The Lighthouse Mission News

Today, I had to tell a volunteer that they could not help hand out food & that they had to leave the outreach Why? Because they were acting mean, disrespectful & had a mean scowl on her face- but did say (rather yell) she was a CHRISTian & attended a church. Sadly, most of the people waiting on line for food are used to people treating them poorly, mean or talking down to them. Lighthouse Mission has a firm policy that when people come to an outreach they are expecting to be treated like the "world" treats them- we will do the exact opposite & overwhelm them with kindness & love-- so by the time they reach the end of the food line, more then 10 people treated them kindly, smiled & reminded them that Jesus loves them (as in photo)... That's what Jesus would do. So why not come & help us be the hands of Jesus to those in need. WE NEED HELP... Mean people need not apply ;-)..... If someone says, "I love God," but hates a Christian brother or sister, that person is a liar; for if we don't love people we can see, how can we love God, whom we cannot see?" - 1 John 4:20
