A WORD FROM THE Acts 1:8 MINISTRY PRESIDENT
I would like
to personally invite each of you to come and golf with us
this year. Acts 1:8 Ministry will be hosting golf outings in
Green Bay and Milwaukee. If you live near either of these
locations and love to golf, please contact us at
920-494-2289 or go to www.acts18.org/golfsignup.asp for more
information. For some of you this may be your first time
golfing with us, and for others it may be your fifth time.
For those of you not able to golf, thank you for your
continued support.

TESTIMONIAL
“I was checking out
in a grocery store and I overheard a conversation between an
elderly lady and her driver saying that she hoped she had
enough money to pay for her groceries. The elderly lady
asked her driver how much she thought the groceries were
going to be. Her driver replied about $6. The elderly lady
said she had $5 and change. So I thought, God has blessed me
so much. I had $20 and my groceries weren’t that much. So
after I checked out, I walked up to the elderly lady and
gave her $10 and said, “now you have enough and a little
extra.” She looked at me and said “I don’t know what to
say.” I just smiled and as I walked away I looked into her
basket and saw a little food for her and a little food for
her cat. I truly feel blessed.” |
