REACHING THE LEAST, THE LAST, THE LOST
He is risen
Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though
he were dead, yet shall he live:
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
John 11: 25-26
Dear Supporters and Friends,
As we celebrate the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, we praise the
Lord for what He has done for us. The Bible says we are all sinners and we
cannot save ourselves. The Lord came down to do for us what we cannot do
for ourselves. He paid our sin debt! In order to go to Heaven, Jesus said we
must repent and trust in Him personally. He paid it all! All I can say is, this is one sinner that
He has saved. I pray you have trusted in Him for your salvation.
I want to thank all of you for your support and prayers. I also want to thank our staff
who volunteer their services to the Mission. They work long hours, without much off-time, to
serve the Lord here at the Mission. We would like to thank all of you that support the Mission
on a regular monthly basis. Because of your regular support, we are able to supply the needs
of those who come to us for help. Also, special thanks to all of you who have donated items
to the Mission.
We are running full at the Men’s Division, also full at the Women’s & Children’s
Shelter. We had a graduation last month for the men and women who have finished the New
Beginnings program. For the next several months, donations usually fall off. We would
appreciate your continued prayers and support during the spring and summer months. Also,
we are always in need of non-perishable food items. We are feeding over 7,000 meals per
month and providing food bags to needy families. Whatever you are able to do to help us will
be a blessing to those in need.
We hope you and your family have a blessed Easter.
Thank you.
Saved to serve,
Bro. Larry
