Helping the Ladies

Observe people who are good at their work--

skilled workers are always in demand and admired;

they don't take a back seat to anyone. (Prov 22:29 MSG)

This is a quick shout out to the MEN (listed below) of KingdomBuilders who made our first WtS (Worship through Service) such a great success. I totally admire you guys for the skills that you have...being an administrative type I coordinate but you guys did the work. Praise God for you!

Ok two quick stories of the day. But first for those of you that don't know KingdomBuilders (CalvarySLO Men's Ministry) helped out 12 women (Single Moms, Big Buddies Mom, Single Women) changed their oil, washed thier cars, and even did some computer diagnostics. All this during a church Bring Your Own Lunch (BYOL) Picnic.

Ok now to the stories...one of the ladies we helped out receives care from a local Family Agency. She was called at the last minute and offered our services. Her car was in dire need of an oil change as she put it. When she dropped her car off she asked me how much they were charging for a car wash. When I told her it was part of the deal her eyes almost popped out! She was so excited...she said, "Oh you guys are going to spoil me today?" And I could tell it had been a long time since she had been so blessed.

Second story...I walked into the computer diagnostics center...and let me tell you it was any technodudes dream with flat screens and wifi and open computer boxes! Those guys only got one customer but she brought two computers! When I was in there she was beaming about how the men had upgraded the Gigabytes...above and beyond what she thought she was going to get. I don't know who was more blessed the men or the woman!

And that's what WtS is all about! We men aren't generally comfortable at Worship through Singing but we love to use our talents, gifts, and interests for the Kingdom of God. Great job brothers!
