Real Faces Real Need



These are the real faces of despair, bondage, hopelessness, hurt, pain, and sickness, among many
 other things but these are also the faces of the people we love and are called to love.

 It's different now. It used to be when we would pull up to a stop light and see a homeless person on the corner; I couldn't wait for the light to change. I did everything I could to not look into their eyes. I was not willing to see their hurt. I might feel something that made me uncomfortable. That was until God did something deep inside of me that made me desire to see behind the eyes of the hurting on the street. He made me want more than to just give to them, He made me want to know them, see them for who He said they were, and love them deeper than I ever thought I could.
God gave me a desire to give hope to the homeless.

That is what this blog is about. We are here to bring a realness to the need, to put a face with the pain. To show that the homeless are people too, just like you and me. A Hope (A Hope for the Homeless) is out on the streets bringing them the love of Jesus Christ. We do that by cooking and delivering them warm meals on the streets, coat drives, purchasing and passing out deodorant and hyigene items, among many other things. Whatever we are able to give we are giving and we want you to join us. If you would like to donate or volunteer please contact us. You will be blessed.
