The man had a grin come across his face before our turkey-filled Chevy Suburban even came to a stop. "Would you like a turkey for Thanksgiving?" Joe yelled out the car window. The man's smile said it all, and he yelled back something like, "You bet I would!" We hadn't even handed him the turkey before he was praising God. "God is good! Ohhh, God is good!" Joe Moore and I handed out 16 turkeys in South Vero, Gifford, and Vero Lake Estates yesterday. We purchased the turkeys from Publix with some of your generous contributions to FCA. The price of these turkeys, unfortunately, was more than double what it was last year due to the impact of Covid-19. The turkeys went fast. But it was a blessing for us to be able to make a small difference for some families this Thanksgiving. He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way to be generous in every way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. -2 Corinthians 9:10-11 Next year, we hope and pray Indian River FCA will be able to put together a few teams of adults and teens to give away 60 (or more!) turkeys along with baskets of canned goods to families across the county in the name of Jesus Christ. So, to you we say THANK YOU! Your generosity is producing thanksgivings to God! May his blessings pour out on you and your family. This is just one of so many ways your monetary and prayer support is impacting our area for the Kingdom, bringing awareness to FCA and helping us in our mission to bring every coach and athlete into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ and his church. Happy Thanksgiving! Love ya, JR Now we live. 1 Thessalonians 3:8
