge Center (CRC), about a month ago, Angela and her two children were there. Ron, Night Manager, CRC, introduced us to them. She didn't remember me, but, when Ron said that I delivered 'Mo-joe's chicken tenders' to the shelter, she said, 'oh, yeah|'

Be Blessed,

Frankie

Jodeco On the Road Food Pantry (JOTR) emphasis for November 2007 will be breakfast items: grits, hot/cold cereal, pancake mix, syrup, biscuit mix, cocoa mix, coffee, sugar, creamer, breakfast bars, raisins, etc.

Last Saturday, Revelation Celebration Ministry (RCM) had a picnic/praise/worship/Baptism at the Alcovy River (Factory Shoals Recreation Park). It was awesome. Praise God! Four people were baptized,
and, RCM gave out 3 Bibles. Thanks to Jodeco Road UMC Christian Friends Sunday School Class's
$140 donation, RCM was able to serve 80 hotdogs, a lot of chili, a ton of chips
(from Helping In His Name Food Pantry), 24 bottles of water, 3 cases of soda,
lots of candy, and, about 5 boxes of snack cakes. Thanks to Robbie Anne, Jodeco Road UMC, the
children got Christian bulletins/activity sheets, info on The Armor of God, and,
a picture of Noah's Ark to color. The kids also got crayons, first aid kits,
memo pads and ink pens donated by Henry Medical Center.

Our Lord provided wonderful weather, willing hearts, a song in the air, two 15
passenger Stockbridge Assembly of God church vans, great food, and, good water
(the river was perfect) for the service/baptism. Wow! God is great!

RCM appreciates your support, prayers, encouragements, donations and participation in our community outreach mission.

Be Blessed,

Frankie

Wayne is currently teaching everyone to put on "The Armor of God", daily, to those who come to our Revelation Celebration Ministry's (RCM) Friday Night Bible Study meetings. In particular, our Lord has led RCM to a poor Hispanic family that live in a double wide trailer in Stockbridge, GA. The family comes to every RCM service. The children have learned to say "Hoorah!", a lot, as Wayne tells them about The Armor of God, and, God's mercy, provisos and grace. During our worship/praise/baptism service, last Saturday, at the Alcovy River (Factory Shoals Recreation Park), I heard the family's an 11 month old baby say "Hoorah!", several times, as he was learning to walk, and listening to Wayne talk about The Armor of God, that day. That touched my heart.

Praise God!

Christian Friends Sunday School Class, Jodeco Road UMC, tok up a collection and gave our homeless/needy ministry $140, yesterday. I think that will also give us another $75 to buy food for the picnic/Baptism Service scheduled for this Saturday, 9/22/07, at Factory Shoals Recreation Park. A Christian Friends Sunday School class member, who works with Helping In His Name Ministires, will provide chips for the picnic/Baptism Service.

The North Clayton County Gideon's Camp met last Tuesday evening and voted to purchase 30 New Testiments to give to me to provide to people that RCM's witnesses too.

Wow! God is good!

Last Friday, Butch and Pete Nixon, First Baptist Church of McDonough, came by Jodeco Road UMC to pick up a ton of clothing and blankets that had been donated by a family of the church and from Caroline, who works at Moe-joe's in Rex. They will hand the donated clothes/blankets out when they go downtown on the 2d Friday of next month, to witness and to provide food/hygiene items to approximately 200 homeless people.

Thank you for what you do and keep RCM in your prayers.

Be Blessed,

Frankie

Greetings!

Y'all are the greatest! Thank you for all that you do in Christ's name.

Revelation Celebration Ministry (RCM) Update:

The food, clothing, Christian tracts, sleeping bags, toilet paper, shoes and Bibles that y'all have provided to Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry/RCM have opened doors and hearts to Christ.

In June, 4 people accepted Christ as their Saviour. In July, 4 people accepted Christ as their Saviour. So far in August, 4 people have accepted Christ as their Saviour. God is good!

This morning, RCM gave out goodie bags/Christian tracts to 5 homeless people, provided a simple meal for 8 homeless veterans, provided 2 sleeping bags to homeless veterans, and, provided food for two homeless veterans with families. Wow!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! What a blessing Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry, Jodeco Road UMC, Mount Olive Baptst Church, Jodeco Baptist Church, Moe-joe's, Moye Pharmacy, The Press On Band from The First Baptist Church of McDonough, and, Stockbridge Assemby of God and it's food pantry have been to RCM.

Praise God!

“I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.”

Ms Jack McCall, Jodeco Road UMC, is a "coupon clipper queen". She has already donated a lot of food (non perishables and frozen food) to the pantry at no or little cost (pennies on the dollar) to her.

She'd like for members of Jodeco Road UMC to bring in food coupons to the church so that she can get food for the pantry at little or no cost. Just One Example: Recently, she got 35 boxes of Betty Crocker Scalloped Potatoes for $0.00. They were on sale at Kroger for $1 each and she "found" thirty-five 50 cent off coupons for the product. Kroger doubled the coupon amount and she didn't pay anything.

She has done the same thing with 15 boxes of Birds Eye frozen veggies and 10 packages of candy Easter bunnies. Wow! Praise God! Of course, the pantry has already given out all 35 boxes of the potatoes, the 10 packages of frozen veggies, and, the Easter bunnies. She paid nothing for those items. God has answered my prayers.

If she finds bargains at little or no cost in the future, she'll bring in the receipt along with the food for reimbursement. What a blessing she has already been and will be in the future.

Blessings,

Frankie

RCM made food deliveries to The Potter's House for Women and to Haven House, last week. RCM also provided 20 homeless goodie bags (to 4 work release prisoners and to 16 homeless people) and 29 kiddy goodie bags to 5 children in a needy family and to 14 children at Haven House. Sixty Bibles, 80 Christian tracts and 172 bottles of water were also distributed by RCM last week. God is good!

The Potter's House for Women Princesses were at RCM's annual golf tournament, again, last Wednesday. They touched our hearts with their witnesses. The homeless and kiddy goodie bags that were given out last week were put together and prayed over by The Potter's House Princesses. What a blessing that ministry is to the community.

Thank you for your donations, prayers, support and encouragements. The food emphasis for Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry for this month is breakfast items (hot/cold cereal, grits, breakfast bars, cream of wheat, jelly, pancake/biscuit mix, etc). Whatever you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Blessings,

Frankie

As we all know, Memorial Day means a lot more than cook-outs, beach trips, sleeping late, and a long weekend. It's about remembering the brave, selfless people who died so that we can enjoy all of those things. Remember the families of those who have made that sacrifice for freedom too. We have a lot to be thankful for. And, pray for our military and leaders. God bless America!

Revelation Celebration Ministry (RCM) has been truly blessed with the praise music and inspirational messages provided by the "Press On" Christian band from The First Baptist Church of McDonough at our Friday night services.

The Stockbridge Assembly of God provides RCM with a meeting place for our Friday Night services and a 15 passenger van to pick up the people that our Lord leads us to for the services.

Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry at Jodeco Road UMC, supported by Mount Olive Baptist Church, Jodeco Road UMC, Jodeco Baptist Church, Mo-joe's, and, Stockbridge Assembly of God's food pantry, to name a few supporters, provides RCM with food to give to the needy.

Praise God for their support!

Greetings from Decatur!

God is great!

Yesterday morning, RCM was able to give 3 homeless people on Ponce De Leon homeless goodie bags, Christian tracts and hygiene kits. Yesterday evening, Betterway Christian Books donated 60 New Testaments to give to the golfers/volunteers at RCM's Golf Tournament. Doug Drummond, Mo-joe's, told me, yesterday, to come by his office next Wednesday to pick up some gift certificates for the tournament.

This morning, RCM purchased cereal from Super Wal-Mart and from Kroger to take to Calvary Refuge Center this evening. Tawana Tarno, Executive Director, Calvary Refuge Center, said that Calvary needed cereal.

All glory to God for his mercy, love, provisions and grace!

Be Blessed,

Frankie

Linda wanted to go to the festival in McDonough, on Saturday. So, I took some golf tournament brochures to the McDonough Welcome Center while we were there. I told a staff volunteer that Star would be by to get handouts for the golfers, at a later date. They were really busy.

Philippians 4

Exhortations

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

Be Blessed,

Frankie

God is good! Revelation Celebration Ministry (RCM) made 11 Angel Food deliveries to the needy, on Saturday, 5/12/07. An emergency delivery was also made yesterday, Sunday, 5/13/07. Below are pictures of a family that RCM visited with and delivered food to, on Saturday.

Early, last week, our Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry was just about empty. The Lord provided approximately 2000 pounds of food to the pantry, at the end of the week, for RCM's Saturday delivery. Praise God! Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry is truly a "closet full of miracles".

Last week, 6 people accepted Christ as their Savior, as God led RCM to the people He wanted us to share the Good News with.

All glory to God for His mercy, miracles, love, provision and grace!

Thank you for your continued support to reach out to the poor in our community to share His gifts and His word.

Be Blessed,

Frankie

This week RCM has provided homeless goodie bags and Jones Memorial UMC hygiene kits, to nine homeless people. Two homeless women also received Jones Memorial hand-made sleeping bags. And, five homeless people received Jones Memorial UMC pillows.

When Lana, a homeless lady living on Ponce De Leon, Atlanta, got a goodie bag, work gloves, a hygiene kit, a pillow and sleeping bag, this morning, she said, "God is good all the time" and "thank you Jesus".

4/23/07

Thank you for a giving heart. Because of your love, support, donations and prayers, Revelation Celebration Ministry (RCM) was able to give out six sleeping bags, 10 goodie bags and over 30 hygiene kits to homeless people staying close to the intersection of Grove Park Road and Moreland/Hwy 42 intersection (in the Forest Park/Conley area). Most of the the homeless were women. They were very appreciative and were told that the gifts were made and given out of love from our Heavenly Father. Praise God!

RCM has given out a total of 9 sleeping bags and 40 hygiene kits since last Friday night.

Glory be to God for His mercy, love, miracles, provisions and grace!

Be Blessed,

Frankie

Yesterday was an awesome day for RCM. God is great! RCM delivered approximately 100 pounds of food to Haven House, gave goodie bags and devotionals to 3 prisoners and 1 community service guy, gave 20 Bibles to Jodeco Baptist Church for their Angel Food Ministry, took a ton of baked potatoes and salad (left over from Jodeco Road UMC's Wednesday Night supper) to Calvary Refuge Center, and, gave hygiene kits (from The First UMC of Jonesboro), goodie bags, Christian tracts and devotionals to 12 homeless people (4 of the homeless people were in Stockbridge and 8 of the homeless people were in Forest Park).

Thank you for your prayers, support, donations and encouragements.

Be Blessed,

Frankie

Thanks to your support, prayers, donations and encouragements, RCM was able to make 5 emergency food (from Jodeco On The Road Food Pantry) deliveries over the past week. One delivery was made to a family of 7, one delivery was made to a widow, and, 3 deliveries were made to homeless men (Jeff, Noah and Johnnie) in Stockbridge. They were told about The Good News.

There were approximately 25 people at last Friday night's RCM service. Praise God! They participated in "washing of feet" and Holy Communion. This Friday night, 4/13/07, RCM will have a Bible Study at Stockbridge Assembly of God on N Henry Blvd, beginning at 7:00 PM. This Saturday, 4/14/07, RCM will make Angel Food Box deliveries to the needy. Join us if you can.

I wanted to let everyone know about our "Good Friday Service". We met at 7pm with Pizza for dinner, different than the last supper but after the dinner we had wonderful praise music from Joey Shedd and the "Press On" band. The we had a "foot washing"! It was an awesome spirit filled experience. Several people took the opportunity to wash a friend's feet to show their love. We had only 25 people there but it was intimate and very fulfilling. Our prayers were and are with our brother Frankie(who was in Ala. with family) and his family as they go thru some hard times with health and family issues.
