Love and Care Ministries began
as a vision that God placed in the hearts of two men who were called to minister
to the homeless of their community. God led these men to the streets, under
bridges and in abandoned buildings in the city where they would find people
in desperate need of unconditional love and care. With the mighty armor of prayer and twenty
large cups of hot soup in hand, they hit the streets that first Sunday in January
of 1995 from the back of a pick-up truck. But ministering to the homeless turned out
to be only one part of God’s plan for this ministry. After a few months
on the streets handing out sack lunches and ministering to the homeless God
began to show these two men that there was a huge need to help the poor in their
community as well. Through the provision of God and His people
these men were able to provide food, clothing, dental care and spiritual guidance
for the homeless and poor of Abilene. |
