Many years ago the "Homeless Christian Outreach" was birthed in an individual's heart from Bethel. He shared his vision with the leadership of Bethel and from that time right up to today, that ministry continues to grow and reach out to those who are in need. That ministry became known as "Homeless Christian Outreach."
Under the direction of Doug Mummert, the HCO ministers at various times and locations throughout the month. The ministry provides food, clothing, personal supplies, blankets, and most importantly, the compassion and love of Jesus Christ to every person they come into contact with during their many Outreaches throughout the month.
Monthly Ministry Opportunities of the Homeless Christian Outreach
On the second Saturday of each month a team from the HCO travels to the Gettysburg Shelter where they serve a meal to those who are at the Shelter. They also set up their HCO Truck where they give out clothing and personal items and then have a time of preaching the Word through two Bible Studies - one for men and one for women. They also are provided the opportunity to ministry and have prayer with those in attendance.
On the third Thursday of each month a member of the HCO ministers at the Adams County Rescue Mission service. There is also a time for ministry and prayer at the closing of the service.
On the third Saturday of each month a team from the HCO travels to Gettysburg and prepares a hot lunch at the Gettysburg Soup Kitchen. Before the meal they have time to share the gospel to those who gathered to have lunch and they are able to pray and minister to people at that time.
On the fourth and fifth Friday of each month a team from the HCO travels to the Baltimore Mission where they provide a meal, blankets, clothing and personal items. They are able to preach the gospel and provide ministry time to those who attend.
Above are those Outreaches that happen on a monthly basis by a team of wonderful volunteers who love to reach out to people and to share the truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
There are other ministry opportunities that take place throughout the year that the HCO team is a part of: 1) Provide food and drinks at the annual "Light the Night" in October; 2) Ministry on the streets of Baltimore handing out food, clothing, blankets and personal items; 3) HCO has traveled to New York during the winter to hand out blankets and other supplies; 4) The HCO has partnered with the Littlestown Ministerium to help with any immediately homeless needs as they arise.
Thank you so much for your prayerful and financial support of this ministry. If you have any questions on how you can get involved with the HCO, please call the Church Office at (717) 359-4675.
