This is an awesome expression of love and care extended to a segment of the Toledo community in the name of Jesus. Thank you for your vision and passion to involve your church in "leaving the building."
ReplyDeleteMission Trip to Toledo's loving vision with passionate implementation reminds me of Mother Teresa's statement that, "Small things, done in great love, bring joy and peace."
