Jimmie Hickman hands out blankets to the homeless while Nichole and Michael minister.
Brother Harold (from Chicago) ministers to a homeless man on Lower Wacker Dr.
Part of the team on Lower Wacker Dr.

Rob Staley with Mike who is homeless in the old Maxwell Street area. Rob had just hooked Mike up with a new coat.
Ed Kiefer found out that Mike needed boots and also found out that they wore the same size so this was awesome as they exchanged boots. This is absolutely showing the love of Jesus to the less fortunate.

Pastor Lance sits down to minster to Mike as he also puts on his new socks. This brother had no socks prior and the old boots which Ed wore home. I ran into him hours later after returning to that area and it was like he was walking on a cloud. He said that his feet felt so good!!
Eileen and Rob Staley with Gino. We have known Gino for a couple years and he was excited to do his Christmas shopping in the items that people had donated.

The city of Chicago is really coming down on the homeless and trying to force them into shelters after 3 people dying from the cold temperatures a couple weeks ago. These people died in the Lower Wacker Drive area. We have not had alot of people to work with and will be working with Brother Harold in Chicago to hit areas that we can be the most effective in.

Next outreach in the Christmas Outreach in South Bend, Indiana next week @ 12:00 p.m. on Michigan Street.
