Multiplying Loaves & Fishes

 
The Feeding of the 5,000 is the only miracle (apart from the resurrection) which is present in all four canonical Gospels: Matthew 14:13-21, Mark 6:31-44, Luke 9:10-17 & John 6:5-15. 
 
The narrative tells the story of thousands of people who were following Jesus and became hungry. Five loaves and two fish would never satisfy everyone, but when placed in the hands of the Master, it multiplied and everyone was satisfied, with baskets of leftovers. The lesson in the story is this: What do you have in your hands? What  are your loaves and fish, and are you willing to place those in the hands of the Master to be multiplied?
 
As we approach the end of this year and, with excitement, move into 2016, the team at Mission Southside, along with a fiscally responsible Advisory Board, challenges you to put a portion of your financial loaves and fishes in the hands of Jesus through Mission Southside.
 
Our projected 2016 budget is just under $440,000, a small increase from 2015. Won’t you consider making a sacrificial year end gift as we continue our good work?
 
 
Support Mission Southside so they can bring Help and Hope to those in need. Your generous support allows us to accomplish so much in the lives of those in our community who are in need.
