Because of their generous gifts,
we've been able to giveout 500 bags of groceries
to those who are in need in the community.
It's such a blessing!
Without their help, we couldn't do it.
- Pretty soon sanctuaries like this
will be filled with people again.
Until then, OperationBlessing will continue
to meet people's needsin this time of crisis.
- And I think it's so important
to really, in a way, preach the gospel
just through showing thatlove and demonstration.
The people in the cars,they were so thankful.
I heard one lady that wasjust really moved to tears
to see people comingout, and reaching out,
and showing the love ofGod and helping people.
- I think it's beautiful, and I appreciate
they are looking out forother people in the world.
We need that.
We still have peoplethat have a good heart,
and help other people.
God bless you, and thank youfor doing the job you do.
- I would like to thank everyone,
really everyone that hasdonated to Operation Blessing,
because that way you canprovide for all of us
that have received this food,
and that has truly mattered.
So, thank you so much!
