Easter Baskets

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.

Easter Baskets

It’s that time of year again, the time when 70x7 asks for help in blessing our clients with an Easter basket. If you feel lead to help us out below is a list of what we are praying for.

Easter Baskets for 70x7

1 Easter basket, any kind (The dollar stores usually have nice ones)

1 wash cloth (please DON’T use any of the colored grass in the bottom of the basket, the people just throw it on the streets, a wash cloth would provide a nice cushion)

Candy, any kind, as much or as little as you can provide. You can also add other treats like nuts, dried fruits, chips or whatever non-perishable item that strikes your fancy.

There are really no limits as to how you can put your baskets together the only thing I ask is PLEASE don’t use the colored grass in the baskets. If possible please wrap the baskets in cellophane. Last year I found cute cellophane bags at the $ store.

Be creative, put an Easter card in the basket if you’d like, just please don’t write your full name or address on the card AND PLEASE NO MONEY!!

In the past we’ve put hygiene items in the baskets but we are requesting that you don’t do that this year as we’d like to keep them gender neutral and full of treats.

It’s such a joy to see grown men and women cry when we give them an Easter Basket. So many of our clients never really had a childhood and they are tickled pink when we give them the basket and acknowledge the child in them. Pray over the baskets, pray:

But Jesus called the children to him and said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. Luke 18:16

Thank you for helping us bless the people on the streets and pray that we speak truth to them, the truth of what Easter is really all about, the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

Rejoicing in Him,

Donna
