The United District Women’s Missionary Auxiliary (WMA) met on Oct. 4 at Grace Baptist Church in Russellville for our last quarterly meeting of 2025. Six district churches and 29 individuals were present and joined together to build “Blessing Buckets” in support of our BMA Just the Crumbs (JTC) disaster relief ministry.
When JTC first arrives in a disaster area, they desire to immediately make a difference even before they are fully set up to serve meals and provide other assistance. JTC identified this unique “Blessing Buckets” opportunity for us to assist them as part of their first response, and we are grateful for the vision of our United District WMA President Jessica Haden in challenging us to partner with JTC in this way.
At our last meeting in July, we set our hearts on meeting this need with a goal to provide 100 buckets and the Lord supplied! Lowe’s in Conway graciously donated 80 5-gallon buckets with lids and Tractor Supply Co. in Morrilton donated 20. A blessing not planned was that the donated buckets were red, white and blue! We are very grateful for the support of these neighboring businesses as they partnered with us to meet the needs of those impacted by disasters.
The district churches and church members gathered their contributions of Bibles, gospel tracts, cleaning supplies, gloves, paper towels, garbage bags, flashlights and first aid kits and rejoiced together in filling the buckets. Over $600 was also collected for JTC. More information on JTC can be found at justhecrumbsministries.com.
Please continue to pray for the JTC ministry and prayerfully consider how the Lord might use you, your church or your district WMA to meet these needs.
