Hi Everyone,

First of all thanks to all who ventured out on Friday night. It was a cold one! We actually arrived downtown early ya ya ya!! East Cleveland, we gave 11 blankets to numerous children who had no heat or lack of it. Children just kept coming up to us when we were leaving asking if we had any blankets. These children had possibily no heat at home or lack of it. To see the humility in their hearts was inspiring to me. God loves these children so much. You see God had a plan, we received a donation that day of 10 blankets, yes it is a fact...God does provide to all.....

Dorie put together 20 Christmas bags for the children and they scooped them up quick. We gave out socks, jackets, clothes and tons of snacks. We met our new driver Reggie great guy. Albert joined us along with Emmanual. At one point Reggie, Albert and Amanda were singing Christmas carols it was so neat I wish I recorded it to post here. Albert also sang one of his new songs he just wrote.. Tom and Amanda joined us for the first time tonight they did a fantastic job we were so blessed to have them with us. 2100 Lakeside, as before we gave out 200 Chick fli a sandwiches, approx 100 ham sandwiches (thanks to Sarah & Linda) tons of snacks, socks, gloves and hats. We had hot choc. and left over hot stew from East Cleveland. All most forgot, we gave out 25 bibles (thanks Pastor). Mike of course prayed with numerous people.

Friday was our 12 time out this year, thank you to all who have helped & donated items and their time. We all know that the main provider is God, without Him nothing is possibly.

MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!

IN HIS LOVE,

JOHN

Father, we thank you for all your blessings & guidence this past year. Show us what our hearts need to see in the upcoming year for this ministry. We are so blessed in our lives, thank you for the provisions you provided for us. We lift up Albert & Emmanual and ask special blessing for them. We thank you Father for the Godly relationships we have with Albert & Emmanual.

We pray blessings for all who have given their time, money and donated items to this ministry. We pray the Holy Spirit will speak into all of us as we grow in our personal walk to be more Christlike, for us to have more humility and to carry the cross daily in our own lives.

In your Sons name JESUS we pray,

AMEN!!

Hi Everyone

Well, no real pictures this month, to dark to take. Friday night a little confusing at first, but God had a plan. The Canteen truck left at 5:15pm half hour before we arrived. They hired a new driver who had no idea about us and our time schedule. We made the best of it and ventured to the women's shelter at 17th/Payne. Upon arrival we found out that it was no longer a women's shelter. It had moved to 22nd/Payne a brand new renovated shelter. We were able to visit inside and gave away approx. 75 chic fli a sandwiches and over 50 hygiene packs. The women have a very nice shelter that is very structured with rules. We are only allowed to visit between the hours of 5:30--6:30pm only. Outside we handed out all the women's clothes, hats, gloves and goodies. After that we went to 2100 Lakeside, there we handed out shoes, gloves, all the hats, jackets, hygiene, hot drinks, and 150 chic fli sandwiches, 44 bologna sandwiches, many snack goodies. We did again run out of everything, we were told that 375 men were in the shelter Friday night. We want to thank all for donating items such as clothes, food etc. Special thanks to Linda for making sandwiches. Albert Jones and Emmanuel Mustin joined us also.

Albert and Emmanuel, we are so blessed to have you part of our family.

Our next time to go out is Dec 17th. Please keep this ministry in your prayers.

In His Love,

John

Hi Everyone,
Sorry this post is a week late, the weekend of the 17th was a busy one along with the week that followed.

Well on Friday we gave out 200 Chic-Fli-A sandwiches at 2100 Lakeside, over 80 personal hygiene packs. We also gave out two bags of clothes, 30 plus pairs of socks. God gave us 4 people to pray for, Dwayne, Paul at 2100 lakeside (Paul gave his life to the Lord Praise God!!) and at the womens shelter the girls prayed for Becky and Casandra. God has crossed our paths with two amazing men Emmanual and Albert. Both these men have been through the Salvation Army Harbour Light program. At one time both were homeless, now they volunteer the time to join us every 3rd Friday to give back. Please keep these men in your prayers.

Our prayer is that God will continue to bless us with a heart for those in need & that all of us will hear His voice and do His WILL!

In His Love

John

Matthew 9:12-13

On hearing this, Jesus said, "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: 'I desire mercy, not scarifice.' For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.
