Sunday

“For in that day

every man will cast away his silver idols

and his gold idols,

which your sinful hands

have made for you as a sin.”

~Isaiah 31:7, NASB~

(This verse, that was in an emai,l seems to fit my Sunday School lesson from I Samuel 7 perfectly.)

“God has provided the resources for us to minister to the critical needs of many people in our parish. At the same time, the lives of our volunteers have been blessed and enriched in a wonderful way,” reflects Brenda.

Day 8- Brenda Winburn

“…and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday,” Isaiah 58:10. “God has provided the resources for us to minister to the critical needs of many people in our parish. At the same time, the lives of our volunteers have been blessed and enriched in a wonderful way,” reflects Brenda.

Brenda Winburn is the director of the Care and Share Ministry in Rayville. “We provide food and clothing, help people with emergency needs, hand out Bibles, pray with people, give out tracts with the food and seek to present a verbal witness of the gospel. We are the only ministry of this type in Richland Parish. This ministry was very instrumental in beginning the Rayville Baptist Christian Fellowship Church whose congregation is mostly African American,” says Brenda.

This care and share ministry is bringing joy to the lives of many people in the Rayville area. “A junior high school student came to his teacher who happened to be a member of First Baptist Church in Rayville and asked her, ‘How do you like my new jacket? Do you want to feel it?’ She said yes and touched the jacket. The student then unzipped it and showed her the inside and with great pride said, ‘This came from Care & Share,'” recalls Brenda.

Please pray that this ministry will be able to meet the physical and spiritual needs of the people who come to Care & Share. Pray that they will be able to offer a weekly Bible study. Finally, ask God to give wisdom in the utilization of the new building and the possible expansion of this ministry to meet additional needs.
