Our Method of Witnessing to The Homeless

When starting this ministry Beautiful Feet Outreach three years ago, Alice and I discovered, that most seasoned homeless people ( I prefer calling them mortgageless people ) Have heard the term born again, and the phrases, “Jesus loves you and has a plan for your life…” and ”…ask Jesus into your heart…” more times then they care to. Many have had life beat them up, chew them up and spit them out and don’t care to hear religious platitudes from people smelling of perfume or aftershave, wearing clean clothes with there bellies full and their bodies rested from a good nights sleep in a clean warm comfortable bed. What’s more, they know they won’t see those sandwich toting, tract distributing Christias again until the next “Feed The Homeless Day”. They are looking for and need someone who will love them unconditionally and that will be there everyday for them, for an undetermined period of time.

They stand up and take notice when someone is there on a rainy day with a plastic tarp, sandwich and a cup of hot soup and back again the next day to just be their friend, giving them an ear along with another sandwich and not a sermon for desert. The homeless need to hear from itinerant men of God, not a pulpit pounding preacher with one agenda, get’um saved!

When ministering to these people, it is important to pray for discernment, wisdom, understanding and compassion and be prepared at all times to be able to give an account of what you believe…
