Water needed to give to people waiting on line n the sun for food.

While handing out food during a Lighthouse Mission street outreach our team was giving out cold bottles of water to the people standing on line in the sun.

This is a major blessing especially to the elderly... one elderly person was standing in the heat holding onto their walker with his air canister tucked under his arm..

I checked our supply of bottled water & we are really-rerally low going into the summer.

Can anyone help or have any ideas / advise about how to get a few skids of water? ..

Excited children find cloths in pile while parents wait in line for food

It breaks my heart watching children (right here on Long Island) get excited about a pile of used cloths that we put out during the Lighthouse Missions daily street / food outreaches while their parents are on line for food is a humbling sight.

An excited little girl finds a coat in the pile of used cloths..

One of my favorite things to do at the street outreaches is to sit on the ground and blow bubbles & draw with chalk with the children as I tell them bible stories about Jesus..

6.5 yr old comes to Mission with wrong sized cloths

We have all seen photos of children in foreign countries who are hungry, wearing torn or ripped- sadly, this is a common sight for our team at the Lighthouse Mission (btw: we are located right here on Long Island)

This little poor little guy who came to the Lighthouse Missions "Kids Club" (6.5 yrs old) wearing pants that were at least 4 sizes to large for him, a shirt 2 sizes too small & his little sandals were way undersized for him & each from a different pair. You should have seen his face when we gave him lunch!

unfortunately, this sort of thing is normal at the mission but it never stops breaking my heart (YES, this is happening right here on Long Island)...

What an honor to be the hands of Jesus to these little ones.

Please pray for our ministry that we will be able to continue to share the Gospel of Jesus & feed the poor.

God Bless you

Will RIverhead "kick out" the Lighthouse Mission?

Sadly Riverhead wants to "give the Lighthouse Mission the boot" (see latest attached article link) The sad thing is that there are so many people in need (800+ people a month got food from that single outreach in the month of March alone!) The people whom attend are mostly elderly people & woman with their children (see attached photo & video of people waiting on-line)

What have we done wrong? What have these people done wrong?

Please pray for us because Riverhead wants to make us move .. (2 Chron. 20:15 is the scripture we are leaning on)

God Bless you!
