“‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the
Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
Jesus of Nazareth, (Matt 27:37-40 NIV)
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is
not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with
the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
The Apostle Paul, (1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
Although we are not Catholic, Matt, age 12, attends St. Benedict's School because we think it if important
he attend a school where God is honored. Pope John XXIII called for a "new Pentecost," during Vatican II (1962) believing
Protestants are "separated brethren." We share this view believing all Christians are brothers and sisters in Christ.

"Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over…"
Jesus of Nazareth, Luke 6:38 NIV

Life Outreach International
LIFE's Mission Feeding ministry is taking much needed food to areas on the continent of Africa where war, famine, drought and poverty have taken
their toll on the people. Food factories in Mozambique and Angola are providing enough food to feed more than 250,000 starving
children, mothers, elderly people, and people with disabilities each month.
LIFE's "Water for Life" outreach utilizes a portable drilling rig to dig wells up to 1,000 feet deep in even the hardest
to reach areas of Africa to provide much needed clean drinking water to communities.
The Mashiah Foundation of Nigeria (Our response to the AIDS crisis) provides care and support along
with education and awareness to those hit hardest by AIDS. They have a youth ministry, provide food for widows
and school fees and shelter for orphans. They do a great work for those with great need. I had the opportunity
to hear a presentation from two missionaries who work with this organization at my church. They moved me to put a link
on this site praying that people will consider planting a seed of faith in this fertile ground. Their link is:
