Tonight @missionforhopeinc and the @christianjeepassociation partnered with the @christianmotorcyclistsassoc Fishermen Chapter #7 to give out blankets, hygiene kit, water, snacks, Bibles and lots of clothing to folks at Beautiful Feet Ministries in Fort Worth, TX. Earlier in the evening we had a service and I had the pleasure of sharing a message. After the service we all got to help serve dinner to the guests. Thank you Rob & Irene Leyda and the CJA Texas Chapter for a great night and a very organized outreach.

Today’s outreach was a team of one on in Albuquerque. I was able to hand out blankets, hygiene kits and Bibles at the at the Compassion Services Center. Even though I was alone it worked out very well. I was able to spend some time with it’s Founder, Pastor Joanne Landry and talk about how her organization and church has been ministering to her neighbors in need for over 20 years. I was able to help in the kitchen and serve breakfast to her guests. Pastor Joanne’s center has 51 beds, showers and serves 3 meals a day. Her compassion for the homeless in Albuquerque is truly inspiring. Her center is a safe haven and home for the homeless. #missionforhope #jeepers #helpingthehomeless

Saturday Mission For Hope partnered with Radiant Church and local Jeepers to hand out blankets, hygiene kids, water, food, Bibles and prayer to the homeless in the Phoenix area. Such a blessing to serve along side such committed believers to minister to the poor in Phoenix.

Jeepers helping the homeless at the Las Vegas Rescue Mission. We partnered with the Wild West Jeep Club to serve almost 100 guests. We gave out blankets, hygiene kits, socks, snacks, water and Bibles. #MissionForHope 

Things went great in San Diego today for outreach stop # 17. We had a small team which made it easy to move through the city. The folks we served today were very polite and appreciative. We gave out blankets, hygiene, socks, water, snacks, sandwiches, fruit, Bibles and prayer. Thank you Glen, Christina and Pastor Julie. And thank you Beantown Blankets! 

God definitely had a plan today for the outreach in Skid Row in LA. Although I was alone for the outreach, everything worked out very well! Last night I reached out to Laura Hamilton, the Team Lead for The Refresh Spot on Towne Avenue in Skid Row. They are a non-profit that provides showers, a laundry facility, charging stations, a safe place to hang out and programs for people experiencing homelessness. I met her three years ago when I was in LA last.   Laura said it would be awesome if I came by and I could park the Jeep in front of their facility. And that’s what I did! It was a great, great day and I got to pray with quite a few people. Didn’t take long to give out the hygiene kids, socks, Bibles, water, snacks, wipes and cookies I had.
