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! |

Bank Balance $73 due to blown engine replaced this week for $1,200 and we replaced critical worn out equipment as well. It took all but $73 to get up to speed.
Remember we now contract setup and take down supervision, as we have not had enough volunteers to do it. Volunteers now get more interaction time with the Homeless instead of setup work, so come on back and share the blessing!
Crosspoint Church, West Nashville, came to work today and shared the blessing! It is the service call given to every one of God's children to Feed the Hungry, Clothe the Naked, Shelter the Homeless, Preach the Good News, and Train Disciples. It is seeing our love in action, in brutal weather circumstances, like 19 degrees today, that the Homeless see in action, that melts their hearts. It is the Praise and Worship music that carries anointing from our lips to the human ears that pierces the heart to draw near to God. When this activity is covered in the prayers of God's people, God is moved to mercy acts, and when God is moved to grant Mercy and Grace to sinners...Revival is the result.
Chuck Klusener oversees our hot Food Service, which Crosspoint served smiling.
 Crosspoint Church, Bubba Ghee, Chuck Klusener, Steve Sinclair, Bill Gemmill, makingPeanut Butter sandwiches, assembling sack lunches, packing goodies to go... ok,
today thanks to Publix in Hermitage, our sack lunches had 2-3 pieces of premium Whitman Chocolates among the goodies we have become known for serving up.
Martha Pfeil sings "He Knows Your Name"...is it just me, or is that the most amazing thought I dare imagine? Our Homeless crowd perked up their ears, held their heads up higher, were extremely attentive to God's word. Martha is one of our Board Members, prayer warrior, and takes ownership of our ministry, for the past few months taking on our Clothes Bus to get it ready working during the week to collect clothing and Saturdays organizing it.
15 Homeless Repenters came forward to find God today, of which these 7 below
were counseled by Pastor/Elder Richard Gay and led to Professions of Faith, each declaring they were determined to live their remaining days by living Gods ways,
not our own.
 Below 2 Judson Baptist Church men, American Airlines Pilot Steve Sinclair and Educator Bill Gemmill felt the honor of sharing the blessing while praying with Homless men repenting and declaring they want to let God rule their lives from this day forward. It is an honor.
Mike Foust from The Bridge Fellowship in Mt Juliet, shows the Christian maturity most lack when counseling the Homeless spiritually...it is called "listening prayerfully" while a stranger pours out their heat in confession, repentance, with their cry for mercy. Too many times volunteers I see simply talk too much, instead of listening prayerfully to repenters. God has already convicted their hearts, drawn them to Himself in repentance to make confession and cleanse their hearts before God... a mini sermon or personal story interferes tragically. Thank You Crosspoint Church for being our core volunteer group in 19 degree cold today! |

PRAYER WARRIORS, DRIVERS, DONORS! |
 GOD CAN USE YOU...New Year Calling You? JOIN HIS ALL VOLUNTEER
ARMY OF COMPASSION!
If you can pray one minute every week for this ministry...God can use YOU! If you can phone, email or sort food/clothing for this ministry...God can use YOU! If you can DRIVE, pick up food donations for this ministry...God can use YOU! BANK BALANCE...$73 PRAISE REPORT AND PRAYER REQUESTS... GREAT ATTORNEY STEPPED UP AND HAS ALREADY SETTLED ONE CASE! OPERATIONS SUPERVISOR FOR SATURDAY SETUP IS ON THE JOB! (So Volunteers can have more time for personal Homeless MINISTRY, to LISTEN & PRAY!) Our diesel Chevy Step Van is now redeemed by The Bridge Fellowship, Mt Juliet, TN so we need an inside place to put it to work on repairing the motor. It was down 18 months. VOLVO MOTOR BLEW...BUT WE HAD THE FUNDS TO INSTALL A GOOD USED MOTOR! FORMER MINISTRY ENEMY REPENTS...REMOVED SLANDER WEBSITE! WOW! NEEDS... OPERATIONS FUNDING...we need regular, dependable funding for our new Operations Supervisor, Ben Floyd, 28 year old student at Nashville Auto Diesel College and a U.S. Marine who served 5 years. Ben is contracted to insure that our Saturday Street Ministry gets set up and taken down each week, so our Church volunteers can spend more time sharing directly with our Homeless guests. Ben will also oversee transportation of our food collections and distribution efforts. We welcome Ben and need to provide for his service to our Ministries to lead our Operations efforts. This does not mean we do not need volunteers because Ben cannot do it all by himself, no more than I could or anyone else...it takes us all to get it done and we still need a minimum of 8-12 volunteers each and every week to get the work done. What it does mean, is that now we should never have to cancel again because nobody showed up to help. I could not stand by and let that happen again, so if we cannot get volunteers from Churches, we now have Ben. There are expenses, as Ben also runs the food collection routes each week. SATURDAY MORNING VOLUNTEERS...we still need 8-12 Volunteers every Saturday MORNING! |

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 EVERY SATURDAY IN 2011.
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 was a speaker last year on the "Lame Duck Tour", with Congress woman Marsha Blackburn, State Senator Jack Johnson, Tea Party Leader LouAnn Zelnick, Radio Host Phil Valentine, as the author of my new book THE Christian Nation Revolution, Regeneration.
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 will 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, TN 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!
