Abundant Life Church donates over 200 pairs of shoes to elementary school students
On Monday, Nov. 5, Abundant Life Assembly of God in Century, Fla., visited Byrneville Elementary School and presented every student with a new pair of name brand canvas shoes. This presentation was the culmination of over 3 months of planning by the church. A partnership including Abundant Life A/G, Byrneville Elementary School and Convoy of Hope Rural Compassion made this distribution of new shoes possible. In September, Pastor Joey Johnson met with the principal of Byrneville Elementary, Mrs. Sullivan. At that time, it was agreed that the school would provide Abundant Life with the shoe sizes for each boy and girl in the school. This was a huge undertaking to measure all of the small feet and a great thanks is due for the school staff who were involved in this effort.
Members of Abundant Life assisted in the handing out of the shoes. Approximately 200 pairs of new shoes were given away. All of the children were excited to receive their new shoes.
