You know, a church body should not only be there as a building or a bunch of people. The church should, first off, worship God but also carry out His message. That's exactly what a church in Selma, NC did as they helped a teen get a prosthetic leg.
Seventeen year old, Charles Humphries, was diagnosed with bone cancer, eventually forcing doctors to amputate his right leg. The athlete was sidelined until his church, Wilson's Mills Baptist Church, was able to raise thousands of dollars to give Humphries a brand new, high performance prosthetic. The new leg made life much easier for the teen who had been struggling with his old prosthetic.

Although the new leg cost $70,000 the church was able to raise all the money through months of fundraisers spearheaded by fellow church member, Keith Branch. Last Friday, Charles was finally fitted for the new leg. Like the Bible says, we should all not just be listeners of the Word but doers as well. I think this church is a great example.
