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.

Celebrating Cindy

For this son (daughter) of mine was dead and is alive again; he (she) was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate. Luke 15:24 (italics mine)

Celebrate!  Cindy turns 7 on Feb. 21st.  In so many ways this dear sister-in-the-Lord is really only 7 years old.  Her joy in seeing and learning things just as a child does is a blessing to all those who know her.  I thank God for the opportunities to share in her adventures.  Every time I see a trash can in the city I think of Cindy.  We have now nicknamed all city trash can’s as “Hallelujah Trash Cans”.  City trash cans are unique in that if you open the lid it looks like arms pointing to the heavens and one evening Cindy thought one of those trash cans was a person standing on the corner praising the Lord!!

There are so many stories about the adventures of New life in Cindy.  She once asked me if I knew why Jesus words in the Bible were written in red.  I honestly didn’t have a good answer for her so she told me it’s because it represents the Blood of Jesus.  Wow!  I never looked at it that way.

If you ever get tired of seeing the world through adult boring eyes invite Cindy to a park, or the zoo or anywhere for that matter and she will open your eyes again to the beauty of God’s creation.  She is such a miracle and she is telling everyone that she will be celebrating 7 years clean this month.  The Lord has blessed her with the opportunity to share her story and thereby blessing everyone with the miracles our heavenly Father still performs to this day!!

If you would like to send a card to Cindy and let her know how much you love her and wish to celebrate this miracle with her, here is her address:

Cindy Carter

25895 Chippendale Ct. Apt. C

Roseville, Mi. 48066

We thank God for the miracles he is yet to perform in the lives of the people we meet weekly out on the streets.  Thank you Father that you seek out those of us who are lost and hurting.  You wrap us in your loving arms and give us the desires of our heart when we acknowledge the gift of your son Jesus.

Teach me to do your will, for you are my God; may your good Spirit lead me on level ground. Ps. 143:10

You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” Rev. 4:11

Love,

Donna
