Thanksgiving for the Homeless Instructions

Volunteers,

Please read this communication tonight, Tuesday, November 20th. These instructions and reminders should help the effectiveness of our ministry.

• PRAYER AND WITNESSING
Please pray tonight and throughout the day tomorrow for God to use this ministry for the gospel. As you interact with guests, there may be opportunities to pray with them regarding their personal concerns and burdens. This is an excellent intro to sharing your testimony of God's gracious salvation. We will have copies of the Gospel of John and other tracts available. Talk to Ken Risma as you need additional instruction.

• FLEXIBILITY
This link accesses our volunteer sign up sheet. Please prepare to be flexible as needed. As the day progresses, you may be asked to do a different job than you originally signed up for. We are volunteering to serve with EDBB and desire to follow their lead in how we fulfill this ministry. If you have a serious concern, please contact Pastor Nathan Steadman (816-510-4789) or Pastor Bryan Malik (970-215-4393).

• TRANSPORTATION
We will be using both church vans to shuttle volunteers to East Denver Bible Baptist Church (5500 E 26th Ave, Denver, CO 80207). If we run out of space in the vans, we may need volunteers to drive or carpool in separate vehicles.
Morning shift volunteers - 8:00am Leave Tri-City; 1:45pm Arrive Tri-City
Afternoon shift volunteers - 12:00pm Leave Tri-City; 5:45pm Arrive Tri-City
​All-day volunteers - 8:00am Leave Tri-City; 5:45pm Arrive Tri-City

• LUNCH
Volunteers may eat the Thanksgiving lunch provided at East Denver Bible Baptist (EDBB).

• BELONGINGS
All personal belongings should remain on your person throughout the day. There is no safe area to leave belongings at EDBB. Please do not bring purses or wear expensive jackets/jewelry. Personal items can be stolen and should not be left in the vans. Our vehicles will be used to shuttle homeless and meals throughout the day.

• REQUESTS FOR ASSISTANCE
This Thanksgiving outreach is a ministry of food, clothing and hope in the gospel. We are not able to assist individuals financially. Please refer requests for monetary assistance to Pastor Loren Richmond or his wife Kathleen.

Thank you for being willing to serve the Lord and demonstrate His love in our city. May God use His people for His glory this Thanksgiving!

Pastor Nathan Steadman
