Always honored to be a part of Jesus Festival which is an annual event that celebrates Jesus! I was honored to be there for the whole weekend and present our ministry to the wonderful people who came through. Unless you are there and fellowship with these wonderful individuals it’s hard to understand why I think so highly of this group. It’s not about this ministry or that ministry, it’s not about recognition anyone but Jesus Christ! I truly think everyone who attends and is open to the Spirit of God will be blessed, touched and challenged as it is not about us but about Him. 3 souls were Baptized, and many ministers spoke salvation messages and touched many who attended. The free food is always a blessing and the atmosphere is HEAVEN as everyone is there to help and enjoy being with Jesus people from all over!

It takes a lot of patience and dedication to make mats and blankets for our unhoused and I thought I would let you know we are showing these wonderful ladies so you understand that helping people has many moving parts. Thank God for these wonderful ladies who work all year long so we can help those in trouble.

Dear friends, I know many of you have different opinions and experiences when it comes to the homeless and I love our community. But know this we will not always agree on what I do and why. Since 1991 I have been working with many different communities and have had the pleasure to see many people get set free from life controlling problems. It is a fact that addictions require you to make sacrifices in order to feed that addiction.

When it comes to hardcore addictions such as m**h, crack co***ne, And such. I have witnessed fast how a marriage can be broken and a house is no longer a home. I have seen how jobs are lost leading to the beginning of a bitter battle and crossroads where you must make a decision.

There is no getting away from this fact. You can keep yielding to the addiction which leads to bills becoming passed due and eventually eviction. It’s not a popular topic, those addicted rarely want to talk about due to the weight of guilt and shame.

But in the beginning of addiction
I have witnessed many come to their senses and scream

“what in the world am I doing”

I have seen people stop and take steps to stop the cycle that would have cost them to lose their home, job, and way of life.

Some of you are stuck in addiction of some sort. And you may feel uncomfortable talking to someone about.

But…….

Know this…..

It’s always uncomfortable to share your pain,
You’re shame,
You’re situation.

But……

Do it away!

You don’t have to fight this alone!

I am just a man and I had to overcome all this myself!

My Name is Joseph Romero.

What a lovely day taking the road to deliver to those who are really appreciative and in need. We don’t judge. We know life happens and there are some curve balls. But while you transition and find yourself in trouble we recommend Indiana 211. Dial 211 and ask for help. Yes we have been working with 211 for years!
