Homeless Ministry

How many of us are guilty of passing by the signs that read, ” Will work for food”, “HELP”, or the person sitting on the road, , under bridges, in parks, and on vacant industrial property, needing a helping hand. And saying to ourselves… they could work if they wanted to.

Prov. 22:9 Happy is the generous man, the one who feeds the poor. The homeless need you…. Remember it could be you!

Nursing Home Outreach Ministry

As the early Christian church did, we too care for the poor, the sick, the widows and the orphans who has no one else to care for them. Through this ministry, encouragement is given through sharing the love and message of Jesus Christ to those within the nursing home by preaching, praying and song.

Prison Ministry

I was in prison and you came to visit me … I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:36,40)

We may be tempted to pass judgement and neglect those in prison because we believe they are only experiencing the consequences of their actions.

However, we must remember God does not give up on them, just like he does not give up on us. While we may not be physically bound like our brothers and sisters, bondage can take on many forms: ignorance, rebellion, depression, oppression, foolish choices, and imprisonment of SIN. But praise God, he comes to set the prisoners free!

Galatians 6:1-2 says, “”Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way, you will fulfill the law of Christ.”

Our mission is to remind those who are incarcerated, that in Jesus they will find the power of love, mercy, forgiveness and true freedom.
