Toys for Tots

On Friday December 3rd, Grill For God joined in the effort to provide a merrier Christmas to needy children in the Triad.  The folks at Ward Black Law hosted an all day event to collect donations for Toys for Tots in Greensboro.  Grill For God grilled chicken and boxed up lunches for all donors and attendees.  We made a few new friends and demonstrated the spirit of  love and generosity which Christ taught us.

amigos en el ministerio

We cooked 68 whole chickens for Iglesia de Dios Nuevo Filadelfia, a recently developed Hispanic church in Statesville.  Great turn-out for this fundraiser and Pastor Sifredo Rivera could not have been more pleasant to work with. We helped them raise funds to further their ministry to Statesville's growing Hispanic community. The prayer of blessing that they prayed for us before we left remind's us still that all Christians are unified by faith in Jesus Christ. Gloria a dios! (Glory to God!)

An interesting thing happened as we prepared for this fundraiser... On the day before the cook out, while seasoning the chickens,we discovered that we were short on flatware for the event.  Jeff and Gene had been looking for plastic forks, knives, and spoons packaged together at the supermarket and did not find them.  At the exact moment we realized we were short, Cody (Supervisor at Holland Transfer Co.) came around the corner with a pallet of Wendy’s pre-packaged plastic-ware that had just been released to us.  God came through at just the right time!

unique youth ministry

We cooked 60 chickens to raise money for Power Cross, an outreach ministry dedicated to helping at-risk youths.  They provide a positive Christian environment for kids with athletic programs, study help, and events. The funds we were able to raise provided support for their football program and ministry efforts.  It was our privilege to partner with this ministry and we look forward to watching them grow.
