Voice Of Freedom

IN 1983 WE CAME TO GRAND JUNCTION CO KNOWING THAT GOD CALLED US TO OPEN A RESCUE MISSION AND WITH THE LORDS HELP AND MANY PEOPLE WHO LOVE THE LORD WE HAVE MADE IT FOR 38 YEARS WITHOUT GOVERNMENT OR UNITED WAY HELP. I THANK GOD FOR THIS. NO ONE WILL EVER DO WHAT WE HAVE DONE. IN THE FUTURE IF ANYTHING IS DONE IT WILL BE WITH GOVERNMENT HELP OR THEY WON’T GET IT DONE.
WE HAVE SERVED THOUSANDS OF MEN AND WOMEN OVER THE 38 YEARS WE HAVE BEEN OPEN. FOR THE LAST 17 YEARS OR SO WE HAVE TAKEN MEN WHO EVERYONE TURNED THEIR BACKS ON AND GAVE THEM A CHANCE TO FIND CHRIST AND LIVE A LIFE THAT THEY COULD BE PROUD OF. THIS COULD ONLY BE DONE WITH YOU FOLKS
WHO SO FAITHFULLY GIVE SO WE COULD DO THE WORK GOD SET US OUT TO DO. I CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IS BUILDING A NEW SHELTER ABOUT 5 BLOCKS FROM HERE AND THEY ARE PUTTING 4 1/2 MILLION DOLLARS INTO IT I’M TOLD. SO WERE GOING IN ANOTHER DIRECTION IN THE FUTURE WE ARE SELLING OUR PROPERTY AND WHEN IT IS SOLD WE ARE GOING TO OPEN CHRIST CHAPEL IN GRAND JUNCTION CO GIVING OUT FOOD BOXES TO THE POOR AND HELPING PEOPLE WITH FINANCIAL HELP SUCH AS MEDICAL, HOUSING, AND EMERGENCY NEEDS. CHRIST CHAPEL WILL BE UNDER LIGHTHOUSE GOSPEL MINISTRIES AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO HELP THOSE IN NEED.
MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN SUPPORTING US FOR A LONG TIME AND WE COULD NOT HAVE MADE IT WITHOUT YOU. DO YOU KNOW THAT YOU HAVE HAD A PART IN MANY LOST PEOPLE COMING TO CHRIST? GOD WILL PUT MANY JEWELS IN YOUR CROWN IN HEAVEN. WE WILL BE OPEN TILL THE END OF THE YEAR AND THEN WE WILL BE OPENING OUR NEW WORK. WHEN WE SELL OUR BUILDINGS WE ARE GOING TO PUT $50,000 ASIDE TO HELP THOSE IN NEED. IF YOU WANT TO CONTINUE TO REACH OUT AND HELP THAT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. IF NOT I UNDERSTAND.

I HAVE COMPLETE PEACE ABOUT THIS AND I BELIEVE IT’S GODS WILL.

I AM GOING TO BE EIGHTY IN FEBUARY AND I NEED TO SLOW DOWN A LITTLE. WE WILL NOT BE SLEEPING  ANYONE OR FEEDING ON SITE. WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO IS NEEDED IN THIS VALLEY! YOUR CONTINUED HELP WOULD GREATLY BE APPRECIATED. WE TRULY LOVE EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU WITH A LOVE THAT ONLY CHRIST COULD GIVE.

IN THE PARK A COUPLE OF BLOCKS FROM US THEY FEED EVERY DAY ALL DAY AND THEY THINK THEY ARE DOING A GREAT SERVICE. IN THEIR EYES THEY ARE. BUT, WHEN THESE PEOPLE GET ALL THE FOOD THEY NEED THEY WILL NOT COME INTO A MISSION AND HEAR THE GOSPEL BECAUSE THEY DO NOT WANT TO HELP THEMSELVES. THEY SAY WHY SHOULD I WORK WHEN EVERYTHING IS GIVEN TO ME?

MANY PEOPLE WILL NOT GO TO WORK BECAUSE THEY MAKING TOO MUCH MONEY ON UNEMPLOYMENT. THE PEOPLE ON THE STREETS DO NOT WANT TO GO TO WORK BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS GIVEN TO THEM.

NO ONE WILL EVER DO AGAIN WHAT WE HAVE DONE OVER THE LAST 38 YEARS WITHOUT GOVERNMENT OR UNITED WAY HELP. I HAVE WATCHED OTHERS TRY TO OPEN MISSIONS AND FAIL BECAUSE GOD WAS NOT IN IT. I MADE A VOW NOT TO TAKE GOVERNMENT OR UNITED WAY MONEY AND PRAISE GOD WE HAVE NOT ACCEPTED ANY MONEY FROM EITHER. I LIVE BY PHILL. 4-19, “MY GOD WILL SUPPLY ALL MY NEEDS ACCORDING TO HIS RICHES IN GLORY BY CHRIST JESUS “ AND THAT IS COMPLETELY TRUE.

MY WIFE AND I HAVE DONE WHAT WE KNOW CHRIST HAS CALLED US TO DO AND WE HAVE NOTHING TO LOOK BACK ON. I BELIEVE GOD WILL SAY WELL DONE GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT WHEN OUR TIME COMES TO SEE CHRIST.

CONTINUING IN HIS WORK,

Keith and Connie Bradley
