Text Box: An Outreach of Full Spirit Ministries Text Box: OPEN DOOR MISSION FEBRUARY NEWSLETTER HELP! And we do! Yes, Donations are down dangerously but successes of getting people on their feet and permanently out of shelters is on the rise. We are concentrating on those who want a hand up not just a hand out. Is it working? YES! And YES! Do we still need help ? Absolutely. Your partnership, your financial, volunteer, and gifts in kind is doing the job. So I know January was unusual but not permanent. Partners keep on keeping on in helping the homeless. The utilities have skyrocketed as you know, but so has our love and hurt for the homeless. You are needed even more and in every capacity. God bless you for caring and helping our homeless. They come in tears and leave learning how to handle tomorrow because of you. In Christ name Rev.

I Corinthians 13: 3-7

 

If I gave everything I have to the poor and even sacrificed my body, I could boast about it, but if I didn’t love others, I would be of no value whatsoever.  Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.  Love does not demand its own way.  Love is not irritable, and it keeps no record of when it has been wronged.  It is never glad about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.  Love never gives up, never loses faith,   is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
