It is therefore our conviction that our program can be easily replicated and should be replicated, in many places in our own city and state as well as throughout the United States. People to people ministry, done in love, without prejudices or personal agendas is most effective. We have found that our Mini-van is one very important part of our ministry. This is an item that would need to be owned, leased or borrowed from someone when the ministry is started. Using magnetic signs on the van is one way of borrowing a van until one can be purchased or leased.
Recognition IS important for trust.
Two or three parishes combining their youth with adult leadership can do a fine job with the outreach part of the ministry. Coming to the same place, two or three times a week is very important. Coming with food and drink, warm clothing in cold climates and things such as T-shirts, toys, books, on occassion make for special times and special joy. People are truly hungry and thirsty. Sometimes they have little or no food, and other times they need to supplement what they have.
