Here is another reason that we have taken these other churches into the Woods Chapel family. They needed someone, someone to help them.
There have been times in the past when Woods Chapel needed help. We forget this but we have needed the help of others in the past. Other churches helped start us. Other churches helped us buy the property on Woods Chapel road. Other churches trained our ministers. Other churches led training events for us. Other churches contributed a $400,000 grant to help us get started at the 291 property.
We would never be the kind of church that we are today if none of the other churches stepped up to help us. And so, we have friends in Raytown and Blue Springs that need our help. It is not a crime to need help. Things happen, and sometimes, we need to help each other. As long as we have the ability to help others, we need to do so. It is the kingdom work.
If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth. 1 Jn 3:17-18
It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
