Today I am starting a new series of blogs that will be coming up from time to time, called, "Heroes of the Faith @ Providence." Romans 13:7 says, "Pay to all what is owed to them...respect to whom respect is owed, honor to whom honor is owed." And this last week, one great hero among us has served us so very, very well helping to mobilize us into areas of ministry to the poor and the needy - This hero would be Mr. Ron Goodman! Ron for the last couple of years has served the church so faithfully in organizing "Mercy ministry" to Prison Fellowship and then this year to Samaritan's Purse through Operation Christmas Child. As I have had the opportunity to walk with Ron, I see his heart, as I know many of you do as well, for those less fortunate. Ron, thank you so very, very much for how you have served us through the many hours of organization, attention to detail and your heart to serve. Last Saturday night was a wonderful time! Thank you for your sacrifice, your labors of love and your example! One day, I trust and know there will be many you will meet around the throne of Our Savior, that came to know Him through your obedient work, care and love for Christ. Thank you Ron for your example!
Likewise, folks if you would like to add your comments of thanks and appreciation to Ron, please feel free to do so in the comments section. Also, Ron is organizing a "work day" at the Operation Christmas Child distribution place in a couple of weeks, so be sure to contact him if you would like to serve that way. Thanks!

Mr. Goodman - thanks for organizing all this and being a blessing to us! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to glorify God by spreading the gospel to those children! You rock! ;)
Ron,
Thank you so very much for all your efforts in organizing this event for us. It was one of those "doing life together" moments that was so enjoyable for us as a church body, both adults and children, and yet it will bear fruit far beyond our walls. . .even into other countries. Thank you for leading the way! Carolyn
Thanks so much for doing this for those kids, but also for us. I was really touched by the little speech that you and Becky (I think that that was her name.) gave. I know when I say that, I can say that EVERYONE was touched by you being a servant in that way and helping us. Those kids might not no your name but God does and your reward will be in heavan with those children. (I hope that that makes at least a little bit of sense...);)
