People who live outside the city or in other locations across the country often ask me, "What is it like where you live, doing what you do?"
There are a number of ways to answer that inquiry. But, for today, I'll direct you to an event we've planned for a week from today. Participation with us in this special, collective action will allow you to experience and share in a bit of our world. And, the video link at the end of this post will really help your understanding.
Just like every other day, on Monday, October 22, thousands of our neighbors will skip breakfast, miss lunch and go without dinner. They will go to bed hungry.
I'm asking you to join them.
For this one day, I ask you to go without food for at least one meal.
Share in the hunger that many of our neighbors experience daily. Spend the day in reflection about the issue of hunger. Donate the amount you save by not eating to our work here in Dallas.
Make a commitment to our community on Community Hunger Day 2007.
Our neighbors who live in inner city Dallas, Texas will be strengthened and encouraged by your support.

Good video. We do a similar ministry on a slightly smaller scale here in Melbourne, Florida. I am really pleased that we also use those who originally were served by our Food Closet as workers in the ministry. It's great to have people in your community speak of you as the church that feeds and clothes people. However, we are quick to let them know that God is doing the feeding and clothing . . . we are only instruments of his good pleasure. We they ask, "What do you mean?" then the door is open for real "feeding" to occur.
Peace.
