 GOD CAN USE 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!  Tom Dooley serves hot coffee in the cold rain, warming homeless hearts, sharing the blessing. 
Martha Pfeil finds a way to get a change of clothes for a Homeless guy in 4 minutes or less, every week. Martha sings weekly, so the Homeless know her before they get on her Clothes bus she organizes. 
Rain soaked to the bone, these Volunteers Fed the Hungry, Clothed the Naked, Preached the Good news, and added 2 Homeless brothers to our family of God, all because they sacrificed a Saturday morning to have Church for the Homeless. Chuck Klusener and big Jack Oliver anchor the middle, and the Men's Class at Judson Baptist Church brought Tom and his daughter, Bill Gemmill, Steve Sinclair, Larry, all of whom came to work and serve...and sing in our Choir today for the Homeless. BANK BALANCE...<-$800.00 IF ALL BILLS WERE PAID TODAY More major unforeseen expenses...computer viruses/worms got through 3 levels of virus protection and crashed our system last week, kept us down several days, thank God for good backup procedures, 1 offsite, 1 onsite, preserved our records. Adam Robinson was taken from his workplace by ambulance to the Hospital ER with chest pains. He was released upon payment of the bill, all considered it was a very good deal. He is fine now. Gas has increased significantly now exceeds. $1,400+ monthly 200 gallon Water tank we use store drinking water for the Homeless was vandalized, filled with dirt. Clothing Bus vandalized, rear door metal plate removed to gain entrance.
PRAISE REPORT, PRAYER REQUESTS..."God things"...
PRAISE! We feed 2,000 Homeless meals weekly through partnership with Belmont Church's Isaiah 58 program and the Rescue Mission, who get 200-300 Pizzas each week from our Food Collection Route. What an HONOR you who care, share!
NEEDS... That's Right, I've said it!
Downtown Building for full time Homeless and Needy Ministries...there, I've said it.
Churches with the Human and Financial Resources AND calling of God to help expand these ministries to fulfill the original vision God gave me from the start for 130 "Franchise Ministries" operated by local Churches across America, with this Nashville Ministry being the "Franchise Headquarters" to support! There, I've said it.
New Quiet Generator to replace the generator stolen from our locked Ministry Van.
Volunteers to pick up and transport Food Donations on Monday and Friday a.m.
Mechanic for our Busses, Truck, and Cargo Van
Secured Building and/or lot we can use for our vehicles and inventory storage
OPERATIONS FUNDING...we need regular, dependable funding for our Operations. A volunteer with a "couple of hours a week" would help immensely in this area. An Operations Coordinator out there?
SATURDAY MORNING VOLUNTEERS...need 8-12 Volunteers every Saturday MORNING!
We are the ONLY ministry serving hot coffee to 100-160 Homeless, furnishing a 1,600 sf tent with nice chairs and tables, an Hour of Praise and Worship music followed by a full Church service with singing, preaching, spiritual counseling and prayer, a hot banquet meal, a sack lunch to go, and a change of Clothes from our Clothes Bus complete with underwear, socks, and grooming items. Caring for their physical needs provides opportunity to serve their spiritual needs, evidenced by 8,503 Homeless Repenters in this, our 10th year. I cannot help but laugh at those many who laughed at me and said "It will not last". Maybe it won't, but 10 years and 8,503 Homeless souls rescued from Hell on Earth and hereafter is a real good start...to God be the Glory!
