On Friday we had a great day at Garrison Park here in Modesto. We helped the local county with their bi-annual homeless count. We set up shop in the middle of a park and offered free food(chilli and hamburgers) and comfort kits. It was a day of blessing for me, the outreach minister who watched as the people of God reached out to the homeless and less fortunate neighbors of our community. We served over a hundred meals from our post and gave out numerous comfort kits. We also had food items with us and made up special bags of food for those who were willing to take them. The biggest blessing to was watching the care that each individual on the team gave to precious people who came by for what we had to offer. Many times during the day we had multiple people being served at the same time and being guided through the surveys we had to fill out. All of us were blessed to here the stories of how or why these individuals live where they live. We have many great plans for this year. Our next event for outreach is Feb 10 when we host a night of comedy. The word for this event is invite, invite, invite. Then we will need to follow-up . . .
share the love of Christ
