The New Begining!


This Amazing God given ministry began in August 2008.
Throughout the year we endured rain, ice, heat, bugs and wind, yet every Thursday
night from 5pm to 6.30pm we have served on average 60 people- Men, Women and Children.
We have seen volunteers come and go throughout the year, helping in every way they can.

Since June 2009 we have expanded our ministry to Monday nights, as we saw the need and had the volunteers needed to pull off another evening of Hot-Dogs!

God has been so faithful in providing helpers and finances for the two nights a week we have had the ministry.
During the end of July we took a break from Thursday night hotdogs as we were loosing our main volunteers - as they graduated and began their lives in new places!
Yet again the lord has put it on our hearts to start up the ministry, and so here we are!! Round two!

Chris Roth and I have such a desire to see the glory of God seep into the streets of Charleston and into the lives of the Men, Women and Children who have suffered from so many hardships throughout their lives to leave them where they are today.
BUT! There is hope!
Jesus is the hope of our nations and we believe this, and live it!
Although we serve hot dogs to these people that is certainly not all.
We desire to bring compassion, love, friendship and hope to the lives of these amazing people and restore at least some light into the darkness they have endured.

As we bring this ministry to the Lord and continue to have Him at the forefront of every decision we make, we would love any extra help we can get from volunteers to finances to prayers to equipment anyway you feel led to help would be such a huge blessing to us!

We look forward to keeping this blog updated with stories of the people we serve, prayer requests and other such events coming up as we continue to serve these people and bring Jesus into the light.
