What We Do ...
We provided a warm meal and clothing to the homeless every Saturday in downtown Indy.
We visited the prisons of Indiana thru weekly Bible study classes.

There is a desperate need in all communities for this ministry.
We also provide assistance to men, women and their family's being released from prison
who are hungry for the positive change ONLY Jesus can give.
IF YOU SHOW A MAN JESUS - YOU CAN TELL HIM ABOUT JESUS.

Why we do what we do ... Matthew 25: :34 "Then the King will say to those on his right, `Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'

37 "Then the righteous will answer him, `Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?'

40 "The King will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.'

41 "Then he will say to those on his left, `Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.'

44 "They also will answer, `Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?'

45 "He will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.'

46 "Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life."  

We would love the opportunity to explain to you, and your congregation of the work we are doing here in Indianapolis.  We can even bring along some people that we have helped, then we/they can explain how God brought them from the streets of Indy to the streets of Gold.
