Spending time with my 3 boys
Feeding the homeless
3 years ago my mother was praying, and was lead to make a video and ask for financial help to meet the needs of people on the street. She asked my oldest son if he would help her put the video on facebook (because she struggles with technology). Once the video was published she received 700 dollars in donations and feed 150 people. Be Our Guest Ministry was then formed. Three years later we have had thousands in donations and fed almost 4000 homeless and are working to getting a full time food truck on the road to meet the needs of our less fortunate brethren. God has been good and continues to bless and grow our ministry that my mother so faithfully began in diligent prayer.
