๐โค๏ธ Serving the Least of These, Together โค๏ธ๐
A heartfelt THANKS to St. Maryโs Redbank Church & 11 Oaks Farms for donating over $40,000 in meat & freezers to bless our community. ๐ฅฉโ๏ธ
The Southern Clarion County Regional Police Department, including Chief of Police Robert Malnofsky Jr., Police Secretary Debra Schrecengost, and the President of the SCCRPD & Mayor of New Bethlehem, Rev. Dr. Gordon V. Barrows, visited the Just For Jesus Challenge Homeless Outreach in Brockway, serving the New Bethlehem & Redbank Valley area. ๐๐ค
Residents were deeply moved as several freezers full of meat, along with a washing machine, were donated to the shelter. The visit concluded with heartfelt fellowship & Mayor Barrows leading prayer, reflecting Christโs call: โWhatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me.โ (Matthew 25:40) ๐โจ
Led by Bishop Jack Wisor, the Just For Jesus Challenge Homeless Outreach continues to live out Godโs Word by offering rooms, clothing, and food assistance. The ministry is located at 14530 Route 28, Brockway, PA 15824, can be reached at 814-265-0243, and more information is available at www.justforjesushomeless.bravehost.com.
