In
November we had a ride to deliver the pictures of our photo op at the
‘Hallelujah Festival’. We
had several that were
unchurched families. All
appreciated the pictures.
On
December 11th, we
rode to the Wiregrass Children’s Home for a Christmas visit.
We ate pizza and cookies before the children watched a puppet show
put on by the F.A.I.T.H Riders. Then
Santa came to visit and told them about the greatest gift ever given.
One of the children asked Santa (our member Doug Hawkins) if he was
going to do any magic tricks. Without
hesitation he responded, “Yes I am going to disappear in a few
minutes.”
On
Dec 15th we rode to the Memphis Homebound families.
We took gifts of socks and lotion and sang Christmas carols.
We feel it was a huge success.
Everyone was blessed. |

“What
good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have
faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him?
Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and
daily food. If one of you says to him, ‘Go, I
wish you well; keep warm and well fed,’ but does
nothing about his physical needs, what good is it?
In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not
accompanied by action, is dead.” James 2:17 |

First Baptist Church
Lakeland,
FL

These
past few months have been a challenging, but blessed
time for the
Lakeland
chapter. To give our members an opportunity to
grow their faith, we have really focused on creating
opportunities for hands-on local ministry. We understand
that each and every person has God-given gifts and
talents which should be used for His Glory.
Our members have responded with amazing generosity
as the Lord has provided!

Some
of the things we’ve been involved in are providing
Thanksgiving dinner to the young men of the Star
Program, which is a resident male adolescent program
administered through the Polk County Sheriff's Office;
providing gift bags and worship services for the
Bartow Center Nursing facility; providing Christmas
gifts for two large families with children in need;
direct motorcycle ministry at the Cocoa Beach Hog
Rally; hosting the A.B.A.T.E. Toy Run for Lakeland
where we served food and the gospel to a couple
hundred bikers; and continued previous ministries like
local bike nights, Lawtey State Prison ministry; and
started a new emphasis on a benevolence ministry to
meet the needs of our own people (WHEW!).
We
have a long way to go but, God has been very good to
us and we hope to continue being faithful to Him. Our
ultimate goal is to see what God is doing and to ask
Him what part He would have us to play. God Is Good.
Love

“Now
he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food
will also supply and increase your store of seed and
will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You
will be made rich in every way so that you can be
generous on every occasion, and through us your
generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.”
