Homeless Outreach In Texas

Just a testimony of what God is doing with our 'stuff'. You know we were collecting things for New Hampshire for a place called SHARE. But our thinking all along is that we hoped to find places near Debbie Reed in Minnesota and I'm in Texas. Impact Lubbock is much like SHARE in that they minister to the homeless and less privileged - that ministry is close to Kim Reed's heart. So yesterday, I went by and visited with Wanda and showed her the hand warmers, neck warmers, boobie purses, laminated John 3:16 cards, etc. As with SHARE, my concern was that our ministry tag is on those items. She was delighted! She so wants to share God and God's love with the people she comes in contact with. So I will begin to take some things by for them to have. They pass out 'encouraging' cards to the people waiting to see the dentist and doctor and will put one in the food baskets. It is so neat to work with a ministry that welcomes sharing the gospel. It seems to be a wide open door. And again, God is letting us be the hands and feet of the work He is doing. Plus it is a real encouragement to the workers to have donations. If you have places where we can minister or would like to contribute things for either SHARE or Impact Lubbock, just contact us (you can either use the contact form on the left hand side, or leave a comment under this with your request and email address and we can contact you). Kim will need items for the Christmas baskets by December 12 and the Lubbock ones can be anytime. Winter comes later in Texas, so we haven't had cold weather yet. Blessings and prayers whatever and wherever your ministry is.

Blessings,
Carol Jean
