Hello, all!

[Guest missourirocker]

Just thought I would pass this along....Everyday, we all are on the internet, doing Lots of things...Everyday, Most of us have a have a place to stay, with a roof over our heads, good food in our stomaches, a warm place to sleep, Having clean clothes to wear, etc. A lot of you out there may have never thought about this, but it is true. Right now, as I write this, there's real people out there who have been kicked out of there homes by their mothers and fathers, who have to live together in Run down buildings, who may hardly ever eat, who have to go out and ask ppl for change just so they can eat, people who don't have access everyday to a washer and dryer so they can wash their clothes. There's people out there right now living on the streets who do not have access to showers, etc. Now, I help out(when I can) these people who are on the streets by being a friend, offering them something to eat(when I can afford it, which is regularly), I offer a lot to these people, without wanting anything in return, I offer my friendship, My caring heart, etc. Now, while I admit, I know there are shelters for these people to get clean clothes, hot food, showers, etc, but think about this people, please.....What if one of those people who are living on the streets right now we're your son or your daughter? Your own flesh and blood having to deal with all the situations I have listed above? Would you care? Do you care to help these people who are living out there right now? Please, if you do, copy and paste the link at the bottom of this bulletin into your browser, to find out what You can do to help. Is it asking too much just to call this establishment, or visit the website? I don't think it is. Please offer a helping hand, by visiting the website, and find out what you can do, to help. Please also check out both links at the bottom of this message. One is of a slideshow. It touched my heart, and I know it will also touch many of yours. Thanks for reading

Hi Missourirocker,

Nice to meet you.

That is great you are doing work for the homeless. Homelesness can happen to anyone.

Here my son and I do also. Also both the churches I am affilaited with and many communitys churches.

We are just now getting a homeless shelter built. But, I don't think it will even be big enough.(after a long battle with a couple of people trying to stop it) we are getting it.

Many people don't know the homelessness is highest for women and children. But, it is. They fill the church-shelter now.

The pastor of my church, offered our church to be a safe palce for homeless to sleep in. People signed up to stay up nights, taking turns, to give them a safe place to sleep. As he had hoped, other churches followed suit. This was going on for a long time. Then one church was determined to be the overnight site, with all volunteers from the community here, uintil one can be built.

Each church takes one of the days of the week, for thier day to cool a hot meal, and make sack lunches for anyone who comes. They have dinners at one location only though.

Our church and other churches have certain days to give food away also. All is donated by the people from these churches.

I don't think people realise how much it means to be touchable, and cared for. Giving a litttle food, money and prayres and lvoe a handshake of encouragement.

Just can't stand for people to make them invisible.

They are only people same as you or I.

What are they doing in your community?

THer are many your persons choosing homelessness in the city below ours. It is a drug scen and a mission field.

Hope to talk to you more soon.

Feel free to write me anytime.

God bless

Please excuse my typos, meant cook hot meals, and it is many young people who are choosing homelessness near here, heart breaking, they need Christ. IF we aren't the Hands for Christ, who is? GOd bless you
