REACHING THE LEAST, THE LAST, THE LOST ~ Giving thanks for God’s faithfulness during 25 years of ministry ~ Dear Supporters & Friends, Let me take this time to thank all of you that support and pray for this ministry. Without your support we could not provide all the services we do to all those in need. We praise the Lord for all the good that happens here. Because of the Lord’s amazing grace many lives have been changed. Again, thank you for caring. At this time, our ministry is full. The Men’s Program Division is packed. Our Women’s & Children’s Shelter is at capacity. We also had a graduation service for several men and women. We are continuing to serve more than 7,500 meals a month to our residents and to the public. We are still in need of help to gear up for the holidays. Any help would be appreciated so much. As we observe Thanksgiving, we praise the Lord for how He has provided for our need. We are preparing for our annual Thanksgiving week events. We plan to serve special holiday feasts to many people here at the Mission. We also will be providing some of Albany’s most needy families with food bags and turkeys for the holiday. Our ministry will be busy taking food bags and meals to many people unable to get out to help themselves. “How can you help?” Get involved in our canned food and non-perishable item drive. We also need turkeys and hams. You can drop off your donations at 604 N. Monroe or call 229-435-7615 to arrange a pick up. Monetary donations should be mailed to 604 N. Monroe St., Albany, GA, 31701. During the next two months, we need to raise enough funds to carry us for several months into 2015. During this holiday season, we pray you will remember the needs of the least, the last, and the lost as we minister to them. May the Lord bless you and your family. Saved to serve, Bro. Larry Hample REACHING THE LEAST, THE LAST, THE LOST FEEDING THE HUNGRY 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: ...
