Winter Relief Homeless Shelter
Riva Trace Baptist Church
December 22-29, 2008

The purpose of the Winter Relief shelter is to:

1.  Glorify our awesome God by demonstrating God's love to the homeless through caring ministries, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ, and discipleship.

2. Help ease the suffering of our homeless neighbors by providing a safe, warm, comfortable, and loving environment.

3. Give them a sense of community.

4. Be a blessing to the spiritual growth of the church.

5. Receive the blessings and joy of rich spiritual growth that results from our obedience of active faith to our Lord and Savior. Many Christians who have worked in the missions' field will tell you that they receive more blessings than they give.
