Around the Curb – October 2019

by | Oct 22, 2019 | Newsletter, Street Ministry

CONTINUE TO SHOW LOVE THROUGH THE HOLIDAYS!

We want to thank all of our amazing volunteers that have joined us on the streets this year! We praise God that 600+ kids were impacted weekly in the name of Jesus! Your partnership made that possible.

As our 2019 season on the streets wraps up, we want to encourage you to continue making your presence known in these kiddos’ lives. What better time of year than the Holidays to make that happen. Take a few kids trick-or-treating. Ask one of more to go to a high school or college football game or basketball game. Grant them an opportunity to have experiences like ice skating. Let them know they are loved! After all, it’s in the one-on-one time that you really get the opportunity to talk about Jesus.

Because we won’t be back on the streets until next year doesn’t mean your relationships with these kids have to end! Challenge yourself to engage more. Don’t forget to mark your calendars for our special events that will be happening very soon!

This is our first year doing a meal at BOTH sites. Hence, your support is warranted. Our kiddos are encouraged to bring their family members.

CURBSIDE CREW

Ethan Hunt

Lee Pointe

Each month we spotlight one of the MANY wonderful Curbside volunteers. This month we celebrate Ethan.

Ethan has been volunteering with Curbside for a little over a year. He volunteers at our Lee Pointe site.

Ethan stepped up and filled a huge need this past summer. We needed another speaker to energetically bring the message each week and Ethan answered that call. He continues to jump in and do whatever it takes for others to recognize and know the name of Jesus.

Ethan says his favorite part of Curbside is getting the opportunity to build relationships with kids each week and getting to point them to Christ. If you are thinking of serving at Curbside, Ethan’s advice for you is to do it! He believes Curbside is an incredible opportunity to build relationships and to share the Gospel with kids at this point in their lives! By sharing this with them you get the opporunity to point them to something that will satisfy them forever, where is Christ!

Thanks for all you do Ethan. We love you!
