Get Schooled on the Felt Needs of Our City.




Hey guys, our friend and sister Deborah Barnes is organizing this meet to be held on the 21st so that we, as the body of Christ, can be informed on the needs of the homeless in our city, and how we can minister as the hands and feet of Jesus Christ, Act 4:30.

Are you called to serve but don't know how?
Are you being convicted but aren't sure where to serve?
Do you have the heart but are afraid?
Do you just have questions about the homeless and broken?
Come be informed

THIS MEETING IS FOR YOU!

The homeless and broken are growing in numbers daily. There is a huge need to come serve alongside them and get to know them. Mom’s with kids, young families, Vet’s, teens, and many middle aged women are living in their cars or on the street, scared and alone. 28 deaths happened that we know of in 2009. 22 in Ventura. 8000 are homeless in Ventura and no new numbers were available for SB. 14 known are homeless in Carpinteria.

This is a fact-finding meeting that will provide you with some information that may help your choices about serving the homeless and broken in several ways.

We will have 2 brief speakers:

*Dr Lynne Jahnke, SB oncologist has served the homeless for 15 years

*Jeff Shaffer from Uffizi Mission Project who is on mission working full time with the homeless and poor

Deborah Barnes with Blanket Blessing will share the needs
