A Pastor’s Experience during the Church Of The Week…
Wow! What a terrific experience serving with Love INC’s Church Of The Week! After loading furniture into trailers, folks from our church delivered needed items. For one family with three children we provided a bed and furniture. For another woman we provided furniture. In one apartment we noticed an open Bible. We asked if we could pray for our contact there. She said yes, that she had recently experienced some relational pain and that our prayer was timely and most welcomed. After we held hands and prayed she seemed visibly encouraged and was praising God as we left.
Thanks Love INC, for letting us serve the cause of Christ in Sacramento with you!

A Pastor’s Experience during the Church Of The Week…
“We had quite a load of furniture to deliver to this young man and his family. When he greeted us in the parking lot of his apartment complex he seemed in disbelief that this was actually happening, as if he had been told it would happen but doubted it actually would. The apartment he shared with his family, including his young daughter, was sparsely furnished when we arrived but full of furniture when we left. Among other things, his young daughter finally had a bed of her own.
As the team gathered in his living room and he began to thank us for the furniture his emotions overcame him. He talked about his passion to become a musician and about some recent success finally with some songs he had written, but also talked about how the journey had been so difficult. The gift that Love INC had provided was clearly a tremendous encouragement to him.
He gladly welcomed our prayers and when we were finished he went around the circle and, still in tears, hugged every one of us on the team. We all left with the sense that we had been blessed by him and by the opportunity to help him and his family in such a tangible way.”
