If you love me, feed my sheep.

This verse keeps playing through my head. If you love me feed my sheep.Not only did Jesus use these words to reconcile Peter to the church, but this was one of the first orders of business for the church, if not THE first order. IF YOU LOVE ME FEED MY SHEEP! So what do we make of this mandate from Christ? Maybe he meant to feed their spirit ? Teach them your traditions, and the rules of your grandparents? Yeah, maybe not. It is very hard, if not impossible to feed the spirit when the stomach is empty. Project-44 garden ministry seems to be going into a new gear lately, and I feel that this is an answer to this very important question. If you can feed someones stomach, you gain their trust, and their attention. We are making partnerships all over Tarrant county, and trying to figure out how we answer this all important mandate. Please join us. Be thinking about how this can play out. Please be in prayer that the Holy Spirit is in constant attendance as we walk down this road. And ALWAYS remember that Jesus Christ said, IF YOU LOVE ME FEED MY SHEEP.
