Ingleside Students' Towel Ministry

TOWEL MINISTRY
"Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth" 1 John 3:18

The towel in the "Towel Ministry" represents the towel that Jesus used to wipe the feet of His disciples (John 13:1-5). He showed them the full extent of His love. We believe Jesus set the example for us as leaders and servants. The purpose of the Towel Ministry is to share God's love in practical ways to the people right here in Macon, Ga.

Upcoming Events...

The student ministry is giving the kids at the Georgia Industrial Children's Home a Christmas party on Sat. Dec. 6th complete with at least 2 $15.00 gifts for each child. There are about 45-50 children at the home. Most of them are orphans and do not have a family or a home to go to. We will also provide them with a Secret Santa Shop where they can pick out a gift or two for someone that they would like to give a present to. We will provide them with a real Christmas tree and help them decorate. We are stringing popcorn, singing Christmas carols, serving hot chocolate and playing games.
Pizza, snacks and desserts will be served. You don't want to miss this event!

Recent Events...

Our November project went very well with the food drive resulting in a full pickup truck load of food items which we delivered during a prayer walk on Saturday, Nov. 15th. Several families were blessed by our food donations and prayers. After the prayer walk, some of the neighborhood kids joined us for some play time at Greater Belview Baptist Church. We all enjoyed meeting and praying with Pastor Colts and his wife, Tory, and we hope to work with them again in the future. Here are some photos.

October is Pastor Appreciation Month and we loved on our Pastors with homemade cookies and some yard work. Click here for pictures.

In September we demonstrated the free gift that God gives us through salvation by holding a free car wash. Here are some pictures.

Some of our other previous events include nursing home visits, a trip to the Children's Hospital, a picnic and a Christmas party with the Bibb County Mentors Program, and random acts of kindness at the Macon Mall where we gave away flowers and donuts.
