Heroes of the Faith

Heroes of the Faith aren't always sawed in two. It's been a hot week up here in North Florida. A couple of our guys were relentless in their commitment to Christ by enduring the heat just for the chance to share Jesus with someone. A local church (Olivet Baptist) was heroic for hosting the Florida Baptist Dental Clinic for the seventeenth straight year. Folks from other churches and dentists were heroic in offering of their time to help poverty-stricken people get free dental treatment. Florida Baptists that give to the Maguire State Offering every year helped fund this venture as well. It was awesome to see Christians do what they do, not what the media says they do. Speaking of the media, I didn't see any of them around. I'm betting that in 17 years this church nor Florida Baptists have gotten any publicity for this show of care and concern for the community (not that they want it). Just sayin'. All of these folks were doing their part in the name of Jesus. There are different ways one can share the love of Jesus in the community. ---Do what you do. Oh yeah, at least one person came to know Christ this week, while others were challenged.
