Christmas

AS WE ENTER THIS NEW CHRISTMAS SEASON WE HAVE A LOT TO BE THANKFUL FOR. WE’RE STILL HERE WHILE MANY HAVE LOST THEIR LIVES TO COVID 19 AND OTHER SICKNESSES. GOD BROUGHT US THROUGH AND THIS WE SHOULD THANK HIM FOR.

CHRISTMAS DINNER!
THE MISSION WILL BE DOING CHRISTMAS DINNER THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS. WE’RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS YEAR. LAST YEAR WE DIDN’T HAVE CHRISTMAS DINNER DUE TO COVID, THE FIRST TIME IN 38 YEARS. WE WILL NEED PIES OR ANY KIND OF DESERT. IF YOU’RE FREE COME AND VOLUNTEER? WE START AT 7:00 P. M.
WE ARE FEEDING BETWEEN 50 AND 60 PEOPLE A DAY. WE’RE SLEEPING FOLKS, NOT AS MANY AS BEFORE, BUT, AS COVID19 EASES AND AS THE WEATHER GETS COLDER WE WILL BE SLEEPING MORE . WE HAVE MEN ON PROBATION AND PAROLE AND PEOPLE OFF THE STREETS WHO SLEEP AT THE MISSION.
LAST WEEK WE HAD “LITTLE CEASERS” LOVE KITCHEN AT THE MISSION. THEY GAVE FREE PIZZA TO ALL WHO CAME. I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR SHARING WITH US.
I HAVE BEEN HERE FOR OVER 38 YEARS AND I HAVE MET SOME OF THE MOST WONDERFUL PEOPLE OVER THAT TIME, GOD’S PEOPLE. WHAT I MEAN BY THAT IS… WHEN WE HAVE HAD A NEED GOD HAS ALWAYS COME THROUGH FULFILLING THE NEED WE HAD. I THANK HIM FOR THAT.
GOD IS GOOD HE IS SENDING NEW PEOPLE TO THE MISSION. THIS I THANK GOD FOR. LAST SUNDAY I HAD TWO PEOPLE COME UP TO ME AND SAY “I’VE NEVER HAD THE BIBLE EXPLAINED TO ME LIKE YOU DO BEFORE”. PEOPLE ARE GETTING TIRED OF GOING TO CHURCH AND NOT HEARING ANY OF THE OLD CHURCH HYMNS THAT HAVE GREAT MESSAGES THEY WANT TO RETURN TO REAL CHURCH. YOU ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.

SPECIAL NEEDS!

DUE TO COVID AND OTHER THINGS WE HAVE HAD A TOUGH YEAR AS MANY OF YOU HAVE ALSO HAD. OUR DONATIONS ARE DOWN. LAST WEEK OUR BOILER WENT OUT IN OUR SHELTER NEXT TO THE MISSION. AS OF YET, WE HAVE NO HEAT. SO FAR THE WEATHER HAS BEEN GOOD, BUT IT’S GOING TO CHANGE. THE BOILER COST IS $8200.00 AND THIS WE NEED HELP WITH. WILL YOU PRAY AND SEEK GOD FOR THIS NEED? ALSO IN JAN. WE HAVE A $10,200.00 INSURANCE BILL COMING DUE. GOD HAS ALWAYS COME THROUGH. BUT, IF HE DOES NOT COME THROUGH WE MAY HAVE TO SHUT THE SHELTER DOWN. THIS WOULD PUT 10 MEN ON THE STREET WITH NO PLACE TO GO. I’M BELIEVING GOD FOR A MIRACLE. PLEASE PRAY AND ASK GOD WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP.
I DON’T LIKE TO ASK FOR MONEY LIKE THIS BUT THE BIBLE TELLS US “WE HAVE NOT BECAUSE WE ASK NOT AND WE HAVE NOT BECAUSE WE ASK AMISS”.
THESE ARE TWO TRUE NEEDS.

HEAVEN SENT
WILL BE HAVING THE MORNING SERVICE AT EMMANUEL BAPTIST CHURCH ON D RD ON DEC 5TH AT 10:30 AM. IF YOU DON’T ATTEND CHURCH OR YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR SOME GOOD GOSPEL MUSIC WHY NOT COME?
