Why We Outreach to the needy and the lost.

Our Mission

Our Mission is to provide, Ministering and witnessing to the lost to help bring them to Christ.  We are dedicated to putting this mission into action by providing a full range of charitable, religious and community development activities.  

To furnish the needy and others with items they need such as, Hygiene products, food, clothing, blankets, bibles, tracts etc....These activities help the needy, families, and community to realize that there are people whom care, and help them realize the relationship that they can have with God through faith in Jesus Christ. The activities and services of Outreach "Hope" John 3:16 are available to all residents of the communities in which it serves without regard for income, race, color, national origin, religion or handicap of the participants. Some activities, because of their specific purpose and goals, are limited by age or gender.


We know some people whose lives have been dramatically affected by the economy and we think as it progresses we will all know people who will go through struggles as a result. The important thing to remember in the midst of the chaos is that God is in control.


We are an Outreach that believes that when our bills are paid and there is food on our tables, we are to help those less fortunate.  So we do what we can to collect needed items for the less fortunate.  We hold raffles, collect donations, and will be having hot dog sales. We donate part of our funds from items purchased through our businesses to the needy.   


We believe in the commandments of God and we adhere to them.   And we believe if you truly have God in your heart, you can and will be a cheerful giver, and doing it only in love and compassion and not for men to see.  


God's heart goes out to the poor and needy. Through His Word in these giving bible verses we are encouraged and share His love and goodness with others.  We can't out-give God, but it doesn't hurt to try! :)  When we donate to charity, when we give faithfully, we reap the joy of sharing and God pours out His blessing!


 Proverbs 22:9 A generous man will himself be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor.


 Proverbs 29:7 The righteous care about justice for the poor, but the wicked have no such concern.



Luke 6:38 Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."



1 John 3: 17-18  If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? 18 Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth.


Homelessness in the United States On any given night, approximately 750,000 men, women, and children are homeless in the US. Over the course of a year, between 2.5 and 3.5 million people will live either on the streets or in an emergency shelter.(Homelessness in the United States of America. Prepared by the National Alliance to End Homelessness.)




The Sheep and the Goats 


Mat 25:31When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

Mat 25:32And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats:

Mat 25:33And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

Mat 25:34Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

Mat 25:35For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

Mat 25:36Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Mat 25:37Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave [thee] drink?

Mat 25:38When saw we thee a stranger, and took [thee] in? or naked, and clothed [thee]?

Mat 25:39Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

Mat 25:40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me.

Mat 25:41Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Mat 25:42For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

Mat 25:43I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Mat 25:44Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Mat 25:45Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me.

Mat 25:46
And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life
eternal.
