Greetings Everyone,
We were blessing this past Friday to have Pastor Jon and Daryl from the Akron Salvation Army joining us in venturing out in Cleveland. Pastor Jon has in the past worked at the 2100 Lakeside shelter, he has many memories from back in the 90's. Jon and Daryl continued to bless us by driving up a 15 passenger Salvation Army bus so we could all drive together. Yes we had A/C.
Our first stop was in East Cleveland there we handed out most of the hygiene packs, half of the
Chic Fli A sandwiches, peanut butter and jelly and pre-package snacks with a juice drink. We also had time to minister and pray with individual's. Many were blessed with food and bibles and prayer.
From there we loaded up the remaining food in our own cambro (donated by Kings Kitchen), we stopped at a Dollar Store to purchase water to give out. We then proceeded to 17th/Payne which is a temporary Womens shelter. We had a chance to feed them and give out the remaining hygiene packs. They were very happy to recieve those.
From there we drove through public square looking for anyone who was in need. Bad thing was there was no place to park. We then drove to 2100 Lakeside, once there we handed out over 50 Chic fli A sandwiches, remaining food in the cambro, and some bibles. God opened doors for us to pray with these men. We want to again thank Jon & Daryl for joining us, Chic Fli A for donating 100 sandwiches, Mike and Sarah for the P/J's sandwiches, Tom and Diane for the hygiene packs, Tom and Sharon for the pre-package snacks and juice drink, Dennis and Shelly for the misc hand bags and finally to all others who have donated items. We want to thank Jackie and Nate for joining us tonight we were short handed and they jump in to fill the need.
We will be joining Pastor Jon soon to venture out in the woods in Akron, please keep us in your prayers. Items for next month, hygience items, batteries, flashlights, old hand held radios, bug spray.
The Cold weather is not that far off, please keep in mind old jackets, boots, blankets, hats, gloves... etc we would like to start collecting such items now.

In his love,
John

I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus Christ, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
