Building Relationships Through God's Love

​Scripture of the Week: Psalm 37:1-8  
Don’t be upset by evildoers or envious of those who do wrong, for soon they will wither like grass and fade like the green in the fields. 
Trust in Adonai, and do good; settle in the land, and feed on faithfulness. 
Then you will delight yourself in Adonai, and he will give you your heart’s desire. 
Commit your way to Adonai; trust in him, and he will act. He will make your vindication shine forth like light, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.
Be still before Adonai; wait patiently till he comes. 
Don’t be upset by those whose way succeeds because of their wicked plans.
Stop being angry, put aside rage, and don’t be upset — it leads to evil.

Homeless Folks are People Too

What is it like to lose everything, have no support, and live every day like it could be your last. The number of homeless people does not really show all the heartache and pain that those who are victims of circumstances that caused them to lose their homes. Most people do not realize that some of the homeless have great degrees but cannot use them because they do not have an address outside of a shelter. Yes there are transient homes but most do not give enough time to establish full residency in order to get work.
Here is another piece, Missions and shelters commonly are only open once the night temperature reaches 40 degrees Fahrenheit and when they do open those fortunate enough to get in have no good secure place to store their belongings which get stolen.
Why do we allow this? How long will we let this go on? Yes there are some who become completely lost with "no hope" for recovery. Yes there are some who are on the verge of death. There are many who desire a second chance at life but are refused because they are out on the streets.
IS NOT OUR GOD A GOD OF SECOND CHANCES???????
Who are we to decide who does not get it?
Is there a reason we cannot be better stewards of our human brothers and sisters as we are called to be????
When people call for funds to assist the homeless, most of it gets pocketed by the needs of those who are in charge. There are people on boards of these "shelters" who are public figures of high renown with more money than they know what to do with. We are not that type of people. What we propose is a place that can handle a number of those who desire to get that second chance and will use it right. What we propose is giving the individuals a 9-12 month residence where they will be able to get assistance in budgeting, health and welfare, finding tech schools, resume assistance, OJT, and job search assistance. Some may even end up working with us.

We need your help in making this possible. It is for ALL homeless, and those who desire a second chance at life. We are not rich and cannot do this on our own so we need your help. If you would like to give assistance or know someone who will stand up and give to missions go to https://fundly.com/helping-homeless-veterans-8. This is not just for veterans but all people. Let's be the people God wants us to be. Helping others before ourselves.
