Right then, Lisa began a ministry that would eventually become the Drexel & Honeybee's Restaurant. The couple went on to feed thousands of hungry people over the years from veterans to college students.
"People ask us all the time, 'Why do you do it?'" Lisa says. "I can honestly say, it's because God led us here."
The couple visited the local campus of Jefferson Davis Community College. There Lisa noticed two students gathering up change to buy food from vending machines.
That's when she realized that there were probably lots of hungry college students on campus. It wasn't long till they were serving delicious Sunday-style meals for students. All they asked in return? Donations from those who could give.
