We received a slew of thank you letters for our benevolence donations to Lancaster Theological Seminary, Phoebe Homes and Bethany Children’s Home. Each month we make a disbursement to these PNEC associated organizations to fulfill our annual budgeted benevolence support. Without us and other congregations that refuse to abandon them, these very important ministries would not be able to function and many people would be left with nowhere to go, literally.
But He was pierced for our offenses, He was crushed for our wrongdoings; The punishment for our well-being was laid upon Him, And by His wounds we are healed. All of us, like sheep, have gone astray, Each of us has turned to his own way; But the LORD has caused the wrongdoing of us all To fall on Him. — Isaiah 53:5-6 (NASV)
