In a conversation with a member of the American Church in Berlin (ACB) today I was reminded to “practice what we preach”. Or in other words, we are called to put our beliefs into practice.
The ACB Laib und Seele (Loaf and Soul) food pantry does exactly that, providing fresh food stuffs and other groceries to about sixty families on a weekly basis. Food is donated by cooperating groceries and distributed on site at ACB every Friday afternoon with help from church members and, this week, volunteer Americans.
If the Lord's directive is to feed the hungry, ACB does that in a most direct and tangible way, regularly and generously.
I am thinking that ABC does more than feeding the body. It also serves to feed the soul, and not only the souls of those who receive the food, but those who give out the food as well.
