Ministers letter
Dear Friend,
We are glad to be a part of providing this nourishment from Angel Food to you. We all need food to sustain our physical lives. To have such good quality food at such an affordable price is a real plus for all of us. We hope that you will enjoy these great meals and come back each month for more tasty and nutritious food.
As important as this food is for our physical lives, we all have an inner spiritual hunger that needs to be satisfied as well. Whereas physical hunger causes our stomach to grumble and growl, spiritual hunger causes our lives to lack peace and contentment.
Jesus Christ came to this earth from heaven so that we might have that spiritual hunger satisfied. He once said to his Disciples, “I am the bread of life. He who believes in me will never be thirsty.” (John 6:35) Jesus was speaking of our spiritual hunger and thirst, of course, and his ability to meet all of our deepest needs.
If you sense that spiritual emptiness in your life and would like to talk with someone about how Jesus Christ can meet all of your spiritual needs, I would be very happy to share this with you. Please feel free to call me at the number provided in this brochure and let us know that you would like to discover how Jesus Christ can satisfy the spiritual longing that you feel in your life.
Thank you, and may God bless you,
Lonnie Davis
Southwest Minister
