Hi Everyone,

WOW!! We were really blessed last night because Shelby joined us with some of her youth from Passion Community Church in Rootstown Ohio. We had a wonderful time hitting the streets.  We again prepared over 250 Hot dogs, Chick Fil A donated 100 sandwiches. In East Cleveland, we set up tables outside due to the heat, the kids served some hot pasta and hot dogs. We gave out hygiene items, canned goods and 10 bags of groceries, and tons of clothing. Mike and I met Jason and Bevelynn who came up to us for prayer. They were amazing people, The Lord impressed upon me that this past morning none of us knew that The Lord would cross are paths as we stood there in prayer. A divine appointment for us to come together and petition the throne of God...Amazing!!!
Again we thank the youth from Passion Community Church and hope they will join us again.
Thanks to all that donated items and prepared things.
God Bless
John

 

1 Peter 4:10 As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies—in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

Hi Everyone,
This Friday we were blessed to have a group of girls all in the same bible study  join us from Agape word and worship center. www.agapewordandworshipcenter.com The girls prepared approx. 75 hygiene backpacks, and prepackage snack bags. We also prepared 176 BBQ Chicken sandwiches, gave out 100 chick fli a sandwiches, 50 prepared sandwiches @ 2100 we fed approx. 200 men. In East Cleveland there was approx. 25 people, we handed out 5 bags of groceries, two bags of dog food and tons of clothes. Thanks to all who have kept this ministry in prayer and for your donations.
The one person who had dog food crossed Euclid Ave and almost got hit by a car, but his cart did do so well it got crushed and dog food and pasta sauce all over the road. As you can see the girls jump in and helped clean up all the dog food. The police came and no one got a ticket. Our next time we hit the streets is May 17th. Team B goes out then.


Blessings
John

June 2012 thru Oct 2012









Hi Everyone,
It's been a busy year with all kinds of stuff. I havn't been able to post every month this year. Now things have slowed down so I will be able to keep the blog updated. Above are some pictures from June 2012 to Oct 2012. During this time we have preached the good news and fed many. In Oct Kings Kitchen prepared 15 gallons of Chicken and dumplings for the men at 2100 lakeside. We served over 300 men. Kings Kitchen also had a sock drive, they received over 900 pairs of socks for us to give to the men/women on the streets in Cleveland. Kings Kitchen also as they did last year donated 200 dollars for us to use in preparing a huge Thanksgiving dinner we plan on serving 300 people. We are now in the process of preparing this dinner. Kings Kitchen has been such a blesssing for us. Chick Fil A has also continued to bless us with 100 sandwiches this year. We also are giving out 10 bags of groceries in East Cleveland. Mike and Sarah are providing this every month for us, what a blessing. We will be hitting the streets Friday Nov 16th and we will be serving the Thanksgiving Dinner. Thanks to all for your prayers. 

Blessings
John
