A Note from Dr. Ike

“Every day at MUST Ministries, we see what we like to call “MUST Miracles” happening all around us. People of all ages, all backgrounds and all walks of life come to MUST for help, hope and a chance at stability. Sometimes, their MUST Miracles are lunch for the day. Other times, it’s shelter from life-threatening weather conditions. Have no doubt that our neighbors are in need. We see it in the scared eyes of a single mother who just wants to be able to feed her children. We see it in the forlorn face of an elderly veteran who has spent decades trying to find his way in this life. We see it in the joy of a child who finally receives a new pair of shoes. We see the need here at MUST, and I invite you to see it as well. As the Bible says in 1 John 3: 17-18, “If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech, but with actions and in truth.”
