Helping The Homeless

"Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have
entertained angels without realizing it!" - Hebrews 13:2

"Then the King will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my
Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the creation of the world. For
I was hungry, and you fed me. I was thirsty, and you gave me a drink. I was a
stranger, and you invited me into your home.'" - Matthew 25:34-35

"What good is it, dear brothers and sisters, if you say you have faith but don’t show it by your actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone? 15 Suppose you see a brother or sister who has no food or clothing, 16 and you say, “Good-bye and have a good day; stay warm and eat well”—but then you don’t give that person any food or clothing. What good does that do?" So you see, faith by itself isn’t enough. Unless it produces good deeds, it is dead and useless. - James 2:14-17

"We know what real love is because Jesus gave up his life for us. So we also ought to give up our lives for our brothers and sisters. If someone has enough money to live well and sees a brother or sister in need but shows no compassion—how can God’s love be in that person? Dear children, let’s not merely say that we love each other; let us show the truth by our actions." -
I John 3:16-18

Sunrise and Lee are cooperating with the Portsmouth Volunteers For The Homeless and other local churches to provide a warm meal, nice atmosphere and warm place to sleep for some homeless people during the week of January 18-24, 2009. Thanks to the many who have signed up to serve and minister. Thanks to Mike Bailey for taking the lead in this venture. Please be praying. Thank God for a warm place to sleep and warm meals to eat.
