A Street Ministry

We are dedicated to bringing hope and recovery to people engaged in at-risk activities by sharing Christ’s love, compassion and forgiveness.

Abide Ministries 70x7 Street Outreach is a ministry working directly with people on the streets of North West and Central Detroit. The Street Outreach team uses a van as their mobile base. From the van we provide sandwiches, juice, hygiene kits, prayer and a list of referrals for services such as shelter, food, and rehab. Our main vision and purpose for this outreach is to show people of all walks of life that God loves them, without bias and desires a relationship with them, to encourage them and to give them hope.

Our focus is primarily women engaged in prostitution, and substance abuse. We also reach out to others engaged in various at-risk activities.

Enlarge the harvest

Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God. This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.  2 Cor. 9:10-12

When I read these verses today it made me smile and reflect on 70x7’s 10th anniversary celebration this past Friday.  So many of the people who attended, teammates and friends from the city who shared their stories, supplied seed and bread for the harvest all to the glory of God.  It was a wonderful evening of fellowship, music, sharing a street lunch bag, poetry, and stories from young and old.  I just wish I had thought to bring a video camera to catch the priceless moment when Ms. Winbush, a beautiful elderly client, asked to speak to everyone and then proceeded to put the microphone up to her ear instead of her mouth.  What a joyous moment!

We visited Ms. Winbush last night while doing outreach and she wanted to know when we could gather again.  Her complaint was that the evening wasn’t long enough and she didn’t get to talk to everyone. 

Thank you Lord for the precious times we get to gather as a group and give thanks for the beauty of fellowship with you.

With a grateful heart,

Donna

So go to the street corners and invite to the banquet anyone you find. Matt. 22:9
