Dedicating Fee Fee’s Kitchen

The forecast called for storms on Saturday, May 15th but the only thunder we heard was the applause for the Lord as Fee Fee’s Kitchen was dedicated to His service.

A crowd of more than 50 people came out to help Calvin and Fee Fee Jones celebrate the grand opening of their new kitchen (Fee Fee’s Crowd 1 & 2).   Every month Calvin and Fee Fee cook for and feed more than 800 people.  The new kitchen will offer them much more space with much better appliances.  (This is the old kitchen! –Warren Bad Storage roof)

This dedication would never have happened had it not been for Jimmy Boyd of Mt. Olivet United Methodist Church.  (I’ll send another picture of Jimmy on his tractor)  He was a big help in building Calvin and Fee Fee’s new house but he single handedly built the kitchen!

Before we could make use of the new kitchen Fee Fee needed to be schooled in the use of those big, fake, oversized chamber of commerce scissors.  (Big Scissors)  But they handled the little ones just fine! (Ribbon Cutting).

Your prayers and financial support make things like this happen and with increasing frequency!  Thank you so much

Jerusalem Now: Eudora Mission Trip

Our summer mission trip to the Arkansas Delta town of Eudora will take place August 4th-9th. This will be our second trip to Eudora after two previous trips to Dermott and one to Lake Village. Just like last year we will help Gloryland Family Fellowship with their ongoing outreach to the community, help lead vacation bible school, assist with afternoon lunches, and conduct a Friday afternoon football camp. But the big project currently on the agenda will be the construction of a gymnasium that will be used not only for athletic purposes but as a base for after school tutoring, mentoring, GED classes and job training.

Costs

Costs for this year’s trip will be $100 per person plus as much non-perishable food as you can bring! Make your check payable to Beautiful Feet Ministry and put Jerusalem, Now! in the memo line.

About Eudora

Eudora is a small community, with a population of 2,819, located in Southeast Arkansas (as far southeast as you can possibly go!). For several years, Matt Mosler and Beautiful Feet have had a passion to reach and serve those living in this area. It’s a forgotten place with beautiful people. A couple of years ago, Eudora lost its public school system. The town has been in distress ever since. At least 40% of the population live below the poverty line.
