Life can hit us from all different directions and cause us to lose sight of Jesus by putting our attention on ourselves and our difficult circumstances.

When that happens, one of the best ways I’ve found to pull ourselves out of that pit is to help others who are struggling, give to those in need, or serve the less fortunate. Doing these simple acts can restore our joy while we weather the storms in our lives.

Jesus said in Acts 20:35, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” His words were not a cliché but a fact.

I talk to many people who serve alongside us at Fred Jordan Missions, unselfishly giving their time and resources. They tell me that, in return for their good deeds, benevolence, and donations, they are the ones who reap the benefits in so many ways.

IT TRULY IS BETTER TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE.

I invite you to join my friends and get involved by blessing those on Skid Row. Here are three ways you can make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate:

SERVE
Serving the homeless on Skid Row helps them feel loved, cared for, and like they matter to God. In return, you feel blessed for “being steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 15:58).
GIVE
Giving to the work of Fred Jordan Missions enables us to continue declaring and demonstrating the love of Jesus to the hurting, homeless, helpless, and hopeless. In return, you experience God’s blessings because “it is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).
PRAY
Praying for those hurting on Skid Row is a powerful way to intervene in their lives and make a difference every day. In return, “the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:7).

With summer upon us, we will provide thousands of gallons of fresh drinking water, nutritious meals, fresh produce and dairy, hygiene products, and lighter clothing to those on the streets to help them endure the heat.

Please consider making the most generous gift possible to help us keep up with summer demands. We need your help today more than ever.

God bless you,
JOE JORDAN
President/Senior Pastor
