No matter how people show up —walking up with kids in tow or pulling up in the […]
A few weeks ago, we had the privilege of joining Life Family Bastrop for a Sunday morning service. Pastor Andrew invited our team to share about the mission and heart behind Feed the Need Missions, and to celebrate what God is doing through our weekly community sites here in Bastrop County.
