The Matthew 25:40 Project - Homeless outreach

“The Matthew 25:40 Project”

 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of min, you did for me.’ ” Matthew 25:40

 Mission:

To fullfill the call that is given in Matthew 25:34-40 by providing food to the hungry, water to the thirsty, clothing to the naked, personal care items to those in need, and the Living Word to those we encounter.

 The Call:

The homeless in our community are often shunned or forgotten, we are called to reach out to those who are hurting and show them the love of Christ. Please join us as we answer the call to love on the least of these. Our team will be filling care bags to hand out to the homeless in Suwannee County. We will also be creating relationships among this community of people by talking to them, offering them a helping hand, and taking the Living Word and Love of Christ to them.

The Vision:

Short Term: To reach every homeless and hurting soul within Suwannee County and then be able to expand into Hamilton and Madison Counties. Providing each homeless person with the things they can use to enhance their physical well-being, encouragement and love to help them emotionally, and guidance to grow them spiritually. Our long-term vision is to open a Life Center in Live Oak. This facility will hold a food pantry, clothes closet, showering facilities, laundry services, haircuts for homeless, faith-based counseling, Job-hunt assistance, and a cold night shelter. The ultimate vision: To see every soul accept Jesus Christ and surrender their life to him.
