 Feeding the Hungry, Clothing the Naked, Sheltering the Homeless,
Preaching the Good News, Training Disciples!
TRAINING YOUTH, TEENS, COLLEGE, and ADULTS FROM ALL ACROSS AMERICA!

8,383 Homeless have now found God at our Mobile Homeless Ministries since 2003! 
  We see fewer than 100 of these remaining  on the streets today!
  
Layman Lessons Ministries now feeding homeless on Tuesdays, Thursdays with The Belmont Church,16th Ave S!
We also provide donated food for 2,000 Homeless meals each week to our Nashville Rescue Mission, and other worthy war zone partners.
 
You expanded your outreach by our adding the Belmont Church, who feed the Homeless on Sundays at 2pm.  Because of our partnership with Belmont Church, we provide enough food for them to expand their feeding to Tuesday and Thursday lunchtime!  Pam Cavala with Belmont Church and I joined forces several months ago, with our mutual goal to expand their weekly outreach to feed the homeless another day or two each week, and our consistent provision of food donations we collect weekly has enabled us to realize this expansion!  Please thank our Food Donors below with your business!
 
 
Hot Banquet Lunch of prime Chicken from Chick Fil A Rivergate, our sponsor since 2003, Italian Sausage, Meat Balls, Lasagna, Pasta from Olive Garden in Rivergate
and Hickory Hollow, Baked Potatoes from Red Lobsters and Longhorn Steak House, Bread, deserts, snacks from Publix in Hermitage and Antioch.


No wonder the Homeless love to have Church with us on Saturdays!  160 Homeless are waiting at their tables for our volunteers to serve this awesome hot food with hot coffee and  "a cup of cold water in Jesus name"...as you can see, most want to stay.

All who serve do so with great joy to be able to do work for the Lord to Feed the Hungry, Clothe the Naked... The Bridge Fellowship provided 2 Life Groups today for plenty of help!

 CLOTHES NEEDED - COLD WEATHER MEN'S CLOTHES!
Can we count on YOU & YOUR CHURCH to collect warm Clothes?
Are clothes in your closets that would clothe a Homeless person in desperate need?

Are funds in your storage barns that could help pay costs to gather surplus food and clothing for the Homeless?

Are minutes in your life to obey God...to  "Feed the Hungry, Clothe the Naked,
Shelter the Homeless, Preach the Gospel, Make Disciples?"
 THANK YOU WHO DONATE OR COLLECT THESE VITAL CLOTHES!

Please email today your interests in bringing your Group
to us in Nashville, TN for safe, secure hands-on Training in Homeless Ministries. 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. 

I am available to bring the Truth to your Radio or Television audience, Church, School, Civic Group about Homelessness, Addiction, how to organize and implement your own local Mobile Homeless Street Ministries with limited funding...all from someone with decades of service, who has personally lived with the Homeless for 3 years.

Also, some Shameless Self Promotion...

I am speaking on the upcoming "Lame Duck Tour", so look for it near you.
 
I am available to speak to your Church, School or Civic Group as a Christian Patriot, Historian, 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 months.

I also provide groups with vital truth about our Constitutionally protected Christianity and the Muslim/Islam/Sharia Law Totalitarian Government Political System, from public Muslim sources.  Learn...our national survival depends on it.  I furnished an Amicus Curiae Brief for the Chancellor of Rutherford County with vital historical information that will hopefully prevent that mosque from being built, and any other building where people gather to worship any god other than "God of the Holy Bible", the one true God America is built on.

Pray for the "Christian Patriots" books and media programs I create and produce, for God's Glory and for Old Glory!
