Pointe of Hope

Coats Coats Coats! We have a tremendous need for coats. Please consider donating your gently under coats to POH. We will pick up!!

Its a glorious day for a fundraiser! Thank you jeepers for the love 💘

It was an amazing 2 days preparing to feed our homeless brothers and sisters. Menu was pulled pork, pinto beans, tater salad and brownies.

Second Saturday is tomorrow and Pointe of Hope will be serving our homeless brothers and sisters. Bringing blessings of food, clothing, and toiletries. But most important we bring the love of Jesus to all!!

Cooking team rocked it this weekend feeding our friends chicken tetrazini and garlic bread! As always, cake for dessert!

Can you help?? It is back to school time and kids will be getting new backpacks. The homeless sure could use the old ones. Cartoons? No problem! They are just happy to have something to hold what little they have. Donate at the YELLOW BOX at Rockpointe Church in Leander or PM for a pickup!!

Living on the streets.....no shoes. It is hot. You bathe in the lake or the creeks. Please pray for these souls (and their soles).

Love you

Mighty servants! We have a family in need that needs a washing machine. Can you help? Dad is disabled and is caring for his children by himself. We are happy to pick up and deliver if you are not able. Please pray for this family that God continues to meet their needs!

As many of you know, Oct 20-22 is our once-a-year fundraiser with JK Freaks at Hidden Falls in Marble Fall. This awesome group has helped us provide much needed food and toiletries throughout the year to our homeless brothers and sisters. Without them, we could not do all we do.

I ask that you join with us these next couple weeks to pray for all those in attendance. Cover all the families, riders, and machines that all are safe and fun is had by all!!

This union of hearts has really grown the last few years and their generosity blesses many that call the streets home. Thanks FREAKS for all you do for Pointe of Hope!!

There is nothing better than serving the least, the last, and the lost.

Last weekend was another amazing time under the bridge! Stomachs and souls were fed! Some brought all they owned on a little cart. Keep praying for our families on the street for peace, provision and relief from the heat.

We are ready to baptize the homeless Lord!!

What an amazing Saturday under the bridge! Special thanks to all the mighty servants that came out to help!!

Psalm 12:5 “For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now I will arise,” says the Lord; “I will set him in the safety for which he yearns."

What an amazing day of blessing here in Hidalgo! So privileged to be a part of this great opportunity!!

Does everything that goes into the yellow box finds a home??? YES!!! This special bear just made it to Big Heart Orphanage to bless some special children!! Thank you to the special donors!!!!

What an amazing day to serve! It was cold but the Holy Spirit was present and it warmed the day. The band was on fire and the food was great!!

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many." Mark 10:45

When He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd.
Matthew 9:36

Let's Hurt with the Hurting

What do we see when we see…

• the figures beneath the overpass, encircling the fire in a five-gallon drum?

• the news clips of children in refugee camps?

What do we see? “When [Jesus] saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and scattered, like sheep having no shepherd” (Matthew 9:36)…

Let’s be the people who look at the hurting until we hurt with them. No hurrying past, turning away, or shifting of eyes. No pretending or glossing over. Let’s look at the face until we see the person.

A family in our congregation lives with the heartbreaking reality that their son is homeless. He ran away when he was seventeen, and with the exception of a few calls from prison and one visit, they have had no contact with him for twenty years. The mom allowed me to interview her at a leadership gathering. As we prepared for the discussion, I asked her why she was willing to disclose her story.

“I want to change the way people see the homeless. I want them to stop seeing problems and begin seeing mothers’ sons.”

Change begins with a genuine look. And continues with a helping hand.

Works done in God’s name long outlive our earthly lives.

—Outlive Your Life

Lord, we are surrounded by hurting people who have no hope. They are miserable and lost without your mercy. Forgive us when we turn away from them in careless indifference. May our hearts be broken with the things that break your heart. May we look into the face of every hurting person and extend a helping hand. Teach us to touch desperate lives with works done in your name. Soften our hearts to love others as freely and graciously as you have loved us. Let us be your hand extended, amen.

He raises the poor out of the dust, and lifts the needy out of the ash heap.
Psalm 113:7

But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.
1 Thessalonians 4:9

“Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.”
John 15:13

What an amazing day!! Beautiful weather and beautiful people serving the Lord!!

Got the hygiene kits all ready for our big day tomorrow!!

God's mighty servants at work!! Cant wait for tomorrow!! Bridge of Angels!!!
