Peace From a Pallet: Fort Worth Church Turns Discarded Wood Into Faith, Food and Fellowship. CBS:  https://youtu.be/1zFbKLdHgkA?is=p0-4HmyL4f-nqMAh FORT WORTH, Texas 76104  — On a vacant lot, an old grocery pallet may not look like much. But to New Mount Rose Missionary Baptist Church, it represents something greater: a chance to feed families, heal neighborhoods, and grow hope. The church’s new initiative, Peace From a Pallet , repurposes discarded wooden pallets into raised garden boxes capable of producing fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs for families across Fort Worth’s historic 76104 community.

It is found in obedience, service, sacrifice, and faithfulness to God’s calling ( https://youtu.be/T7PeAaZkkwI?is=5yI2LvFnri5QDc_A ). For me, the goal has never been to become rich, build a personal empire, or seek public recognition. My desire is simple: I just want to do God’s will. I was raised by a hardworking single mother who taught me the value of faith, perseverance, and service. Throughout my life, God has opened doors for me to serve as a pastor, mentor, advocate, educator, and community servant. Whether feeding the hungry, helping families recover from...
