MY Matthew-25 giving story

“Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.”
— John 13:14

This year, I made a decision to be more intentional about giving to the mission field, even though I am not able to go myself. After learning about the heartbreaking situation in Pakistan—especially the conditions in brick factories—I felt deeply burdened. It is devastating that, even today, people are still being treated like slaves, and that many young girls are suffering abuse and violence.

We are so blessed to have our basic needs met, and I believe God is calling us not to turn away, but to respond with compassion and action. My prayer is that more people will become aware, lift these precious lives up in prayer, and find ways to help bring freedom, protection, and hope. May God use us to save lives and restore dignity where it has been taken away.

Dollar Amount Used to Bless Others (optional): $500

Prayers: Please pray for Pakistan, especially for families trapped in modern-day slavery in brick factories. Pray for protection over vulnerable women and children, for justice and freedom for the oppressed, and for God’s peace, healing, and provision. Pray also for missionaries and local believers serving faithfully in very difficult conditions.

I heard the need for the Lunch Fellowship room and the Sunday School room. I ordered a 6' table for the Lunch Fellowship room and a 6' bulletin board for the Sunday School room and installed them.

Prayers: I have three prayer requests.

1. We have true fellowship in our body of Christ.

2. God guide parents and Sunday School teachers to be models of Jesus followers so that our children can learn from their lives, not only from the Sunday School.

Pastor Amgad has been an inspiration to me as he boldly shares the gospel with the Arabic-speaking population. He gives everything he has, including his time, to express Christlike love to others. He drives hours on end, picking up brothers and sisters in the Arabic congregation, just to give them an opportunity to learn more about Christ and the gospel. I am touched by his devotion to Christ. This is the reason for my contribution to his ministry.

Dollar Amount Used to Bless Others (optional): $250

Prayers: Arabic mission, Pastor Amgad's well-being

My Matthew 25 giving story is simply based on inviting fellow church members over for lunch or dinner.
I'm so grateful for my gift of cooking and enjoying people in my home. I also want to thank my spouse for her abilities, and pray we never grow tired of having people over and feeding them. This simple method has opened several doors for me in so many ways. I have faith that God is bringing us all closer to one another, and in due time, I believe we will all be one-minded for Christ.
I pray that more people will learn of this great art and use it to help people and expand HIS kingdom.

Dollar Amount Used to Bless Others (optional): $50-$100 for groceries and other items needed, each time I invited guests over.

Prayer Requests (optional): My wife and I are trying to have a baby. Please pray for us~

Although it was a small amount (buying breakfast for a homeless man who was hungry and came up to me in line ), I told him, “Please remember this: Jesus loves you. “
He was a quiet old man and just said,” thank you “and “ok”. Small deed, but it made me feel good that he was able to eat something at least for that cold morning.

Prayer Requests (optional): For those who feel God isn’t there but don’t know he has always beenin existence, I ask that prayers be for those who seek shelter, food, and love from others in the name of Jesus.
To help me demonstrate more of Matthew 25 and grow more in His Word.
