I am honored to lead the Men's Ministry of Bay Area Fellowship because when I ask for the men to step up, they do in a big way. Edna Degaish is a widow who lives in Flour Bluff and she lost her husband a few months ago. She could no longer keep up with the grass and trees around her home and needed help.
I sent an email out to the Men of BAF and asked who could help out. Within minutes I had 5 guys step up and say they would come out on a Wednesday night and work for 2 hours. By the end of the day I had 10 guys bringing mowers, trimmers and chain saws to get the job done. We made an incredible amount of progress but I had to ask if anyone would come back on Saturday morning to finish. Most said yes and we even had a few new people show up on Saturday. I also have to say thanks to Jennifer Welp and her two boys who came by to check on Rick and decided to stay and help.
Edna and her daughter were very thankful but I have to say I got way more out of watching God move than they did watching us work. If you are not serving in some capacity then you are not just cheating the church but you are cheating yourself. I promise you will always get more out of serving than you put into it. Go ahead and try to out serve God and see if you can do it. Here are some pictures of the MoB (Men of BAF) Bluff Project.
