Hands of the King
Our church at Shepherd’s Heart Fellowship in Osceola, Ind., has many outreach programs that extend heartfelt help to our neighbors, such as our monthly Community Meals and the Paper and Hygiene Products Pantry. But we found as we prayed for these individuals, and as we got to know them and we built relationships, that there were greater and deeper needs in our neighborhood. We also found, as we attempted to assist, there were not any programs built into our ministries to specifically help people outside the church congregation. Our resources were focused on the body, but not those unconnected. So we began a new ministry, which we deemed “Hands of the King.”
