Rolling Away the Stone...

 Praise the LORD!!!

   Currently I'm watching a Joyce Meyer video and I do mean currently(though it's not playing at the moment), but the LORD has led me to post this! For many years I've never made a statement about the direct needs of the ministry. I've made many indirect ones, but never out and out said "this is the need!"

   Well, this morning I'm 'rolling away the stone' and doing so. I've operated this ministry for around twelve years, alone and completely out of pocket. From the small basement clothing and food pantry in Springfield, Missouri, to rebuilding works along the gulf coast. All this was done by my hands, though others donated most of the items donated or used to do the work, my hands were the ones doing it. You won't find a list of all that's been done and that is one big difference between V.C.M. and others. We're not here to glorify ourselves, but JESUS CHRIST alone. Sure you'll find many references to areas and some work, but never the details.

   The stone that I'm rolling away, is this, Vine needs others! Whether through donated items, your coming on board with the ministry(either directly,by coming here, or indirectly), or support of some other means. It needs other people willing to go to the ends of the earth to bring glory to the precious name of JESUS through the works of their hands and the words of their mouths. If you're a BAC and tired of seeing secular groups getting the glory for people doing those works that Christians should be, then maybe you should consider V.C.M. Pray and ask the LORD and then do only that which HE leads you to!!!
