Thanksgiving in Lakewood Print
On Saturday, November 22nd, we held our first Thanksgiving Lakewood Outreach. The temperature was freezing, with a chill factor of 16 degrees. With the ‘Son’ shining in the hearts of over 70 volunteers, we brought the love of Jesus to the Township of Lakewood. The common thought was, "If homeless people can live in this cold, we can certainly go for four hours and bring them a hot meal and a warm coat."

When we arrived with the truck at 11:00 am, about 20 homeless people were waiting for us. They were literally putting coats on as we unloaded them from the truck. It was quite emotionally moving. From the start, we were glad to be there!

During the course of the day, over 500 people came into the Square. We served a hot turkey dinner, with all the fixings. Tables and chairs were set up in the middle of the square, and while they ate, testimonies were shared, prayer was going forth, and music filled the air. There was prayer for jobs, families, finances, healing, and salvation, and we received many praise reports.

Along with the hot meal, over 500 coats, plus hats, gloves, scarves, and blankets were given out. Many received Christ as their Lord and Savior. Everyone who came was given a Bible in either English or Spanish. We actually ran out of Spanish Bibles!

We thank God for the opportunity to serve the hurting and lost of Lakewood. Jesus said "the fields are white unto harvest." The hearts in Lakewood are ready! Will you go? For more information, contact me at judi4him@yahoo.com.
