2022 has truly been a remarkable year! This is the Lord’s doing and it is marvelous in our eyes!! We give glory, thanks and praise to our Lord Jesus Christ for an exciting year. We had our challenges and difficulties but through it all, we shared the Gospel, love, compassion and mercy of our Lord with many people! 

The Care Packs we give during street ministry outreaches include the Gospel of John or Daily Bread, a hot lunch or dinner sandwich, snacks, fruit, water, pudding and other things that are helpful for anyone living on the streets. During winter, we give socks, gloves, toques, scarves and other items to help keep people warm.
