2022 Was A Successful Year!

An update on what we were able to do with your help. Special thanks goes out to all of our volunteers and board members. This is what your prayers, money and donations went for in 2022. You can be rest assured that your money and donations do not go toward inflated salaries. In fact, our executive director does not even get a salary. For over 6 years and going on 7 years, Edward and Christina have put in countless hours of time, sweat and tears for their community. Even when they felt like giving up, they kept at it. Thank you to all who have donated and helped so far. We are excited to have our thrift store to open to the public in the near future. Everything will be priced donation only. All monies will go back into the ministry to keep it open. In this thrift store, we hope to have some much desired items, like Amazon electronics, clothes, kitchen items, housewares and more.

2022 was an awesome year! Our Breakfast with Billy program served thousands of meals to the area homeless and low income families. All of this was possible because of you. Thank you. Our Warehouse Ministry, where we take in donations to offer the public, FREE clothing, housewares, and furniture to those in need was able to serve hundreds 0f people through this ministry. Thank you Connie Cornell for managing this ministry for us. She has put countless hours in, even using her own personal truck to pick up and deliver furniture. During our summer 6th Year Anniversary Service / Outreach, we gave out over hundreds of emergency food boxes to families in need, and during our annual Christmas Giveaway, we distributed new toys to hundreds from all around the community. We provided hotel rooms and Greyhound bus tickets to those in need.

For the 4th year in a row, we have operated an Emergency Winter Shelter for the winter months. We provide shelter for the homeless citizens that can not get into one of the other local shelters. We provided over 65 unique individuals with a place to get a hot shower and a warm bed to sleep in.

We do so much more. The most important thing we do is share the gospel of Jesus Christ to all that come in, so that they can learn of God’s Love for them, the forgiveness of sins through the blood of Jesus, and get saved. We do biblical counseling and offer church services with free meals. All that we do cannot be done without the help of others such as yourselves. So, thank you and God bless you all. We are still in need of funds to get the upstairs of the building done, and the commercial kitchen. Funds needed today to have the building totally completed is $100,000.
