MINISTRY UPDATE

JAIL UPDATE:

Well the new $97million dollar facility is up and running and all the inmates have been transferred into the new facility. It is an awesome facility, but the same old devil has men deceived and bound. But praise God that a team of us have been going in ministering in the men's and woman's cell blocks.

The sole purpose of us going into the jail on a regular basis is to make disciples. We focus on the same cell block to build trust with the guys also to see these guys grow in their relationship with Jesus. None of us are interested in just praying little prayers with the inmates, we desire to see these guys "totally changed" and be radically "made new" by the power of Christ! --Please pray that God continues to touch lives in the cell blocks.

LEITERS-FORD UPDATE:

Quick testimony about the guy Billy from Leiters-ford. This is the guy who I ministered to for about an hour at the outreach and a couple others ministered to him as well. Debbie saw Billy a couple of weeks ago and he is talking about how the outreach touched him and the people who talked with him were awesome and how he's been reading his Bible and praying. PRAISE GOD!!

Also, Debbie has been picking up little kids and bring them to Church. Well since the outreach more parents are letting their kids go with Debbie and she has around 10 kids now she picks up and takes to Church. Amen!! God is working!!

CHRISTMAS FOOD BOX OUTREACH:

Were less than two weeks away. The goal is 125 boxes to be given to the needy and impoverished, but most of all we will be sharing the life changing Gospel of Jesus Christ.

This December 15th at 12:30 pm, a ministry team of "on-fire" believers will be going door to door sharing Jesus and ministering to needy people. The food boxes will consist of a 5 LB Ham and all the trimmings for a holiday meal. Also we will have toys for small children and a new Bible.

Please pray that God will touch lives and draws many to know Him. Also, pray that the team will be anointed to boldly share the hope we have for salvation.

Anyone still interested in helping or giving toward this outreach please call me for details.

God bless everyone!

GEARING UP FOR THE CHRISTMAS OUTREACH

The purpose of Life Line Outreach is to reach the lost. We minister in jails, juvenile centers and on the streets. Sharing the Gospel and ministering the love of Jesus.


And with Christmas approaching this is a great time to reach out to hurting people with the Gospel. God has led us to reach out to the needy in the community, this December 15th we will be going into very needy areas here in Elkhart IN. We will be going door to door to distribute Christmas Food boxes. (“Boxes of Love”), praying with people and sharing the Gospel.

Our primary concern is ministering to people spiritually; but we understand it is very challenging for anyone to hear what you have to say about Christ when they are hurting, hungry and in despair. It is so true that people really don’t care what you know - until they know that you care. By meeting a physical need we believe that hard hearts will soften for us to minister the spiritual need and that need is JESUS!!!

These Christmas Boxes will consist of most everything needed for a holiday meal: 5 # canned Ham, canned vegetables, boxed potatoes, boxed dressing, biscuits, canned cranberry sauce, Christmas candy/cookies, toy for small child, and a Bible. We are estimating the cost to be around $ 25.00 a box. We are hoping to give out at least 125 boxes. (Last year we were blessed to give out 114.

You can read about it here: http://lifelineoutreach.blogspot.com/2006/12/christmas-food-basket-outreach-was.html )

We refuse to resort to “gimmicks” or “high pressure-guilt laden techniques” when asking for help. Simply stated we can’t do this by ourselves but working together we can meet the needs of the people whether spiritual, physical or emotional. We just ask for you to pray and seek God to see if this is something He would have you help out with. All monies received will go directly to purchasing food or Bibles. (No monies will be used for our personal expenses.) Everything contributed will be put toward purchasing food, Bibles or a child’s toy for the outreach boxes.
