Report on Backside of Race Track
Liberty Hill met with Pastor Harris in June to discuss needs for the Backside of the Race Track Ministry. There are three major areas of concern:
Food Pantry
Bedding
Clothing for Winter
It is our hope that with the support of our sister churches in ABC, we will be blessed to take care of each of these needs. The preliminary plans for each area are identified below.
Food Pantry
This is an ongoing
concern. We hope to keep the food pantry stocked with enough food to provide
for at least one entire season. By the 5th Sunday in August, we
would like to be ready to stock the pantry for the coming Fall
season. Food items may be delivered to the Backside of the Race Track (
Food items suggested for the pantry:
Beef Stew
Canned Tuna
Ramen noodles
Hearty soups
Corn tortillas
Rice
Chili with beans
Beef Stew
Peanut Butter
Jelly
Powdered Milk
Canned vegetables
Other items needed for food pantry:
Small refrigerators (new or used)
Small microwave ovens (new or used)
Coolers of any kind or
size
Styrofoam coolers
Bedding
Once the Food Pantry is stocked, we want to move to the other two identified areas. Our focus for October Mission Sunday will be to help prepare for colder weather. Since those using the bedding may need to transport the items with them as they move from one work location to the next, bedding that is easily folded and carried would be beneficial. Items suggested:
Folding cots
Camping cots
Padded exercise mats
Blankets
Clothing for Winter
This area is also part of the October focus. We would like to be in a position to provide clothing that is new, not used, and protects against winter weather. Items suggested:
Gloves
Long Johns
Under shirts
Under shorts
Sweatshirts
Waterproof parkas
We appreciate your interest and participation in this missionary work. As God continues to bless us each day and provides us the opportunity to be a blessing to others, we ask for His continued guidance. We hope you will respond with an acknowledgement that your church will participate and provide us with contact names, phone numbers and/or email addresses.
