Reaching out to the Homeless
One of the most important parts of Love In Action Ministries is supplying inner city churches
who reach out to the homeless and working poor with hygiene items and other
supplies. This helps them more effectively reach out to the "least
of these."

Love In Action reaches out to the homeless throughout the nation to fulfill its mission of "proclaiming the gospel of Jesus Christ through acts of compassion." We want to be God's hands and feet by fulfilling what Jesus said in Matthew 25:35-36: "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."
On June 1, 2007,Love In Action mailed 44 pounds of new white tube socks to Sunset Park Community Church in Brooklyn, NY, to help with their homeless ministry. Pastor Larry Pitta was excited to receive the socks. The homeless have told us over the years that socks are like gold to them, because they are constantly on their feet.
On Saturday, March 31, 2007, we delivered a pickup truck load of supplies to The Ordinary People Society (T.O.P.S.) in Dothan, Ala. T.O.P.S. does a great job of reaching out to the homeless and working poor in Dothan. T.O.P.S. not only provides food, clothes and a place to take a shower, but the ministry also works with them on getting their GEDs and providing job training skills. Love In Action delivered food and paper supplies for the soup kitchen, which feeds 110-120 people daily, and hygiene supplies for the shower ministry.
These are just a couple of examples of what Love In Action does each month. We can't do any of it without your prayers and financial assistance.

Project Eagle's Nest

Project Eagle's Nest is an outreach Love In Action began in December 2004 to help Eagle's Nest Ministry in Atlanta reach out to the homeless. Thanks to your donations we are able to help support Eagle's Nest with their Bath Ministry. Every Wednesday homeless women come to shower and the men come on Thursdays. They are able to get clean and have their clothes washed. It's an awesome ministry and a great way to reach the homeless with the love of Jesus Christ. Together, we are all making a difference in the lives of the homeless.

Project Sunset Park

Project Sunset Park is an outreach Love In Action began to help our friends at Sunset Park Community Church in Brooklyn, NY, reach out to the homeless through their Shower and Clothes Washing Ministry. Pastor Larry Pitta and the good folks at Sunset Park Community Church have been serving the homeless lunch twice a week for a number of years. They have a great heart for reaching the homeless. Their Shower and Clothes Washing Ministry helps them to further reach the homeless with the love of Jesus Christ.
As part of the ministry each person is given an opportunity to establish their own locker that will secure their hygiene items, have a freshly washed towel waiting for them and a newly washed set of clothes that they had dropped off the previous week. Love In Action assists them with this incredible outreach. It's a great ministry and it's making a difference in the lives of the homeless in Brooklyn. Your support helps make it possible. Thank you!
