Greetings from the Streets,

Please remember to keep the homeless, and the extreme low income folks in your prayers this week as we all sit in front of a full table and enjoy the fellowship of family and friends. Many will have none of this on Thursday.

The upcoming Holiday Season is a very hard time for the poor. For us, it is one of our best time of the year for ministry. As we help with physical needs such as food, we have the best opportunity to sit down and have a real conversation about spiritual matters.

A couple of needs we have for this time of the year.

McDonald's gift certificates
Postage stamps
Finances to help get us through the winter.

Remember, we are running a mini fundraiser,
if you buy some art, 100% of proceeds will go for our winter ministry to needy families.
Consider giving the gift of art this Christmas and help Burlington Street Ministries at the same time. here is the link, check it out. http://daverussell.exposuremanager.com/g/special_sale


Please pray for our staff to keep healthy, pray for the new folks coming to our Friday Evening Bible study, and pray for open doors to minister to new people we meet over the winter season.
