Great Outreach in Conroe/Huntsville!

What a busy time we have had in Conroe/ Huntsville, Texas. Paid4U fed over 600 people in a 3 week span, including campers, travelers, truck drivers and many others. Praise God for His strength!!
We were blessed to served 100 of the fire victims in the campground who were either evacuated from their homes or had lost a home due to one of the Texas fires.
God departed the fires for us as we traveled from one campground to the next as He directed us, leading us to the right campground at the right time for these people. Fires surrounded us, but God's protection is even greater!!! His power of deliverance was present as we prayed and witnessed to many in dire need and despair. The Holy Spirit has been given us the right words to share with those who He has brought into our path. All Praise and Glory to our Lord Jesus!!!!
Our next stop is Point, TX. East of Dallas. Please pray for our road trip and the next up-coming events for souls, souls, and souls.

Urgent Prayer Request


We just got done talking with the authorities were we are staying. We have been given permission to set up a buffet stye line to feed those who have lost there homes and the local community and helpers who are here due to the fires that are spreading. We are currently in Willis Texas but have 6 events planned for Huntsville Texas (Praying the Fire does not spread)
We were told that a morning breakfast would be helpful to them to start them off in the right direction as some will be allowed to go back to there homes to look for anything that may have survived the fire.
So much sadness and loss. Pray that our Lord will give us strenght and the right words to help those he sends in our path.

Update!

It was a great 6 days of serving the truck drivers and travelers here at the Columbus Rest Area on Interstate 10.
We served, witnessed and prayed for about 520 people. We had families from Scotland, Russia and one from the Philippians all who were intrigued at what PAID4U stood for; our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the blessing they received by seeing a simple act of love from strangers who in return wanted nothing.
They were excited to bring PAID4U back to their nations and share with others what they experienced here in America.
Many testimonies of hope, re-commitments and encouragement to build up their faith, and even as one Pastor spoke, an examination of self be ready for the coming of the Lord.

PAID4U's Labor Day Weekend BLAST!!

Paid4U was given the opportunity to put together a full weekend of events for all the campers at the Colorado River Campground. We began our Saturday with a Labor Day Parade around the campground decorating bikes and golf carts in our patriotic colors, banners and flags. All ages joined in on the fun. We followed that with some freeze pops to cool us down and then had a "Balloon Blast" with all the kids. As todays games were all created with water balloons. Each child won a glow in the dark necklace prize as all were winners in Jesus' eyes.
Dinner was served from 6-8, FREE for all, which included Hot dogs, chili, cheese sauce, chips, cookies and a cold drink. We ended the evening by hosting a Raffle drawing, which had 1st, 2nd & 3rd place prizes. All donated by PAID4U.
Sunday was another great day. We began by joining Rev. Hamman for morning service at the Activity Center. And off to the races again as we gathered for more games with the kids by the pool at 1pm.
There we watched little faces with big smiles bob for apples, race with a spoons of water to fill up their cup first, and more water balloon games. Freeze pops and more prizes were given out to all.
Then at 2:30pm we met for an Ice Cream Social and a chance for the adults to guess and win the money jar. Whoever guessed the total amount without going over won. The weekend came to an end with the second Raffle give away of prizes and a Movie Night with popcorn, candy and a cold drink. All ages came and enjoyed. All activities were sponsored by PAID4U Outreach Ministries.
