24 Years Here - 8 Years There

That adds up to many years of ministering to the homeless, impoverished, and the hurting. And I do not regret any of it. Would I do anything differently? Of course. We all would. Hindsight is so wonderful; but meaningless if you don't learn from it.

We moved into 316 Jefferson St. in December of 1993 Making an empty building into a shelter, storage, kitchen, bathroom and showers. Now, we feed an average of 120 or more meals a day and sleep 35-40 people per night. Unfortunately, the city wants and is going to plant more trees and put in sidewalks and bike lanes. Forget the homeless! But not entirely, for they realize that full Spirit Ministries and Open Door Mission are needed. Please pray for hurting people and for our city government. What's next? I am only certain that we are needed and so are you!

Holidays are coming on. Prices are going up. Utilities are increasing. There are more hurting people to help. You have brought us through the years. Even more of your financial help is needed now.

What we do is help people.

What we need is more of you!

Working together to help others who cannot help themselves.

You get mailings to send your donations to Denver. Why? We need you here!

Can we in turn help you? Christ is the answer for all of us. We are the body, working together for Christ, the head.

In Christ,

Rev. Thebo

By the way....I just had my second 35th birthday, and I'm feeling great!

A note about this Christian ministry.....

We strive to help and accommodate everyone we can in the name of Jesus Christ.

We do not voice an opinion on political matters, or people's beliefs in any political matters. We strive to help feed, clothe, shelter and counsel, get jobs, etc. Many programs are done by other agencies. We look to the inner person first: spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally. This starts with Christ. The Word says Christ is the respecter of no persons. This means He cares for us all equally. That doesn't mean we agree on everything privately - on different matters. It does mean that we love and care for all without prejudice. If you would ever like to say something about what we do in the name of Christ, PLEASE write us and set up a time to come by. I will give you a personal tour of where God has Opened the Doors to help people.

Your friend and brother in Christ,

Rev. Thebo
