The Isaiah Ministry doesn’t exist solely inside the walls of The Isaiah Project, you can also find us out in the surrounding communities. Our ministry certainly has been blessed by the Lord and for this we are forever thankful, but we also feel that to keep the blessing to ourselves would not be good stewardship. Here are a couple of ways in which The Isaiah Ministry is giving back.
PRESCHOOL FEEDING PROGRAM
Begun with a solitary desire by one of our employees to help feed the kids who attend the local preschool out of her own meager earnings, was birthed the Preschool Feeding Program. Twice a week 30 to 35 preschoolers receive a lunch and prayer courtesy of The Isaiah Project. The program is headed-up by Pedro and Maura who take 2 to 3 of our kids who have shown leadership and hard working qualities down to the local preschool to not only feed the little ones, but to also spend time with them. This may include teaching the kids praise songs, playing games with them, really just being good influences and sharing the love. We are very thankful for this opportunity to reach out to other kids who are still so young, hopefully helping to place a seed of volunteerism and selflessness in their still developing little hearts.
CONSTRUCTION
Its hard to deny it, there’s just something about getting your hands dirty and we at The Isaiah Ministry are all about it. With James 2:16 as our guide, we seek to provide families in need with the necessities and securities necessary to live with a better quality of life. The point is, those that don’t know Christ are watching the supposed “Christians” and “Christian ministries”, looking for evidence that we are indeed living out the very words we read from His word and preach in our churches. With our community outreach projects we are simply looking to be obedient to what we feel God’s word clearly instructs us His followers to do, and that is to show love not only in word, but also in meeting physical and material needs when possible.
Our construction outreach began with building walls around a single-parent home to ensure security against frequent break-ins and robberies in a dangerous neighborhood. Although we encountered various obstacles throughout the life of the project, such as heavy rains and theft, the blessing of knowing that a family has been cared for and can now rest easy their new found security in their own home is more than enough satisfaction. Our goal at The Isaiah Ministry to always have a construction outreach project in mind or in process that blesses a family that is not currently under any care or provision.
