Food Preparation and Street Delivery
The next Saturday morning we go out and hand out the meal, usually a sandwich hot chocolate and a bottle of water, to those seeking work in the streets of Queens. We also give them information about free health care, food pantries, ESL programs, and free prescription discount cards. We invite them and their families to come for lunch, worship and fellowship. It is a great way to do what the bible teaches in a practical way while learning how blessed we are.
On Saturday afternoon we provide a lunch, a Bible Study and worship time . After the Bible study, we provide an English as a Second Language class. This is the time and place where lives change. We believe it is very important that we all learn the Bible and the English language. Our children have a special Saturday school of the bible.
After
our fellowship time on Saturday afternoon we provide food and clothing to take home to their families, to supplement their diet. During the winter months we collect men’s working coats, gloves and thermal underwear. During the summer, we collect boots and t-shirts. We also collect clothing for women, children and babies. During Christmas we do a toy drive for the children. And in the summer we do a drive for school supplies and set up health and emigration fairs.
