Don't Walk By 2016

It looks like a banquet for the poor! It has been a privilege once again to serve with other ministries and volunteers to cover all the streets of Manhattan to bring people in for a hot meal, care, and other practical help in the hopes they will want more! Thank you for sharing in the "fruit" of this outreach through your partnership with Street LIFE Ministries!

Here's a brief statistical overview from the outreach:

We had nearly 1,200 volunteers
Over 700 homeless men and women were engaged on the streets
136 of these received medical assistance
68 were transported from the anchor church to stay two nights at the New York City Rescue Mission.

All she had to eat in her room was two cans of vegetables and one can of chili. Read More
