What follows is a prime example of how God answers prayers in unexpected ways! We'd prayed many times, asking the Lord to bless and supply the needs of the food bank, those who came to the food bank for help, and those who gave to the food bank - we also asked Him to reveal Himself to all of us, volunteers, donors and clients, so that we would know that He was the one who was supplying, and

Working in a Christian food bank is an excellent way of introducing people to the awesome wonder-working power of God!  I was married to a man for 23 years, who had seen an awesome miracle - he'd actually watched a woman's leg grow at least six inches in a Kathryn Kuhlman meeting, but had been told, by his parents, and by his pastor, that he had been hypnotized, and it didn't really happen, and

As Joe watched in the food bank, the one thing that caught his attention was a shelf of cans of soup. The soup cans were extra large, 2 litre cans of Campbell's soup, donated by a local company, the kind that had enough soup for more than just a mouthful! We would put them on the shelf in the morning, and then give them out, only to the large families, because we didn't have enough to give one

As "Joe" (name changed to protect identity) challenged God to prove to him that He was actually working in the food bank, he watched the pile of empty egg cartons pile up on our top shelf. Occasionally we would receive eggs from our local supermarkets, that had been salvaged before being thrown out because there would be a broken one (or some broken ones), and we would use these empty cartons to

The faithfulness of God is so evident in a place where you're totally dependent upon Him to supply all your needs.  The food bank was one such place.  And our Christmas tree was one such item! It was nearing Christmas, and people had been donating some of their old or excess Christmas decorations to the food bank (we seemed to be the place where people would give things they just didn't know

Working in a food bank affords one the opportunity to see God work far more closely and intimately than almost anywhere else.  The following instances come to mind, connected with the same lady. When we received 'odd' donations, such as items of hardware, or shampoo, or the like, we would put them in our 'assorted, miscellaneous' bin, and as the helpers were placing the canned goods in the

Another time in the food bank, it was nearing the time of hallowe'en - not my favourite 'celebration' time of the year for sure, and we'd been receiving a few pumpkins from some of the local supermarkets. We didn't know what to do with them, and actually debated throwing them out, or cutting them up for people to make pumpkin pie with or something.  I really did not want to give them out whole

I'm reminded of a time when the Lord blessed some young men with a picnic. It was a day in the food bank when something very unusual happened - we'd actually run out of food - there were few times in the time that i'd ministered in the food bank when we actually had our cupboards, our freezers and our bins bare of anything edible.   This was one of those days. It was past four o'clock, which

For some years now, the Lord has been reminding me of a few stories from my past.  As they have aged, He's given me a perspective that comes from distance, and yet they are still as real as they were the day they happened. The first experience i want to share is from my time ministering in a Christian food bank.   Part of our ministry was spent in prayer for the people, asking the Lord to

The Lord reminded me that i have to testify of my healing miracle, in order to win the total victory.  To understand why this is a victory, you have to know the story. Here's the story!!In the Christmas season of 2004, i was spending Christmas looking after my parents' pets and home while they were away on holidays in the US. It had snowed like crazy, and i decided to be nice, and shovel the

I clearly remember the time in my life when i was beginning to wonder if there really was a God. I was about 17, and i was standing on the beach, by myself, looking across the water, thinking about the fact that i was there alone, but somewhere, very close across that bay were a whole bunch of people, at a Bible camp, doing Bible camp stuff! I really had no idea what "the Bible camp people"
