This week alone:  We placed Jimmy into Safe Journey House, Cathy was accepted into Riverdale Presbyterian Church's shelter, and Lola and 2 little girls were accepted into Shepherd's Cove.  God has been so good to us as we endeavor to assist those in crisis to find safety and minister with practical evangelism. 

Through our partnering with churches, ministries, organizations, agencies, etc. Streetlights of Bethany has been able to assist all clients who have asked for assistance and truly wanted it.  Most notably University Christian Church's Jobs Outreach Ministry, Run Your Race Ministries, CUCE, Riverdale Presbyterian Church, Bladensburg Police Department, CCSi (the crisis hot line), Trinity Assembly of God, Samaritan Way, Christian Life Center, The Salvation Army, and The Department of Social Services have worked together with Streetlights in assisting our most vulnerable neighbors.  I say "wanted" because one client chose not to accept housing assistance and drug rehabilitation, another refused to accept assistance into the Salvation Army, admitting that he did not want to stop drinking. At least he was honest! 

We continue to provide follow up/ wrap around service to several clients and are encouraged to see them growing in The Lord and overcoming the barriers they have.  Thank you Jesus and thank you partners!
