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.

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.
