When we first started this ministry, it was to reach the unloved of this world. We continue to reach out to the sinner, the lonely, the hurting, the homeless, the addicted, the abused, and even to those who take advantage of the system.

We have been called by the Holy Spirit, in the name of Jesus, to feed, clothe and comfort all of God's children. In addition, we will pray with and for them, and show them Jesus through our love. We are a foot washing ministry made up of many denominations, ages, races and cultures with one purpose to bring Jesus to a broken world.

Thursday marked the first day of a Choice Pantry system at Sugartree Ministries on Main Street. (In a previous post here, we discussed the benefits of choice pantries.) The clients who came in expecting their usual standardized bag of groceries were extremely pleased to find shelves full of items for their choosing.

Serving over 100 clients in under an hour can be a challenge even in the simplest of pantry systems. The Sugartree volunteers, however, took the new choice pantry idea in stride assisting clients in how many and which items to choose. 

"This is only the second time I've been here to get groceries," one client said. "But this is much better than last time, I'm going to bring back the things I won't use from last week's bag."

Several months ago, I registered shareHIMwith.me - I did so after I went through some pretty major withdraws to a medication that I was taking.  That was the closest to insanity I would ever care to get.  In the midst of that, God gave me a glimpse of what addicts go through.  I would never tell them, "I know how you feel".  No one knows exactly how they feel.  I can however, tell them how I felt.

ShareHIMwith.me is a site for anyone that wants to tell their story of how Jesus has set you free... from addiction, depression, helplessness, and fear.   How, in the midst of chaos, Jesus was there to help you find your sanity.  If you'd like to tell others what Jesus has done for you, please create an account and submit an 'article'.  It doesn't matter how big or small; if Jesus has touched you, we want to hear about it.   Share him with others.  ShareHimwith.me
