And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Amen.
(Matthew 28:18-20) |

So who are you really? Is this just another internet scam? Aren't homeless people all drug addicts and alcoholics? What do they care about Jesus? I don't have much money. Are there other ways to help? How can my church group get involved? Shouldn't more attention be given to food and shelter? Why do you have two addresses? You're a non-profit right? Why do you have Google ads on your Links page? Are there other things I can do? How can I find out more? So who are you really? We are just folks who, acting in faith, are taking our Lord's message of hope and salvation to people who may not otherwise be reached. Is this just another internet scam? Nope. This is for real. Our address and phone number are on the Contact page. Please call or write. Become a participant in this ministry. Aren't homeless people all drug addicts and alcoholics? What do they care about Jesus? Actually, the average age of a homeless person living in the US is nine years-old. Our Lord Jesus spent a great deal of his time reaching out to the downtrodden and outcasts of society. Regardless of the reasons for a person's situation, they (like ourselves) are all children of God and we are called to reach out to them in the name of Christ. I don't have much money. Are there other ways to help? Yes! First of all, pray for us and the people we serve. Additionally, we are always looking for people to write devotional messages for Couriers. Are you bi-lingual? We need translators. Do you feel comfortable talking to groups? We need people to bring this program to churches and church women's and men's groups. Check out our Presenter Program. For more information, call one of the numbers on the contact page. How can my church group get involved? We are always looking for support and people to open doors for us. Do you have a shelter, soup kitchen, or food pantry in you community? Contact them to see if they would be willing to distribute couriers. Call or write for more ways to get involved. Shouldn't more attention be given to food and shelter? The phrases most often repeated by our Lord Jesus are "Do not be afraid" and "Peace be with you". Although food and shelter are vital to a person's survival, so is the word of God. We are looking to feed people's souls while others feed the body. You're a non-profit right? Why do you have Google ads on your Links page? Yes, we are non-profit. Sadly, most things (like paying for this web page) require money. These ads offset a small portion (very small) of the costs. If you find something offensive popping up, please contact me (Dennis, the webmaster) immediately and I will put a stop to it. Why do you have two addresses? This ministry started in Toms River, NJ. On a recent visit to Minnesota, co-founders Clark and Jean Paradise met with people who eagerly embraced the ministry and established an office in their church. We are looking to expand even further. If you feel you are called to participate in this ministry, call or write us. Are there other things I can do? Pray. Write your legislators. Ask them to support legislation that ensures a living wage, affordable housing, affordable daycare, affordable healthcare. Oh..and pray some more. How can I find out more? Call us today. We would love to hear from you. |
