Update on "Don't Pass Me By" Grab Bags

The video featured above touched me to see how deeply this man was touch by the kindness showed him from others.

"Don't Pass Me By" Grab Bags

 

As Christians we need to be sensitive to the needs of others. Since I have started taking the time to make sure that I have lunch bags packed with food to hand out to anyone I met along the way, I have been bless by the joy that is shared between the giver and the receiver as you help to met an immediate need. .  I packed six more bags this morning and have them ready for distribution this weekend.  I have added a small New Testament Bible or Gospel of John, along with a tract. Now I can enjoy praying for those we pass-by to come to know the one who will supply much more than lunch.

Bible that I am using in Grab Bags:

NLT Hungry Planet Bible, New Testament, Paperback By Tyndale House An ideal New Testament perfect for bulk donations to homeless shelters and soup kitchens!Page for writing a personal message to a homeless person * Articles explaining the Hungry Planet Bible Project, what it means to be spiritually hungry, and ways to help the poor * List of Internet resources and organizations * Size: 5" x 7.5" * 272 pages, softcover from Tyndale

Making more "Don't Pass-Me-By" Grab Bags

Yes, many of you have been asking, "How did it go handing out the food Grab Bags"? 
Well, I can say that it felt 100% better than reading the sign "Hungry" as I went flying pass. Then wondering if the homeless person I had just passed by may have "REALLY" been hungry.

We had prepared small lunch size paper bags with food items and had them with us in the car as we travel around town.  We had exhausted our supply and this morning we made our second batch of bags. Now, we are ready to distribute more food bags as needed.

Toys, Treats and Tracts: "To-Go"

Toys, Treats, and Tract Bags

This morning Mom and I had a lot of fun stuffing treat bags for kids.  Halloween is the perfect opportunity to give neighborhood kids treat bags. Many will come to your door on "trick or treat" night.  However, you can give out small treat bags to children you meet everyday; the same way you would hand out a gospel tact.

First, we stuffed a small size gift bag with a gospel activity book and candy treats.  Next we filled small party favor bags with small toys, whistles, candy and a Halloween gospel tract.

We plan to have a few bags with us as we go about our daily activities. I am sure we will be lead to some hungry kids. It should be great FUN!
