“Ministry is not an option for a Christian; it’s a privilege.”

We had the unique pleasure of working together with one of our partner ministries Wednesday evening, the Austin Diaper Bank. This is a vital ministry which provides much needed diapers and other baby supplies to our community! They asked if they could come do a survey of willing clients to help provide needed data. While we usually just pick up our order from their local warehouse, there is little interaction with their staff. It was tremendous to have them on the premises and they also provided some valuable information to both the clients and us! Thank you ADB! Here is a link to their website if you would like to see what they are doing or even donate!
