What good does it do?

• Testimonies from CCN Angel Food
• I haven't worked a ton with this ministry, but I
  can tell you that as a pastor, I love that
  children and teenagers can serve within it. It's
  one of my favorite things to see whole families
  working side by side for the Kingdom and Angel
  Food is exactly that opportunity. I have also
  heard from other families I've been working with
  that the Angel Food boxes have been life savers
  for them. Keep up the great work with this and
  let this other church know that it's worth the
  time and effort to be a blessing!  You

  fresh fruit and some vegetables, the box of food
  will supply my food needs for a month.  I am so

  blessing you.  I pray for all your workers.
