of refuge and renewal powered by
Jesus Christ.
Dear Friends, God is good all the time. All the time God is good. Our theme at Home Sweet Home Ministries in 2014 was “Celebrating God’s Good Gifts” and we had much to celebrate.
We celebrate the gift of proclaiming God’s great love for all humankind and the many opportunities God gave us to share God’s love with our brothers and sisters.
We celebrate the partnerships in our ministry: partnerships among service participants, employees, volunteers, churches, community organizations, and supporters.
We celebrate God’s provision as we provided 29,402 nights of shelter to homeless men, women, and children, and 117,402 meals to hungry people.
We celebrate God’s gift of renewed lives, experienced through case management, counseling, and classes at the Billy Shelper Center, Bridge of Hope program, HSHRenew, Mobile Health Project, Bread for Life Food Co-op, and Faith and Finances classes.
In 2015 we continue to celebrate God’s goodness while we embrace a new theme of Reaching Out and Reaching Up. We will reach out to our surrounding community, strengthen current partnerships and form new partnerships. We will reach up, stretching ourselves and helping our neighbors stretch to become the people that God created us all to be.
In 2015 we will begin offering Jobs for Life classes in Lincoln. We will offer additional dates and sites for the Mobile Health Project. We will implement an advisory board for the Bread for Life Food Co-op. We will offer classes to co-op members and provide training for other organizations that wish to establish a food co-op. On April 27 – 29 we will host Robert Lupton, the author of Toxic Charity. We will hold our second annual Run for Hope on March 29 and our first annual “Night in a Car” on March 27. We will expand our recycling efforts, particularly of textiles.
Please join us as together we strive to fulfill our mission of serving Christ by providing food, shelter, and hope to people who are hungry, homeless, and hurting.
Thank you for your faithful support of Home Sweet Home Ministries through your prayers, gifts, and service.
