Impact Sunday with the Garner Twins on Scholarships

About this sermon

Hello Fabulous Family of faith otherwise known as Friendship-West. Over the last 42 years you, the members have been very impactful in the lives of many people including students seeking higher education. It’s because of members like you, that we are able to be a blessing to others who may not be as fortunate as you, or simply needs a little financial assistance. And we are so grateful for your impact. Meet Jarvis and Jamal Garner, twin brothers that have basically grown up at Friendship-West after being displaced due to hurricane Katrina… This video serves as a living testimony to God’s goodness and your willingness to make an impact in the lives of others. Dr. Haynes always stresses the importance of giving to others in need, giving to the least of these, and giving to people who may not ever pay you back. But that’s the beauty of it. We give to the kingdom of GOD, and in return God blesses us in abundance, especially when we give in the spirit of gladness. This goes along with the scripture "now unto him who is able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all we can ask or think." These two young men probably never thought in a million years that they would get financial assistance from their new church home after all they had been through with Hurricane Katrina. They lost everything, had to move to a new state and a new Church home, and you showed up and showed out. That deserves a pat on the back and a standing ovation, and this was all possible because of GOD and you, the members of Friendship-West. Thank you, Family, for your continued generosity and willingness to give to those in need.
