Feeding the Hungry, Clothing the Naked, Sheltering the Homeless,
Preaching the Good News, Training Disciples! |

So many people ask me..."how many really stay changed?"
Out of 8,300 Homeless Repenters in our Church Services over the past 10 years, we see a few dozen, far less than 100, still on the streets.
That's right and we have documented each and every week to prove it!
8,300 Repenters responded to our Altar calls...under 100 are on the streets today!
No paid Staff, No Funding, No Church building, just Christian volunteers with a tent spreading God's love, pointing people to God.
You who support this ministry have every right to be proud of it!
Formerly Homeless Eric Hudson and Adam Shurter found God and a new way of life through
Layman Lessons Ministries. Both were awarded full time jobs this week, and want to thank you
for providing them with a Christian Men's Training Center that rescued them from the streets.
These two men have been my right hands on Saturday mornings and gathering food donations
during the week, so we can feed 2,000 homeless meals weekly. This ministry lost 2 great workers who deserved a second chance in life...and they will get it thanks to you. Note the smiles. God is in the life changing business friends...here are 2 more of the 8,300 in 10 years!
Baptist Missionary Leader Richard Gay leads 5 Homeless men making Professions of Faith!
Karrie Cherry does the cooking and setup this week...can you see God's light shining? Don't tell Karrie, or she might get the big head knowing God was smiling on her. I know I would!
MORE PRECIOUS MEMORIES! Wow, did you ever miss a Blessing!

Terrific Trained Volunteers Get it done...feeding 120, serving Coffee,
Iced Water, Hot Banquet Lunch, Clothing, and a Sack Lunch to go!

 Tom and Candy Alexander's terrific Life Group from The Bridge Fellowship, Mt Juliet, TN share the blessings today, with Grace(9) and Sarah(8) Martin clearly the stars today, carrying plates full of hot banquet lunch food from Chick Fil A and Olive Garden, or making the sandwiches for the sack lunches, and handing out the sack lunches.

Youth Groups come from across America to serve the Homeless and train with us. We need local Church groups to step up and provide a group of 10 volunteers for the 1st and 5th Saturdays each month.

Author, to provide you with absolute proof that America is still THE Christian Nation, and my 10 New State Laws that can turn our country back to God in just 6 months.
I also provide groups with vital truth about the Muslim/Islam/Sharia Law Totalitarian Government Political System, from public Muslim sources. Learn...our national survival depends on it.
