Hope Detroit Continues

January 7, 2008 1 comment
It has been a pleasure to serve the homeless community the last 2.5 years or so. I have had the privilege to join up with some great soul minded individuals. First and foremost it is the Lord Jesus Christ who has inspired and energized us to go forward and continue with the burden that he has placed in us. If you recall Bro Clary had the vision to come up with the Hope Detroit theme. The burden has already been placed in us and his ministry has helped provide us with several thousand dollars worth of backpacks, blankets, hats, gloves and Bibles that we have been giving to the homeless in December 2007 along with the beginning of 2008. To date we have given out about 100 backpacks. We still have a couple of months of winter left. We are asking for your prayers that the hearts of these people would be touched and that they would feel the Love of Christ.  Here are the names of the people that we have reached out to at the following shelters:

I would like to thank the following individuals for helping me pass out the backpacks at the shelters. As you know we made people happy and as our theme promotes Hope we were the hands that offered it. May God Bless each of you for your time…

  • Karen Breza 
  • Sheri Hafeli
  • Emily Breza 

In addition to passing out the backpacks, we have a wonderful outreach staff that I must give honor to. These are faithful individuals that help out whenever called upon with this ministry. They are the ones that help transport the people to and from Church and assist in food preparation after the Sunday service.  

  • David & Patricia Moore
  • Luann Bedford
  • Yvonne White
  • Bob & Judy Kingsley
  • Larry & Gloria Ledbetter
  • Patrick & Renee Henderson
  • T.J. & Rhonda Daniels & Beatrice Adams
  • Faith & Jerimiah Fifield
  • Sam & Krissy Wojciechowski 
  • Elder Dean & Bernese Sloan
  • Elder Bruce & Lana Anderson

We also have a visionary and great leader Pastor Trachsel who along with our first lady Sister Ida continually keeps our focus on what really matters most and that is Souls. Everything we do is all about winning the lost. 

May the Lord Bless each of you for your burden and for your investment in the Kingdom of God. We are all truly doing the Lord’s business.

Sincerely,

Jeff Breza Outreach Minister
