That's our gear right there for the 8 am service in Linn Park. The van was donated- and then painted. The Trailer was built from scratch (see the video below).
Each week, we take church outside to the streets before our 10:30 service at the warehouse, inside. There are many homeless in Birmingham (2,400, according to The Birmingham News), and so we go to them, and to many families who know that we will be outside and will be available to assist whatever needs may arise.
In the past year, we have used this venue to take people off the street and provide them with housing and jobs. Others have been placed into the program at The Village. Others have been assisted in other ways...
If you're free that early, feel free to join us. It's one of the highlights of Noah's (5) week. And, at this age, he is already convinced that he can help a homeless person find Jesus, find housing, and find a job... b/c he's been with me when I've done it.
(You can email me if you want more info.)
Here's what The Trailer looks like from concept to implementation:
As well, here's a short overview of what we did with the Trailer one Sunday when it rained and we had to take the thing under the bridge, under I-20/59 near the west side of the Civic Center/ 19th Street)- yes, we do this rain or shine, regardless of how hot or cold it is....
Hey. The trailer of the trailer's good. There's a soccer game on our house on Friday the 20th...we're doing it. Anyone who wants to come can.
Also, I have some books. The girl craft, cooking and story is avalible and the boy story is avalible. They are 5.00 dollars each, but if you recieve on as a gift you get it free.
