The Journey Church - Showing Jesus Christ's Love To Our Homeless Community

 

Preach the Gospel at all times and if necessary, use words

You would be hard pressed to find a better example of this saying witnessing the Journey church in action going about our community

Showing, through action, the Love of Jesus Christ giving to the homeless the means to survive spiritually and physically on our streets.

Every third Saturday you can find their team compassionately giving out food, water, clothing, even dog food to those who have so very little.



Sixty food boxes, as well as forty sack lunches were given out on one Saturday alone.

And of course prayer was offered to those who spiritually feel that they need it for whatever reason.

They also offer food at their Church to those in poverty and meet their hunger needs.



It was an absolute pleasure to go out with them into the homeless community and meet them where they are.



The Team goes to the Cypress Street bridge, Library, and Masonic lodge area every third Saturday and I can tell you the homeless are very appreciative.


Unfortunately, talking to some of them, an added stress to being homeless is the Redding police constantly threatening to raid and disband their camps.

With nowhere to go, often they are driven to the outskirts of town where no homeless services are found for miles.

If you are interested in donating, volunteering, or attending this Holy Spirit filled church and ministry, you can find their Facebook page here
