Article In the Kitsap Sun - it seems that so many people are turning more
attention to the needs of the poor in this economic climate and in this
season of the year. We are honored to be part of the solution. Read how by clicking the link.
We
are thrilled with the response we've seen at our new Monday night
dinner service in west Bremerton. Despite a strong rain, we delivered
help and hope - twenty-one guests enjoyed excellent enchiladas and
Spanish rice at our second Monday night dinner (watch a 2:12 video from our second Monday night).
There
is a big need in west Bremerton but very few services and our dinner
guests appreciate the dinner and the care behind it. My hat is off to
the many volunteers who are serving - even out in the rain. The
challenge we face apparently is not getting folks to dinner; it will be
getting folks out of the kind of life that has as its conclusion that
living out in the cold, disconnected and alone is okay.
Our goal is to multiply the dinner service sites and utilize our mobile equipment as effectively as we can to serve as many as we can - hygiene, meals and love and acceptance. Our vision is beyond that, however: we believe that some of the men and women who now eat dinner with us will one day serve Christ as residents of the Rescue Mission's Discipleship Homes.
Thank you for caring enough to give men and women opportunity to find help and hope.
