ABOUT THE MISSION
The street ministry team never ceases to amaze us. That is always our largest team because of how it draws people out of their comfort zone to serve others. Beautiful Feet offers the opportunity to minister to people that our team may not have the opportunity to minister to in their home towns. Several of our team members shared that they have been in church all their lives, and that this was the first time that they have ever prayed for someone "on the spot."
Being the hands and feet of Jesus, and obeying what He calls us to do not only grows the faith of those we minister to, but also the faith of our team members. Many have shared that they came expecting to be a blessing to the homeless and the Beautiful Feet staff, but found out that the homeless were more of a blessing to them, and the Beautiful Feet staff always calls us to step up and get out of our comfort zone.
As usual, the construction team showed up and showed out. The following are just some of the projects that were completed this year:
Texture and pain the clothing room by the sanctuary
Installed a drop ceiling
Installed troffer lights
Repaired the wire for the security cameras & ran conduit for them
Raised ceiling fans in the sanctuary for the new sound booth
Installed new lights in the sanctuary
Cleaned up projector wiring
Installed a bicycle pump for the homeless to use
Secured the main gate by welding it to the curb for long term security
