As a downtown church in a large, rapidly growing city, we interact daily with numerous homeless individuals in our neighborhood. Fortunately, there are many homeless services available within blocks of our church.
As a result, we have decided to take a creative approach to homeless ministry that is a bit different than other ministries and non-profits. We fill a gap that gets us deeply involved in their lives. Instead of providing meals, lodging or clothing, we primarily focus on customized ministry to the homeless who attend our church.
Ultimately, our goal is to see people move out of homelessness with our assistance and support. Through the years, we've seen several men and women transition from living on the streets to having housing, jobs, careers, and even owning their own homes!
There is one particular individual, though, who is unable to function independently, and City Life Church makes sure he has a roof over his head, food in his refrigerator, medical care, bus passes and more.
His name is JACK, and I just want to thank our City Lifer's for your regular giving, as well as those who helped him move to a new location a couple of weeks ago.
We do for one what we wish we could do for all! Keep Jack in your prayers!
Jack is one of us, and he will have a great reward in heaven.
