Last year I joined San Francisco\u2019s City Impact, a nondenominational group doing outreach to inner-city residents. This was my first day visiting a public housing complex. The leader put me and another newbie in charge of handing out groceries<\/a>.<\/p>\n

My partner and I agreed we had the best job. Who didn\u2019t love food, especially when they couldn\u2019t afford much of it?<\/p>\n

\u201cNot everyone will need some,\u201d our leader reminded us. \u201cWe\u2019re also just here to talk, check in with people, pray with them if they want. It\u2019s about showing our love<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

The people on our assigned floors seemed happy to see us and our big box of supplies when we knocked\u2013all except one. \u201cI have company,\u201d he said. \u201cSorry. I have to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

He shut the door before we\u2019d even had time to offer him anything. Which might have been for the best. Our box was almost empty. \u201cWe\u2019re going to run out of food!\u201d I said. \u201cWe must be giving people too much.\u201d<\/p>\n

My partner and I looked at each other in alarm. Had we messed everything up? We had a whole floor of apartments left to visit! Lord, <\/em>I said silently, you fed the five thousand. Could you multiply this food the way you did the loaves and the fishes?<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI asked God to multiply the food<\/a>,\u201d I whispered to my partner.<\/p>\n

\u201cMe too!\u201d he whispered back.<\/p>\n

Visit by visit our supplies dwindled. We still had quite a few apartments left when I checked the box again: one lime and a can of soup. Soon those were gone. \u201cWe\u2019ll have to tell people we ran out,\u201d I said. \u201cWe really miscalculated.\u201d No way is God going to bail us out, <\/em>I told myself miserably.<\/p>\n

Just then someone came running down the hall. It was the impatient man from the floor above. His arms were full of groceries: cereal and cans of soup. \u201cHere,\u201d he said, putting them in the box. \u201cThought some of the other residents could use them. I\u2019ve got plenty this month. Gotta run!\u201d<\/p>\n

We had just enough for the apartments we still had left to visit. God had multiplied our groceries\u2013and multiplied our faith too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
