Safe and Warm


After months of preparation, failed attempts, prayer we now have a overnight shelter for the next 2 months of winter. Feed My Sheep's winter overnight shelter began in Mid November and we have been open for 2 weeks now. A local church, Sonlight Foursquare, offered us their building free of charge, save a little bit of money for utilities. After much prayer and concern that the homeless would be sleeping outside in the snow I got to watch as God once again provided for his children. If that were not enough blessings, North Fork Baptist Church in Paonia donated a 15 passenger van to Feed My Sheep for the winter to bus people back and forth.

Another church has offered their building for the second 2 months of winter but that is pending approval from the city. We are so thankful to serve a God who not only knows our needs but cares enough to listen to answer our prayers. I can rest a little easier knowing that no one in the roaring fork valley has to spend a winter night outside. Thank you all for your prayers!
