Welcome!

Welcome to 5-2 Ministry's home on the web! We have created this blog as a way to help you stay informed about this ministry and its purpose, as well as to provide a means to obtain information about what God is accomplishing through 5-2 Ministry in our community.

Through God's divine blessing, 5-2 Ministry exists to provide abundant food and necessities to those in need through donations to the Southeast Gwinnett Cooperative Ministry. 5-2 Ministry was born from a desire to respond to God's blessings in our own lives by serving those who are in need in our community. We feel that He is guiding us on a path which will enable us to multiply our resources in a way which will benefit many families who are currently struggling to put food on their tables.

As this ministry begins, we are blessed to have the support of the Cornerstone Sunday School Class at Snellville United Methodist Church. This group has been amazingly supportive of the efforts to get this ministry off the ground. From the very beginning, their enthusiasm and their willingness to do whatever it takes to make this effort succeed has been overwhelming. They have responded not only with financial support, but also through donations of grocery coupons and volunteer hours. People are cheerfully signing up to clip coupons, shop, and deliver groceries to the co-op, and through them God is meeting each need of this ministry which has been lifted to Him. We have already seen prayers answered as individuals have stepped in and volunteered to use their time and talents in key areas where they were crucially needed, and God's timing has been perfect in every circumstance. We are expecting great things to happen as He continues to work through these willing servants!

As we all know, there are many among us who are facing hardships right now. As 5-2 Ministry begins, please pray that God will continue to give us the discernment to know the path he intends for this ministry to take, and the wisdom and resources to enable us to follow that path. Please also pray for the volunteers who are giving so generously of themselves to make this a success. Most importantly, though, please pray for the families whose lives will be touched through 5-2 Ministry and that through our efforts, there will be abundant food available for these precious children of God.

  1. Becky-love the graphics you came up with, using the fish encircling the loaf of bread in the word "ministry".
