Is it possible for Christians to be of service to God and to others even while staying in the comforts of their own homes? A pastor's daughter from the United Kingdom shows this can very well be done.

June Ross, a former stay-at-home mother, was recently awarded The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire for Voluntary Service—the highest award given to voluntary groups in the U.K.—for her efforts to feed the hungry in her country.

Ross heads the charity called Esther Community Enterprises, which serves quality food to 20,000 needy people from the U.K. every month.

"There was a certificate given and signed by the Queen, and what was nice was the fact that part of it said that 'we bestow favour' which is the journey that Esther when on when she received favour from the King. In my instance, I received it from the Queen," Ross told CBN News.

"I'm privileged that God could ask me to do this. I think more than anything else, that God could trust me with something like this," she added.

Ross revealed that God revealed her mission to her one day when she was doing the most ordinary thing: vacuuming the rug in her house.

"I heard a very distinct voice: I'm going to feed you with manna. Manna? Where did I hear that from? And then I remembered the story of the children of Israel when they left Egypt and God made provisions with manna," she shared.

She also claimed to have had visions of the economic crisis in 2008, and of her giving away food from the supermarket for hungry people.

"I said, God, I don't know how this is going to be done, but I will just be obedient," she shared.

Ross then decided to talk to local retailers about what they do to their leftover food, which they turn out to be just throwing away. She then decided to turn her home into a food distribution hub.

"It was just amazing how they were so welcoming because obviously retailers did not want to throw away their food," she shared.

Eventually, her charity grew, with crates of food supplies being delivered to her home, and now with 4,000 people helping her from the initial 10 volunteers.
