REACHING THE LEAST, THE LAST, THE LOST October 2014 Ministry 604 North Monroe Street Albany, Georgia 31701 Vol. XXVI No. 10 www.AlbanyRescueMission.org Thrift Store 616 West Roosevelt Avenue Albany, Georgia 31701 DIRECTOR’S NOTES We Need Your Help! Dear Supporters and Friends, Thank you for your care and compassion for those who desperately need the services this ministry provides. Without the Lord leading you to help us, we would not be able to provide for those needs. We are running full at both the Men’s Program Division and the Women’s & Children’s Shelter – 45 at the Men’s Mission and 21 women and children at the Women’s Shelter. The next 3 months will be critical for the Mission. This month we will begin our canned food drive. We need to collect enough non-perishable food to pack over 500 food bags and to serve more meals than usual through the holidays (we have been serving more than 7,500 meals a month). See inside the newsletter for how you can help in this area. We also need to raise enough funds to catch up our bills and meet our needs for this period of time. We have had a long summer with many extra expenses. There are so many people in need. However, because of your compassion, the Lord has blessed this ministry as we continue to serve Him. We had another New Beginnings graduation for 7 of our residents. We are reaching many souls for the Lord. We pray that you will continue to help us reach the least, the last and the lost. Again, we thank you for your care and compassion. We pray the Lord will bless you and your family. Bro. Larry Saved to serve For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16 REACHING THE LEAST, THE LAST, THE LOST MINISTRY NOTES Canned Food Drive For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: ... And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matthew 25:35, 40 It’s time for our annual canned food drive. Much of the food collected will be used to provide Thanksgiving Food Bags for some of the most impoverished members of our community. We will also restock our pantry so we can provide emergency food bags during the rest of the year. If you or your church, school, civic organization, or business can help, we will provide promotional materials and grocery bags. Call us at 435-7615 or come by 604 N. Monroe to pick up bags to pack.
