G.O.Y.A = Get Off Your Ass
What's up my peeps? Today I want to let you in on some history from Body of Christ Ministries. You see, the Fu King Preacher isn't just a wind bag telling everybody what to do and how to do it. We are out there in the community sharing the love that God has shared with us. The Ronald McDonald House of Galveston has been helping people for as long as I can remember. They provide families with a beautiful place to live while their loved ones are undergoing treatments at nearby University of Texas Medical Branch. Many of these patients come from Mexico and have suffered from horrendous burns over much of their bodies. As the scars begin to heal, they also begin to harden and without physical therapy and further surgeries, these children would lose the ability to move their extremities at all.
Our first outreach to the RMH and their guests began with a raffle for a beautiful diamond cross. The proceeds from that raffle provided enough funds to purchase soft plush dolls from Discovery toys.
When the necklace was paid for, we had enough funds to purchase 19 plush dogs for the children.
We called RMH and they said that they had 15 children as their guests at that time. The day that we arrived with the plush dogs, 4 new children had just arrived. God gave us the exact amount!
Here you can see my wife Donel giving the dogs to the many children.
The Plush Dolls had very limited stuffing in them and no zippers or sharp edges.
This is so important because those edges could tear delicate skin.
The mouths of the plush dogs were open and the children could stuff toys or books inside the dogs mouth to use it as a carrying device when traveling to and from doctors appointments.
Here we can see all of the children that God allowed us to be a blessing to that day.
That's me in the middle, when my hair was a lot shorter and I was beardless! I can remember what a great feeling it was in the house that day! Just enough for everyone!
It is amazing the way that God can take the efforts of a few and bless so many. Get out there and do something good for others around you. God will bring those blessings back to you one hundred fold!
