Expansion of Our Mission - Total Transformation from warehouse... to Missions Base!

Thanks to SERVANTS HEART MINISTRY of CORNERSTONE CHRISTIAN

CHURCH in Wycoff, NJ, for taking on the project of The Relief Base Training and Mobilization Center. Once a warehouse, with the exception of our Relief Bus kitchen that was completed about 5 years ago. Once we realized how we were to utilize the building, the provision came. Servants Heart is a group of contractors, skilled men and women, who donate every Saturday to building projects for churches, missions, etc., without any charge. We now have a facility that can house up to 24 people, teams from all over the country that come to work with us up to a week at a time, sometimes longer. We now host over 5,000 volunteer occurrences each year, many who have stayed in local hotels, will now have the ability to stay right here, with enhanced training, worship and fellowship, and the ability to help the ministry with funds that would have gone to a hotel in the past. We are excited to see what God is going to do with our new facility! BOOK YOUR TEAM NOW as we are already booking for next summer!

SEARCH & RESCUE ... Coined name for our Friday night outreaches has recently taken on a new
dimension in its application. Lance Farrell, our Outreach Team Leader in charge of the Friday night outreach recently stepped up the response to the need of many in the city of Newark, further devastated by the faltering economy, drugs, prostitution, homelessness and hopelessness. Lance and some team members went searching inside the above pictured abandoned warehouse to nd a family living there. Thats right, man, wife and children. He was able to get the man into a Christian rehab program and the other family members help as well. NYCRs response to the increasing plight of the ever increasing poor and needy populations of New York and New Jersey has been steeped up in prayer and in action. Prostitution is on the increase especially in Harlem and higher up in Washington Heights. We have added a new spot in this area with an intense burden to combat the principalities and powers that inltrate the minds and hearts of the unsaved on multiple levels. Luke 14: The Master said, Go out into the roads, look in the hedges, whoever you nd, bring them in! I want my house full!

Nearing 21 Years in the Mission, we remain largly supported by friends like you who believe in the work that God has called us to. Please consider being a monthly partner with $25 to any amount . Becky is in college, Lauryn will be getting married, car insurance is through the roof, Steph and I work 2, 3 and 4 jobs to keep up with the bills. I KNOW more than anybody that things are tight everywhere. But to have a salary, we have to RAISE IT OURSELVES. That means we cans do this without people like YOU!! PLEASE CONSIDER THIS AND PRAY AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU ABUNDANTLY!
