On New Years Day, I started off the year by going door to door in my neighborhood. I was not sure how it would be received given that it was a holiday. However, I ended up having some great one on one conversations, gathered prayer requests and collected the largest amount of food in a single day yet!
The picture at the right shows the wagon full of food that I collected. That’s right – my cart has become too small to carry the generous donations of food, so I am now using my wagon (that I’ve had since I was a kid) to carry the food home.
The table below shows the progress over the past three door to door outings as well as the totals since I started going door to door.

It turns out that from our conversation he felt convicted to join us on our witnessing event. We had a nice time of fellowship and handed out lots of tracts. It was really great for God to show me this other fruit of my door to door efforts that this man not only joined the tract club, but joined us witnessing. And, I expect he will be joining us again in the near future.
