Overview
Mission
The evangelization of the lost with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. The outreaches of the ministry will include ministry to the homeless, transients and runaways in the United States. To reach these specific groups of people we will fill backpacks and other bags with items that would be of use for them. While providing the needed items this opens the door of conversation for us to witness unto them of the Gospel. We also encourage them to get involved in local churches and inform them of any rehab, addiction recovery, shelters or similar places to aid them in getting off the streets and living productive lives. These items and aide will be given out to anyone needing help without regard to race, religion or ethnicity.
What it reported doing in 2025
Homeless outreach distribution of blankets, socks, sleeping bags, coats, shoes, Bibles, religious material, tents, bicycles, food boxes, pet items, diapers, pillows, sanitizer, hygiene items, etc. to approximately 412 people.
