I want to talk to you about something our YWAM base is doing this Thanksgiving.
We have a ministry here called Zona Norte, in which we go every Wednesday to the border area of TJ, and take food to feed about 250 homeless men and women that hang out in this area. Some of them are drug addicts, some of them were deported from the states, and some of them just can't find work.
Last thanksgiving we took a thanksgiving meal to them, preapring for 300 homeless men and women, and 500 showed up. So this year we are doing it again, but we are preparing for 600 instead :)
But, this year our vision is a little bigger than just giving them a thanksgiving meal to sit down to.
This year, we want to wash their hair and give them haircuts, and THEN lead them to their seat to give them a sit-down Thanksgiving meal. There is a youtube video of a ministry that's been doing something like this, that reminds me of what we're going to do. I hope to get pictures and videos of what we do that day as well, but for now, here is something to give you an idea of the impact this has on a persons heart and soul http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6a6VVncgHcY
This is what Jesus would have done, and this is who he is talking about when he talks about the least of these, therefore we know that when we do this, we are doing it to him.
I plan to be one of the people that helps cut hair that day, and I'm really excited about it.
We still need to raise 1500 dollars to buy all the food and supplies to feed everyone. This is taking place in just two weeks!!!
Would you cosnider donating to this event that we are putting on? It takes about 3-4 dollars to cover one homeless person's meal and haircut. Would you consider supporting a few, or even more?
Remember what Jesus told us, "whatever you do to the least of these, you do unto me"
we can count on His promises and rewards! :)
