VERSE OF THE MONTH
1. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.
2. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
3. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his
people, and the sheep of his pasture.
4. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and
bless his name.
5. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
Psalm 100

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:
...
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
