Serving on Saturday

Saturday about 15 folks from our Bible Study class served at ECHO, a local mission ministry here in Lee County. It was ECHO's Super Saturday where they have a huge plant sale, give tours and do agricultural workshops all day.

ECHO is a really cool missions organization whose mission is "to network with community leaders in developing countries to seek hunger solutions for families growing food under difficult conditions."There vision is to " bring glory to God and a blessing to mankind by using science and technology to help the poor." Instead of just trying to give money to the poor around the world, they help educate people so they can learn to provide for themselves and their communities.

Saturday we served primarily by assisting with parking for the event and some moving of plants. The weather put a little damper on the event, but it was awesome to get out and serve together.

Way to go class!
