Summer of Ministry

It has always amazes me when we see God among the people on the streets in unusual places and people.  I have meet so many homeless and street people who are living an incredible living vital faith and even sharing Jesus with other street people.  Faith is alive and well on the streets.  I doesn't look like the typical evangelical faith and life we see in our traditional churches.  These believers are homeless, some have mental issues, some are even addicts.  Most of these know so well that they have screwed up their lives and only by God's grace and faith in Him that they can go on.

I find a refreshing honest faith being lived out on the street.  I found this video that is amazing, which show a homeless man coming across a Christian singing on the street and the praise and worship that breaks out among them.  Watch it here, http://www.godvine.com/Homeless-Man-Joins-a-Musician-for-a-Moving-Performance-653.html

From July - September, we were able to:
Give out 994 bibles
Have personal meetings with 234 individuals to share about faith in christ.
Gave out 1,909 $5 gift cards to McDonald's and/or Bruegger's Bagels to homeless and low income people in need.
Gave out 2,899 bags of groceries to hungry people.
We saw 4 people come to faith in Christ.

Now our winter ministry begins, we move indoors, but the work continues.  We are so grateful for your support so we can minister to the people who call the streets home.
