Feeding the Homeless at "Street Life"
July 18, 2011
| On July 17th, several volunteers from our Synergy Young Adults ministry and a couple of our small groups joined forces to feed over 100 homeless people downtown at His Place Ministries. We bought, prepared, and served the meal (spaghetti w/sides, brownies, and drinks), and had the privilege of building relationships with several of our homeless guests, offering the love, friendship, and hospitality that Jesus has shown us. This particular time, we also served alongside other volunteers who are residents of "Restoration House," which is an addiction recovery ministry run by His Place Ministries. I had the privilege of meeting "Ricky" (pictured to the right) whom I got to know a little while serving with him. He is currently a resident of Restoration House and was so excited to tell me about his new faith in Christ. He was baptized by Pastor Terry (of His Place) recently, and couldn't stop talking about how God had helped him overcome his addiction. God is so good! |
