Every Friday Evening over the winter months, we meet at the food court in the Town Center Mall Downtown for a meal and bible discussion.

We at Burlington Street Ministries want to thank everyone who has supported us this year, it is only with your support that we can be that consistent presence downtown. We face a lot of challenges this year, drugs and related crimes are a growing problem, we pray that we can make a difference in the lives of these addicts.
Growing prostitution is also a concern of ours, especially when very young girls 14 - 16 are involved.We covet your prayers.
Your Missionary to the Streets,
Dave
