Hello,
As many of you know I spent most of December doing a food drive. I had originally planned to send all of the
donations to the Capital Area Food Bank in Washington D.C. When I tried
contacting they did not respond to any of my calls or emails (I attempted to
contact them at least 4 times and they did not answer). Since they did not answer my calls I decided
to find somewhere else to donate my food. I called the church (Grace Brethren
Church of Clinton) and asked if they had any idea what to do with all of the
food that I had collected. As it turned
out they had begun the process of starting a food bank. They had achieved nonprofit status with the
government but had barely any food. God in his providence used me to bless the
church and an unnamed number of people through your donations. With you guys help I collected over 400
pounds of food. I would like to formally thank you for all of your donations,
prayer and emotional support throughout this endeavor. Without you guys help
none of this would have been possible. You have helped an unknown number of
people by blessing them with food and through these donations, a person might
come to know Christ. Even though I did
not win the scholarship money, it is okay because I have blessed people. It
says in the bible in Mathew 25 : 34-36 Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed
by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the
creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me
something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a
stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I
was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’
That is my ultimate goal, not to win money for college. So if you think about
it, I did win in God’s eyes.
In Christ,
Adam Yisrael Edwards
