2016 Final Countdown

Wow, its hard to believe the year is over. It was an interesting year to say the least. Lives being transformed by releasing the Word and watching the Holy Spirit work with it. Small obedience's go a long way in the Kingdom of God. We just need to obey, to follow and believe in His Word no matter what we see, hear or feel, easier said then done. Good news though my friends, as long as we don't throw in the towel He will finish the good work He has started in us. We are hitting the road on the 2nd for our New Years outreach in Texas at multiple truck stops and rest areas. Thank You all for your prayers and financial support throughout the year. Expecting great things in the upcoming year. May the blessings of the Lord over take you in 2017, physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and financially.

Chistmas Outreach

We had our Christmas outreach yesterday at Valley View Courts, a low income property. We served a great Chili dinner with corn bread, hot and cold drinks, plus goodies for dessert. Earl had great contact with a young couple, especially the wife who was open to hear about the gospel. The husband was a little uncomfortable and ended up going outside and never returning while his wife stayed for quite sometime. It is always so interesting to watch how the Holy Spirit moves in each individual as the Gospel is shared. For the remainder of the year we will spend the holidays with family, then off to Arkansas and Texas to begin our new year outreaches. Blessing upon all off you. Amen, Amen and Amen!

Rockton Plaza Event

Last night we gathered at Rockton Plaza. It is an 11 story residential complex. We did a pre-thanksgiving dinner. The dining hall was full of happy people who were so thankful to receive a hot meal, prayer and the Good News of Christ. We were also able to send food up to the shut ins who were unable to come down and gather with us. The prayer list is a powerful tool which opens up hearts to hear and receive the Gospel. Many were asking about our church in AR, as well as when we would return again. It was an uplifting evening for all.

New Territory

Great News Family,
We have arrived safe and sound to Upstate NY and are getting settled in. We are already seeing God's favor as HE is opening up new territory for us. We have scheduled two feedings at two different low income apartment developments. One on Nov.19th and one on Dec. 10th. We will serve, share God's Word and offer prayer and a prayer list. Earl will be making his famous chili dinner. Pray for God's hand to move through the people who come on those dates. Thank you always for uniting with us.

Last Outreach In Florida

We finished up our last Outreach here in Florida yesterday. Paid4U joined with Cutting Edge Ministries and served over 150 families. Earl helped pass out and carry the bags of groceries, while giving him a chance to talk with many individuals. Pam walked up and down the line of people while they waited to enter into the building offering prayer, sharing Jesus' love to them and listening to needs and stories. Next week the both of us will be completing medical appointments and finalizing our move to NY to prepare for more ministry opportunities there. Thank you all for your support and prayers.

Helping Others

When people hear and see you living out loud it draws them to seek you out and ask why. Why? Because we are Believers. We are Jesus's feet, hands, and mouth. The Bible tells us to, "Be imitators of God as dear children." (Eph.5:1) We have been asked by a few local ministries to help them feed, serve, and pass out food to those in need. We must remember that we are one body with one purpose and that is to advance the Kingdom of God for His glory.  We will be joining with these other ministries for this month and the next until we get ready to relocate once again. We will give more details on our next location at a later date. Thanks for all your prayers.

Latest Outreach

Paid4U joined with Cutting Edge Ministries yesterday to pass out food, drinks and Bibles to over 130 families. It was a great time of serving others and witnessing the gospel to them through the Loving Out Loud. We are working on another outreach in a few weeks.

Special Thanks

We would like to send out a special Thank You to all our sisters in Christ at REACH CHURCH who joined together in having a yard sale and donating all the funds to PAID4U Outreach Ministry. We were very touched at their generosity, thoughtfulness, and support. They sure did LOVE OUT LOUD. We appreciate your act of kindness ladies, THANK YOU!!!!

NY Trip

We just returned from a wonderful week in NY visiting family. The grandchildren have all grown and were lots of fun to be with. We met with the Leipharts, who feed in the inner city of Utica, NY and also have joined Free Ministries in SC serving the community there in many ways. We hope to join them in SC bringing our Paid4u format in reaching the lost.
We received a call this morning from Pastor Walker that he has to have surgery and will be out on medical leave until further notice. To our disappointment he had to cancel our speaking engagement this morning at his church and the back to school outreach that was scheduled for this upcoming Saturday. We will work on future events when he is able.

Future Events

We had another great opportunity to meet with Pastor Walker of Sunrise Baptist Church. We will be speaking at his church Sunday, August 7 and doing a Back to School Outreach on Saturday, August 13th. Pastor Walker shared with us that they have not done any outreach since starting the church three years ago. He is very excited to be joining with PAID4U and reaching out to his community.
We will also be heading to NY this week to meet with a couple who feed and witness in the inner city and also have an organization they work with in SC. They want us to share with us their ministry to see if we can connect in helping each other. While we are in NY we will make a stop to see Earl's son, brothers, and our grandkids. Thank you for all your support and prayers.

Never Clock Out

Many of us head into work and "clock in", do our work and then "clock out" when our day in done. Sadly, many of us also clock out with God. We clock in on Sunday morning as we head into our churches, get a little worship, word and fellowship in, and then clock out as we leave. We go about our week clocked out until we return again the following week. But what if we, Believers in Christ never clock out? Can you imagine the divine opportunities that HE sets up for us that we wouldn't miss?And are we not so thankful that God, himself, never clocks out on us? We sure are!! The Lord shared this message hands on while we were finishing up our 3 day outreach in Texas. We had just completed ministering to just shy of 900 people. We were physically and spiritually exhausted. Ready to clock out. We decided to treat ourselves to an ice coffee. We heard in our spirits, don't clock out on Me now.  We pulled into a local gas station and there before us were two teenage African American boys. One was sipping on a cold slushy drink while the other boy was trying to convince him to share. I said to Earl, " do you see that? That's not fair, why don't they both have one?" We got out of our car and Earl calls out, "hey, where is your drink? Why don't you have one?" Both boys had turned around and the one boy responded back, " cuz I don't have enough money to get my own." So, Earl, waves his hand and says, "come with us, we'll get you one. And, teasing the other boy, says, "and his is going to be even bigger so he'll have plenty left over to share with others." And all 4 of us walked into the store. We exchanged names and Greg got his big cold slushy. He grinned ear to ear. Earl also insisted that each boy get a candy bar too. The woman behind the counter asked us if we knew these boys. We told them no, we were actually from out of state and just passing through.' Then why would you buy this for them?' she asked. Earl told her, "because we want to bless them and let them know that Jesus loves them."  We connected with the boys outside before departing and gave them each a gospel  track. We got back into our car and praised the Lord for allowing us to stay on the clock.

The Basketball Team

Our first day during the 3 day outreach in Texas was really exciting. Every single person who we offered the gospel track to took it with gladness. We rejoice when this happens of course, and it wasn't that way on day three, but for day one we were on a roll.  Before we knew it the lobby was filled with 15 teenager boys ages 14 & 15. We soon learned that this young group of Spanish boys were an inner city basketball team.  Earl began joking with them and laughs broke out everywhere. They told us that they were actually pretty good and were heading to a tournament. Each boy took a gospel track and thanked us for the free cold drink and snack before heading back to their bus. Next the couch came in. He was so excited about what we were doing. He told us he is a Believer and shared what he could with them, but now would take this opportunity, as they had an hour and half left of their travels, to have them all read aloud the track together. He said many of them don't go to church at all. And for those who do, this was a true witnessing tool for them to understand why they need Christ. He thanked us and said, 'I'm believing their will be souls added to the Kingdom today because of this stop.'  PTL!!!

Testimonies from our last outreach

If you have witnessed to the lost about Jesus and His love, grace and salvation then you know it is what you live for. Our Spirits are still soaring from our last outreach in Texas. We thank God for that opportunity to share Him with 887 people. We had lots of people encouraged to share their faith as we were doing during these 3 days. One woman was crying over our commitment and willingness to travel such a distance for souls. She said it touched her heart to see Believers taking Jesus' commandment in Mark 16:15, "To GO into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere." (NLT) literally. We replied with Luke 17:10,  When you obey you should day, "we are not worthy of praise. We are servants who simply have done our duty."
  We also got to share the gospel with two of the workers who were there for two out of the 3 days. Pam began to preach to these men. It was great to see. One said he now understood how to get from being a sinner to being Saved...Jesus. He is the bridge. And would read the track we gave him with a new understanding. The other gentleman was all ears as Pam spoke and explained it wasn't our "goodness" but what Jesus did for us, and on the 3rd day, just as we were leaving, came running towards us. "Ask me", he said, "ask me that question you asked me yesterday if I'm going to go to heaven or hell?" So Pam asked the question she had the day before but he didn't know the answer to. He smiled and with joy in his heart he said, "I'm going to Heaven." Pam then asked him, "how do you know?" And Leon, replied with even more excitement, "because Jesus. He forgave me of all my sins. I now belong to Him." Hallelujah!! Praise The Lord!!
    Look towards our next post when we share some more stories that took place during these three great days sharing Jesus.

Special Thanks

We want to say a special Thank You to Steven and Brenda Theiss, who hosted us during our 5 day visit to Columbus, Texas to do our 3 day outreach. They both went above and beyond all that we could ask for. They filled the scripture in 1 John 3:18 and loved us out loud. We woke each morning to a homemade meal to start our day before heading off to minister the Gospel, Brenda prepared lunch for us to take so not to grow weary in doing good, and another home cooked meal each evening as we returned weary but excited. Their fellowship and friendship was priceless. Steven also donated the "Little Debbie" snacks we gave away for free and provided us with 20 Bibles, after we ran out of the ones we brought with us. They opened their home as if it was ours. Thank You for all the blessings!!
    These 3 days were amazing, and we will post different stories throughout this next week. We met Dr. Okorienta, CEO & President of Great Story International. He was so excited about what we were doing, and after speaking with Earl he gave us information about his International Ministry and said he would be in touch with us to see if we would be willing to take PAID4U to Africa. We are open to wherever God wants to take us. How exciting that would be for us. May God enlarge our territory if that is His will for us.

4th Of July Outreach

We were asked this question; " If the God of heaven loves you infinitely and wants you in His presence every moment, and if He knows that heaven is a much better place for you, then why on earth has He left us here?" The answer? "To minister the Gospel to others."
Our 4th of July outreach was amazing because we did just that. We were able to minister to 887 men, women, and children. We gave out 35 Bibles, over 500 ministry tracks and received Salvations right there on I-10 at a Rest Area in Columbus, Tx. We prayed for people, witnessed to professing Atheists, and encouraged other Believers during those 3 days. We also traveled 3400 miles, sat in a car for over 32 + hours, and sowed financially for gas, hotels, tracks, and other ministry items. We loved every minute of it and would do whatever it takes to advance our Fathers Kingdom.
 

July 4th Weekend Outreach

We are excited about this upcoming outreach. We will be heading to Texas to do a 3 day outreach at a Truck Stop this coming July 4th.  It is always a great opportunity to witness to the truck drivers and travelers. We will then meet up with a church in that area to do a Servalife, giving out gas with the gospel. Please pray for safe travels and for the hand of the Lord to be upon us.

Appointment Updates

We have been going up and down the east coast of Florida from Vero Beach to Palm City calling, emailing, and reaching out to over 60 different churches trying to bring the PAID4U/ SERVALIFE program. It has been a very interesting process to say the least. There doesn't seem to be an interest at this present time. We will continue to do follow- ups and expand our search. We are also setting up a July outreach. Working on dates and paperwork now. Please keep us in prayer.

Church Appointments

We have begun calling churches and setting up appointments to introduce the PAID4U/Servalife program. We had our first meeting today with Pastor J. Walker from Sunrise Church in Port St. Lucie, Fl. The meeting was a big hit and he was very excited about getting his church out into the community and partnering with us in a back to school servalife. He told us that he and his leadership team have been dissusing about doing an outreach since they have not done one in the past two years. It was great to see God's timing in all of this. We will follow up with him in a few weeks to arrange the dates for us to speak and teach the progam to the congragation. Please pray that other doors will open and those who we've contacted will respond.

Mens Meeting

Today I had the great honor to speak to the men's group at The Word Of Life Church in Bentonville, AR. It was a great turnout. God's Spirit was moving through the men as the Word was being released.  I prayed over men to be delivered from pornography and to encourage the others to step out when God calls them. Pastor Ron was very moved by the Word that was spoken and opened his doors to allow me to return whenever possible. Thank you God for enlarging my territory. May YOU LORD receive all the Praise.  Tomorrow we will be heading back to Florida to prepare and set up dates for more ministry work. Thank you for your prayers.

Wednesday Night Service

We have been here in Centerton, AR for the past week now, and have had a great time catching up with our church family and other friends. We had a speaking engagement at our home church Wednesday evening, which went great. We shared many stories about the past year about God's hand upon the ministry. Earl gave a quick testimony about how one small act of obedience lead to the birthing of it all. We would not be here today, 6 years later in full time ministry without saying "yes" to God's direction and calling. Saturday, Earl has been asked to speak at a men's meeting at a local church. God has given him a message and a powerful word for these men. I'm sure it will impact many lives. We know that one word from God can impact those who hear it more than anything man could ever say. We expect great things.   

Heading to AR

We are finishing up some work here in Florida. We are also getting Earl's dad situated with his nursing care as we prepare to head to AR this coming Friday. We will join our home church on Sunday for Worship & the Word, speak at Wednesday evening service sharing the ministry and again on the following Sunday at a local church in Bentonville, AR. Looking forward to seeing everyone back at REACH Church.

Mays Great Outreach

We had a great day passing out foodbags, praying for people and sharing Jesus with all. We served over 135 families giving a witnessing track to every one who came through. Some were open to prayer and a word of encouragement, while others were just thankful that there were people who showed they cared and gave an ear to listen to what they were going through. We could not stay to go into the community to pass out more food supplies as we usually do because Earl's dad had an unexpected doctors appointment that we needed to take him to. We are also helping a local single mother with 3 children with food and finacle help who is in need. We couldn't do any of this without the help the body of Christ and we thank you all for your support and faithfulness.

May Outreach

We have setup an outreach similar to last months event for the 10th of May. We thank God for Pastor Wendall who has allowed us to use his facilities. We will once again hand out food bags while sharing the Gospel of our Lord and Savior. We are expecting a great turnout. Please pray for those souls who will be attending this outreach.

April's Outreach

Last Sunday we had a chance to meet briefly with a Pastor who was interested in hearing more about the ministry. He is heading to South Africa this next week and will contact us when he returns to discuss more about if we can possibly unite together.
Today's outreach went great. In the morning hours we passed out food bags, tracks, and offered prayer to around 200 families. Then in the afternoon we hit the local neighborhoods to seek out those in great need, offering free loaves of bread. Supplies ran out so quickly we'll have to reload and return shortly. We want to thank everyone who is lifting us up in prayer. We truly appreciate it!!  We have just begun and can see God opening up huge doors in this area. Love & Blessings.

Breaking New Ground.

We have begun breaking ground in our new area, and what we often call, "plowing". It is like starting all over again, but we know with much patience and pursuing there will be a harvest in the end. We have a meeting with a local Pastor, who seemed very excited to learn more about what Paid4U is all about this Sunday after church. We are also working on an outreach event for next Tuesday. Please pray those doors will be opened and for a great turnout.
We want to thank everyone who has been praying for Earl's dad, David. He is still needing care 3 times a week, but is improving each and every day. The medical staff is very pleased with his progress this far, and we know it will only continue to do so.

Paid4U Update

We have moved to our new permanent residence with Earl's father, David. All was going well until a moving accident caused him to be taken to the local ER and then admitted. He under went surgery on his leg today due to a blood clot and a very serious infection. We will be getting those results any day now, but have already been told that it will be several weeks that he will need our total attention and  making sure that the wound heals properly and the infection does not return. We are praying for a total and quick recovery. 
We will be moving forward bringing the PAID4U ministry to the local areas, seeking out churches to share the ministry with, food pantries, soup kitchens, homeless, and other avenues. We are waiting for God's direction and doors to be opened. Thank you for your prayers. 

Texas Visit

We had a wonderful time in Texas visiting our sponsors. We were given the great opportunity to speak to The First Baptist Church in Columbus during their Wednesday evening service. Pam and I decided to tag-team and share what God has been doing since the last time we were in town, but Preacher Woman Pam began sharing and didn't want to stop. Before I knew it, the Pastor whispered to me that we have only 7 minutes left. I guess my turn to share this evening will be VERY short. haha  It went well and I was so proud of my wife for not missing a detail of our ministry.
We journeyed on to Arkansas, where our home church is. We had another wonderful visit with our church family, getting filled with amazing worship and an awesome message on Sunday. We were lifted up and encouraged throughout our stay and look forward to returning again shortly. We had some special time with our Pastors sharing our new vision and direction about the ministry, including some of the wonderful things that the Holy Spirit has been doing throughout the previous year.

On The Road Again

Tomorrow morning, Monday, February 29, we will be back on the road again. We will be traveling to Columbus, TX to visit some great friends and visit with the First Baptist Church. We will be sharing with them what we have been doing in the ministry during their Wednesday night service. After that we will head onward to FT. Worth, TX to see other supporters of our ministry. Our final destination will be AR to visit our church family and get refreshed and encouraged before heading out to a new location for further the Paid4U ministry.

February Update

We said our final goodbyes to our homeless men, who we are honored to call friends. We got lots of hugs and each one thanked us for all that we did. We explained that they too did much for us. They gave us their trust and friendship. They were excited to see us each week and welcomed us into their space and shared what little they had with us. That was precious to us, and we know they are precious to God. Before leaving we left more food bags, soups and a few extra items. They told us they would keep Jesus close to their hearts and know He is real and they will trust him no matter what. What more could we ask for.
We will also be finishing up this week at the RMH too. We have said some goodbyes so other volunteers, staff, and families. It has been a wonderful time sharing Jesus with them as well.
We will head farther south this next weekend to finish up some things before hitting the road for a new tour, while working our way to AR to visit our church family.

The Final Days of January

We ended this month by celebrating Pam's 48th Birthday on the 29th. We took a little road trip to Palm Beach Gardens to visit my Dad and have some family around to enjoy this great day of Pam's. She was blessed with some very special phone calls, text, cards, a dinner out, and a few gifts. And to those who know my wife, she couldn't go without blessing someone else to make her day complete. So, on Saturday when we returned to the Orlando area we stopped at the 7-Eleven to pick up some cat food, Ramon Noodles and a homemade Apple Pie before going to visit our new friends, Captain Rafael and the gang, our homeless men. They have adopted a stray cat and named her, Ruby, and had told us the 7-Eleven around the corner was allowing them to get a cup with hot water for the noodles, which are great for these cold and rainy days we are having. Pam also found a Max Lucado book for Rafael, as he told her he was his favorite Christian author. We were so excited to hear that Rafael and Carmelo have both found work. They couldn't wait to tell us this great news. Rafael is also moving forward in getting his original birth certificate to get his license back. The men are hoping the money from the new jobs will help them find a room to rent out and get off the streets. We pray this happens soon!! We shared with our new friends that next weekend would be our last visit with them as we are wrapping up our time at RMH and will be moving on.

Praise Report

A week ago yesterday we were blessed to have had the opportunity to go into Florida Hospital to pray with a family over their little baby boy, Heriel. The family was told their baby was in critical condition. He was having trouble breathing,his oxygen level was low, and he wasn't eating much. Plus they found out through a brain scan that half of his brain is bleeding internally on one side. Yesterday, while we were at the RMH the parents came to tell us the great news. Heriel was doing so well that they were moving him to another floor and in his own room. His breathing was much better, his oxygen level was higher and his intake of food has increased, all in just one week. They will also be removing his breathing tube.  Thank you Jesus!!  This has given hope to these parents and they are seeing God's healing, love and faithfulness first hand. Praise be to our God!!

Ministry Update

We have been witnessing to a family at the RMH, who on Monday evening, after we prayed for them. asked if we would come to the hospital and pray over their little boy. So, on Tuesday we went into the Florida Hospital NICU and prayed over 31b 40z little Heriel. On Thursday evening, while we were back at the house they came and told us they have already seen a difference in his oxygen level and he is breathing more on his own. They are giving credit to where credit is due, Jesus. PTL!!
We went to visit with our homeless men today. They too are giving Jesus all the glory for our help. Rafael, who I have nick-named, "captain", as he's in charge and helping all the others and keeps us updated on everyone, spoke with us today about how we show Jesus' love to them. He said the track inside the food bags have changed his and some of the others thinking. He asked how can he go to church every Sunday and they have not offered to do anything for him knowing he is homeless, and here we are coming back week after week to make sure they are alright?  He told us that he can see Jesus' love in us by our actions. James did say that faith without works is dead. People don't care what you have to say until they know you care. We stayed for quite awhile talking with them today and building their faith up in Christ. We are seeing the seeds starting to grown. It is not what you can't do, but what you can. A little love goes a long way and Christ can do a lot with little.

Seeds beginning to produce.

For the past month we have been witnessing and praying for an Indian family who are staying at the RMH. We have had many conversations about our faith with this family.  Why our faith is not about rituals or religion, but a relationship with our God. The One, True God. Why we can stand on His promises because it is about what Jesus has done, not on what we do. This family shared that they pray for hours a day, have gone and done all they were told by the many gods, and are low on faith as they have not seen any difference in their daughter's illness. On Tuesday night, while Earl was at the front desk at the house Mr. S. came and asked Earl to share Jesus with him. He wanted to know more about our God, who we praised and seemed to love so much. Earl was delighted. Mr. S. did not received Jesus as Lord, but we know he heard the truth and his heart was open for the Holy Spirit to move as He wishes. The family has now gone home and we wait to hear of their daughter's healing and their conversion to our Lord and Savior, for we know it is just a matter of time. When they arrived home they text us a picture of their entire family wishing us well and thanking us for sharing the gospel, our love, and giving them hope. 
We have continued to visit with our group of men, bringing them more food bags and items that they need. Friday we dropped off wooden pallets so they could sleep on something other than the hard, cold concrete. They were very thankful. We also gave them a few dollars to go buy some hot coffee at the store a block away as it was getting cold.

Saturday's Outreach

God blesses us so we can bless others. Every time we get an opportunity to bless someone, I believe it is God's way of blessing us right back. What joy this brings us. It is truly greater to give than to receive.
We went out Saturday in search of Eddie. We wanted to check on him and see if there were other things he needed that we could help with. Sadly, we did not find him. Instead we met Larry on a street corner. The first thing we noticed was he was wearing no shoes. After shaking his hand and introducing ourselves we asked him if he had any shoes. He said yes, they were just in his cart drying out from the rain the night before. We then handed Larry some new socks and hoped that would help while his shoes dried and to cover his bare feet. The second thing we noticed was Larry's wardrobe. It was some type of material, maybe an old blanket or rug, that he had draped over him and tied around his waist with a piece of rope. We gave him a jacket, which he was thrilled to have, a bottled water and food bag while we ministered the gospel to him. We continued on to our regular location, where the group of men who we've been witnessing to hangout, and were able to give those who needed rain ponchos, backpacks, jackets,waters and a food bag to. We were welcomed with friendly greetings, warm smiles and handshakes from our now trusted new friends, who introduced us quickly to a few new men who were there. One gentleman asked us if we had a Bible for him. He was excited when we said," yes, we sure do." The word is beginning to spread throughout the homeless community about the PAID4U Ministry.

Eddie

Today we headed out to restock our supplies for the homeless. Our first stop was a Family Dollar store. As we were loading up our cart with ponchos, more food, and other supplies Earl noticed a homeless man buying a small snack. He was concerned as he noticed this man was shaking and very fragile looking. Earl followed him out the door and spoke with him. He was cold, with very little clothing, which was torn and filthy. Eddie could barely get out his name, for he has trouble speaking, and spelt his name to Earl instead. Earl told him to wait one minute and went to our vehicle to grab a water and food bag, which includes a PAID4U gospel track. that we keep with us. Then Earl came back into the store and bought a nice warm hoodie for him. When Earl put the jacket on for him and zipped it up, Eddie let out a sigh as a way of saying, "thank you for the kindness", and smiled. Earl's heart was broken for the state of this man, so much so that he had to hold back tears knowing he needed medical attention but we couldn't do any more. We finished up there and then went to Walmart to pick up some socks, back packs and other supplies we could not find there. We will head back out this coming weekend to pass these items out.
We want to thank everyone for their love offerings as the ministry is growing and more supplies are needed, as people's needs are getting worse and worse. It's so hard to turn away from those in need. Our hearts want to help them all. Thank you for joining us in prayer and helping us to provide for those in need.

Weekend Outreach

We returned on Saturday night to our group of homeless men that we've been visiting weekly. Word has gotten out that we come with food and items, so there were many more there this evening. We  passed out all our food bags,waters, jackets, blankets & socks. It was late and cold and we asked if they were hungry. Since many said yes we drove a block or two and picked up some soda and hot pizzas. Boy, were they grateful for that. Earl got a chance to share his testimony about what God has done for him. It was powerful and the men seemed to appreciate him sharing. They asked if we could look for backpacks and hoodies. We will be restocking all our items as we know many more will be in need when we return again.

End of the Year Outreach

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
We spent New Year's Eve at the RMH serving up a great meal of Lasagna, garlic bread, salad, soda and cookies. They had a couple of new families check into the house, who we have added to our prayer list. We visited with Adam, who is doing great after his liver transplant, and enjoyed our time with some of the other families we've become close with.
Today we began the New Year by bringing snacks, water, socks, blankets & jackets to some of the homeless men we've been visiting with. We wanted to make sure they were o.k. as it's going to get much cooler tonight. We're praying that this upcoming year will be the biggest soul winning year
 yet for the Body of Christ. Let us all do our part. Time is running out. Blessings to you all.
