Weekly street outreaches up 35%

Hello friends, I am sad and happy to report that there thousands more people attending Lighthouse Mission daily street outreaches now then this time last year. In fact, we are up a total of 35%. People have been waiting in the freezing cold & on long lines with their children in hope of receiving a few bags of food for their families. I thank the Lord that He has been sending so many people to our street outreaches & that He has been some how providing the food necessary for us to meet the ever growing need. But more importantly, He has been sending the thousands & thousands of people to us each week because we have been faithful it providing the people with the true bread of life- that bread is Jesus.

Jesus replied, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again. Whoever believes in me will never be thirsty”- John 6:35.

It’s not uncommon for our mobile food pantry trucks to arrive at an outreach location (we now have 10 that cover more then 740 sq.. miles each week) and discover 200 more people waiting on line then we had expected! Thats when things get interesting because we could not have had enough food loaded onto the truck for that many more people and yet everyone that afternoon seems to be able to go home with several bags of food.. How is it possible? (here is some bible home work for you- check out John 6:1-14 in your bible for the answer)

The only answer that I could provide you with is that it is a real miracle. I understand that many of you may find this statement hard to believe. All I can say to you is if you don’t believe me- come and see for yourself. You are always welcome to meet us at any of our street outreaches and help hand out food & cloths to the needy. I can gurantee you a few things. 1. you will do work- loading or unloading trucks & handing out food 2. you will hear the good news of the gospel of Jesus preached, 3. you may be moved to compassion & possibly remove your own coat & gloves to drape it over a shivering child & her mother as they wait in line for food...

Please consider becoming a monthly financial partner with the Lighthouse Mission. Your donation will go right to work- right here on Long island sharing the gospel & feeding the poor.

Jesus teaches us in Luke 10:2 “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest."...

Man, I can’t wait to see what God is going to do next!

God Bless you.
