Bryan Chef - 6th Annual Love Your Neighbors Thanksgiving Day Dinner  
Volunteer for the
6th Annual "Love Your Neighbors" Thanksgiving Day Dinner
November 28th, 2013

So you might ask me the question, why volunteer at the Jesus Was Homeless Thanksgiving dinner?

 

I would tell you that this is a great opportunity to serve those that are hungry, homeless and hurting in our community by sharing hope, love and compassion. I would tell you about past Thanksgiving dinners when I met a man that only had $5.00 to his name and that by walking alongside him with love and encouragement after Thanksgiving, he is now gainfully employed. I would tell you about a family that did not have anything to eat and a Jesus Was Homeless van showed up with "Happy Meals" and through that, hope in "church people" has begun being restored and they will be   volunteering. I would tell you about a recovered drug addict that found hope in God, was baptized and is now using his life experience to help others. I would tell you about a man that was hopeless and could not find work and then graduated from our Jobs for Life class and is now employed and holding his head higher than ever before. I would tell you about a man that had a drug addicted mother and a biker gang father who is now volunteering as much as he can with us. I would tell you about a once homeless woman that now leads over 75 volunteers each week. I would tell you story after story about hope being restored. I would tell you story after story about people that were far from God now exploring faith and getting baptized. I would tell you about broken, hurting families and relationships being restored.

 

But I don't need to tell you about these things because you have an opportunity this year to volunteer at the 6th Annual "Love Your Neighbors" Thanksgiving Day Dinner and hear these stories for yourself. For more information visit www.jesuswashomeless.org or call 417.335.9915.

Gateway Branson
Church for people who don't like church!
Join us every Sunday at 10:30 am for FREE breakfast. Service begins at 11:00-11:59 am
Come as you are

You don't have to dress up. Everyone is welcome at Gateway regardless of what you think about church or God or religion. Gateway Branson Internet Campus is a place where God meets people who are far from perfect. This church is for people who don't really like church. This is a safe place for skeptics and doubters to ask their questions. We know lots of people have been burned by church experiences in the past. We hope this is a place where everyone can sort out authentic faith in a very real God and begin to experience it themselves.

But don't stay
that way
Spectators find it's hard to grow at this church. Take a risk. Meet some people. Get involved. Go deeper. Life change is about momentum - little steps you take toward God that lead to extraordinary results.
No Perfect People Allowed
