Abstract: The Acts 29 group has been asked to partner with You Matter Ministries to serve those in need. You Matter Ministries is a Christian organization who serves the spiritual and physical needs of the homeless in one of the poorest areas of Phoenix, Arizona. This will be an amazing opportunity for Acts 29 to serve the “least of these” in our community and to engage in fellowship with the larger body of Christ.
Who:
CCA’s very own Acts 29 ministry in partnership with Revive Christian Fellowship.
What:
At this event we will work together to serve food, clothes, encouragement, and the gospel to the homeless in Phoenix AZ. We have a catering company serving food that saturday but we do need FOUR volunteers to make grab-n-go sandwiches. Please talk to Thorsen if you feel led. Bring spare clothes as there is a cloths drive for those we serve.
When:
Saturday August, 6 2022 from 7:00am-12:30pm. When we arrive at 7:00am, setup will begin. At 8am pastor Jon Young will give a short sermon at the distribution site. Then at 9:00am we will begin serving food, clothes, and the love of Christ. Around 11:30am we will pack up shop, and debrief together.
Where:
3030 West Van Buren Street, Phoenix, Arizona 85009, United States. Keep in mind parking is very limited so carpooling is highly encouraged.
Why:
According to the City of Phoenix Human Services there are 7,500 homeless individuals in the city. This is an opportunity to perform the great commission and share the gospel (Mark 16:15), provide for their basic needs (Mat 25:40), and build relationships (1 John 4:7) with this population who desperately needs it.
