WHAT YOU CAN DO

How You Can Help!
Let it be known to your friends and neighbors that there are not enough beds in Wichita for the men and women. Women if they go homeless are just going to hit the streets 99% as there are not enough beds.

Pray for them, and get active tell your pastors, city council people, and city officials that it is not acceptable for people to live in the street. While there are many programs to get people into housing the waiting lists sometimes, most of the time are years long.

There needs to be a NEW 24/7 walk in shelter for men, women, and families. If there was no need then why do they open the over-flow every year?

If you wish to help us do what we do then
1.Pray for the ministry
2.Coats
3.Hats
4.Gloves
5.Socks
6.Hygene products
7.Donations of food (meat and canned foods)
8.Sweets
9. Jobs bring them down and post them on the board.
10. Bus cards
11. First aid supplies as I doctor them for everything including wounds.
12. Over the counter pain meds
13 money donations
Most people who do what we do as much as we do have large churches or other organizations that fund them. We are a family church driving over 120 miles round trip to come over to Wichita. I pray that Wichita would support us in helping their neighbors, right now 99% of all funding comes from out of the state and out of the USA. If funds allowed I would open a 24/7 shelter, but I would be happy just to not have to beg so much for money over my radio program just to do all we do.

Luke 21:1
1And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.

Greetings Saints,

First I will you about a man whom I prayed for; last week he came to the window of the bus when I was picking people up. He wanted to pray for me so I said okay, after he was done I prayed for him to have an increase in finances.

Today he told me after the prayer he walked down the street and got a job for $12 and hour! A real praise report, he said that the Lord had told him I had a real calling on my life and to keep doing what I am doing……..

We see miracle prayers like this all the time.

I think we can breath now that we have been able to pay up the currant bills including what we owed the food bank. Two weeks ago we were just hours away from actually shutting down for the first time in 10 years.

Bills had doubled and then we missed the shut off dates anyone of a number of things could have been shut off at anytime, but at the very last moments our Father saved us, as normal he uses people to do so. So if I missed thanking you saints for donating and saying prayers for us from the bottom of my heart I thank you.

This year has been a funny year for finances, mostly we would have to get desperate, with this time being the very worst, then people would bail us out. When we have shut off’s and things it always costs more as most of you know, I just pray that people would donate before we get desperate.

Right now we have NO money for Thanksgiving, mom told me she might have $30 left after paying the bills, I have gas money and that is it, I am not complaining but we really need to pray in money for Thanksgiving dinner, paper products, Bibles, shoe money, medication money, and the bus to get fixed.

Yes I am broke, but a preacher should be the brokest guy around right?

I want you to pray that the people of Wichita really look at what we are doing for their poor and see the truth. We do things that no other ministry in this city does for them, we fill a large gap in services and we live 60 miles away. I do not want their thanks I just think Wichita should donate to help their poor, supporting what we have been doing without their support for 10 years.

There are good people in this city that would help if somehow they knew what all we do. So take this to prayer, the Father can do anything!

So please lift us to prayer and see if you are led to become a monthly supporter or weekly? Anything will help, people do not understand that a $10 a $25, etc donation adds up. And yes you can mail if you so chose. But really consider a donation towards Thanksgiving please do not wait until the last minute.

Have a great Sabbath and remember all things come by Faith!

Cold Days and Bare Feet!

James 2:14

14What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? can faith save him? 15If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, 16And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? 17Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. 18Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works. 19Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble. 20But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? 21Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? 22Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? 23And the scripture was fulfilled which saith, Abraham believed God, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness: and he was called the Friend of God. 24Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only. 25Likewise also was not Rahab the harlot justified by works, when she had received the messengers, and had sent them out another way? 26For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Greetings Saints,

Today was a rough day on me not that others days are much better with being in turmoil over caring for the people. My Father called me, sent me forth to come over here and care for so many people. As one of callings is to be a pastor to the people being really led by the holy Spirit a pastor will hurt when the sheep hurt, in my case there are 1,000’s that come though yearly.

In fact I was up all night but about 30 minutes to an hour talking to the Father about what is going on, so today I have been worn out physically and mentally.

Today was a day of faith I bought shoes out of very little money I had then the Father replaced it with a $50 donation. It was the women today with bare feet ( sandals ) one with a baby in a stroller, living outside place to place in already freezing temps with bare feet.

The woman were very humble about it and HE provided, but I am the one in the middle dealing with the emotions. These women who have it rougher than men in the street just what would they do were we not here?

One woman today asked for prayers of “Just whatever the Lord Has for me” as I prayed, I felt the hurt of a broken relationship among other feelings I got.

Later I found that a man just threw her out for another woman, something this man does a lot as he offers love and a warm bed till he finds a new woman, none ever staying long, he is a predator. And there are many out there as women hardly have any choices or shelters that are not full.

Today I had some hats I found in the closet along with 10 I bought from wal-mart as they are only $1 a hat there. We also gave out some of the very last of the socks I have along with cold meds, most everyone needing pain meds which I do not have.

So many people with more coming due to the economy, right now I should be increasing help and we just seem to fight shut off’s this year and getting worse, this last month we almost went under.

So daily we go on with the Hope of our Savior Yeshua or Messiah, without him we would be broken, so many days my heart literally breaks for these people.

So many use the saying that oh they are where they want to be as really just an excuse not to help them. The homeless are people too and many are just like you and me.

I pray for this nation and hurt so bad for what is coming as I see first had many more people hitting the streets because of lack of work, it will not be better soon for them, I just pray for the strength to go on and the money to do so.

I pray that things will turn around soon as we are already having to thank a head towards Thanksgiving which we do with the people every year.

I pray that the funds for radio is met this week.

Please pray that a Miracle like we have seen many times comes, we need a pressure release……………….

Lift us in prayer, help if you can

The Problem as I see It

Greetings,

The biggest problem as I have seen it over the last 10 years in Wichita, Ks and the Homeless is this.

There are several agencies that deal with the homeless, add the Christian based ones and you find the general problem. What the very people helping the homeless are the problem?

(Okay not all are like this but most)

Yes you see every time someone does a study or like the last venture with the rallies etc that led to having a task force on Homelessness, the agencies circle their wagons saying Oh we can care for everyone hmm why would they say that when all the beds in the city are taken? There is NO ROOM at the Inn for many and general proof is if they can care for everyone and there are enough beds then why do they have to open an overflow EVERY WINTER?

When I first started I was literally accused by one Church lady who feeds once a week said that I was trying to steal her ministry, Heh I was not even feeding on HER day?

At the end of the study by the task force that had people on it that had shelters or fed people, the study said that their was only needed 50 more beds in Wichita a number that could be met by currant agencies.

Wow, what an un-truth, again go see how many is in the overflow next month, then tell me how many beds are needed. Even with that not all get inside.

The Truth is women are desperate in the city of Wichita I know I see them every day we are open. Yes the men to but it is a shame for a woman abused by her husband has to go live in the street and be preyed on!

Yes men and more men than women need beds also; many only need temporary beds and a address so they can get help. A safe place to stay for a few weeks until they can find a job if possible.

You will always have the poor among you but that does not mean they are to be ignored.

10 years we have been fighting this battle and I still pray for the money to open a full time shelter or as now I just pray to be able to stay open. With all I do for Wichita I get no support.

And of course I will get fallout from these guilt agencies, BUT truth is truth!

Pray for the homeless in Wichita and pray for our ministry so we can just stay open..

Blessings to others?

 The 10 WORDS  

 

 

 

The Below I got from a Rabbi’s weekly Torah portion, and it inspired me to write this. People in this world are in such a rush.

Hurry here or there with no account of the people around us. The Bigger the city the more this seems to be the case.

 

Our Messiah, Yeshua tells us

Matthew 5:43

⁴³Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. ⁴⁴But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; ⁴⁵That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. ⁴⁶For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? ⁴⁷And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? ⁴⁸Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

 

But most fall down in even loving our neighbors or their own families! So the question arises are you a blessings to others? Torah teaches it and for sure Yeshua Messiah does as does the rest of the testimonies.

 

A saved person is supposed be a blessing to others ….

And if you look up the word Charity then you will find it means LOVE

1 Corinthians 13:1

¹Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. ²And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. ³And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

⁴Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,  ⁵Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; ⁶Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;  ⁷Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

⁸Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.  ⁹For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. ¹⁰But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.  ¹¹When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.   ¹²For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.  ¹³And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

 

 

KEY IDEAS FOR A KINDER WORLD

Audio 

http://www.shabbatshalomaudio.com/ 

1.     Be resolved to become a kind person. How do you do this? Think, speak, and act with kindness.

2.     Love kindness. When you do what you love, you are happy. A master of kindness is a master of joy.

3.     When encountering someone, let your first thoughts be, “What kind words can I say to this person and what kind things can I do?”

4.     Keep asking people, “What can I do for you?”

5.     Everyone needs encouragement. Ask yourself, “What can I say that will be encouraging?”

6.     Wherever you are, you are there for a reason. Ask yourself, “Since I am here now, what kindness can I do?”

7.     Every kind person is unique. You have unique talents, skills, knowledge, and resources. Utilize them to help others in your own unique way. Ask yourself, “In what unique ways can I be kind?”

8.     Do a daily act of kindness without letting anyone know who did it.

9.     Learn from every kind act you see or read about. Ask yourself, “How can I learn from this to be kinder?”

10. A valuable rule is, “Even if you don’t feel like a kind person, you can still act like one.” Think of a kind act you can do that you don’t feel like doing.

11. Think of a kindness telephone call that you can make today.

12. Think of a kindness note, letter, or email that you can write today.

13. View your own pain, distress, and suffering as tools for empathy and understanding. Ask yourself, “How can this experience help me be a kinder person?”

14. Keep asking yourself, “If I were this person, what would I want others to do for me?”

15. As soon as you recognize a need, volunteer to do something about it. Don’t wait until you are asked.

16. Listen to those who need a listening ear. Listening to someone is a great act of kindness.

17. If you know that someone is looking for a job or needs to earn more money, ask yourself, “What can I do to make it happen?”

18. Be empathetic and compassionate. Be resolved not to cause distress, pain, or loss with your words and action.

19. Learn from everyone. Keep asking people, “What kindnesses from others have you appreciated?”

20. Pray for the welfare of others.

You can argue all you want about days to keep or not keep, laws, etc but one thing that is claimed by all is that Love is number one, or should be as

Matthew 22:34

³⁴But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. ³⁵Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, ³⁶Master, which is the great commandment in the law? ³⁷ Yeshua said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. ³⁸This is the first and great commandment. ³⁹And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. ⁴⁰On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

 

Remember

Matthew 6:19

¹⁹Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: ²⁰But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: ²¹For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. ²²The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. ²³But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! ²⁴No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

 

Careful of that stranger you meet on the street or even at your door for He might be an angel come to check on you…..

 

Lift us in prayer, help if you are led.

Acts of kindness!

A postive note, October 21st, 2009

A Positive note?

Greetings,
Recently I was on TV in Wichita, Kansas, it was a popular lunchtime talk program. I had a little over 6 minutes to say who I was and talk about the ministry, which was really okay because they gave my web site and other contact info.

I mainly went on the air to beg for coats, not new ones, just used coats for the people. The response was about the same I always get from Wichita, I got more people coming for help and no coats oh wait a minute one of the people I help gave an old coat.

The Positive note is that some goodhearted people in Wichita are finding the homeless and giving out some coats and new blankets. Now the overflow will be open come November 1st which is three second year for being open 5 months of the year instead of just 3.
We did overflow the year before they started this. It was really fun as I just lived with the homeless a month before they started and a month after. Oh yes a little in December because they were not letting everyone in.

You see it is getting colder sooner as we are in a real period of global cooling, I think anyone can see that but if you listen to the informed media and the people in the White house it is global warming.

We have always made it a point to help fill the gap in services others do not, a big job by just a family ministry. No complaints.
All our funding comes from out of state and out of the country. Wichita for some reason just will not support what we do, well the poor love us and some not poor do, but support us no that would give me a heart attack I think.

Right now we had to stop the food pantry as that NOW requires a grocer’s license, yep we were just informed that from the food bank. I wonder just how many Churches have one for their food pantries? Or how many will get one?

There are I have noticed some small Wichita based churches and single people outreaches that give out food but I really do not think that they will be able to get a license or will. Wow and it is the poorer ministries that really help the poor in the gap in services. So for the record we no longer get free sweets and will now have to pray full price for the food we serve in our Homeless fellowship meals, but we paid full price for food for 9 years, only getting food from the food bank for the last year, we are in our 10th year of helping the poor in Wichita.

We have had so many people coming and asking for cold meds as this is another gap, can you imagine living outside with the swine flu? We are giving much in meds and prayers while it lasts, but right now we are running on zero. We have mostley shut offs on everything, if we are meant to go on in this 10th year then well it’s up to the Father.

Wichita just build a new arena, wow…..right down the block about 7 from us. This is called the old town area, they have been trying to get the homeless out of the downtown area because of the old town area, you see people with money do not wish to see them.

The Police are told to tell them move on but without telling them where to move on to. In 2008 they completed a study saying that there was a need for more beds but not providing any.

In fact if you are a woman in Wichita and you go homeless it would be a very rare thing to find a bed, really, I have to counsel women just going homeless all the time and have to tell them the only place for them is the street…Really.

Anyway we are told by certain people that the police have said that there will be no homeless downtown when the arena opens? Hmm this is really not legal but who can do anything about it.

Well keep us in prayer and if you are in Wichita DO not get homeless……..that is if you can help it.
Be Blessed, Pastor Dan Catlin

Winter aready here for the homeless

Greetings,
To most people winter is still a little while away, but to the homeless winter is already here. This last Tuesday people came in talking of how wet they got in the downpour that day and the night before, their big problem was where do they go to stay dry.

The Police have again pushed them away from the library and are working on getting them from under the bridges. The big question is where are they supposed to go? The task force they had what over a year ago said more beds were needed but nothing was done.

So where do they go? Yes some are transients but most are long-time or life residents of Wichita. But now there is even another thing coming into play, the economic situation is taking its toll. Many people who work are getting kicked out of homes and apartments. Daily more people lose jobs and within a few weeks lose their places to live.

Try calling a shelter or all the shelters in Wichita and look for a bed for a woman, lots of luck finding one. I have been working in the city for 10 years and there is plenty of money there for a shelter it is just powers at be just do not want one.

If a new shelter 24/7 came it would put some ministries and agencies OUT of WORK period. So very sad, because of greed many women fall into or are forced into prostitution and drugs which amounts to slavery.

You would think with over 800 churches in the city the poor at least could find a roof, excuse me the women could find a safe place. As long as there is a crisis the agencies and ministries can get funded. But they do not even do what is needed or I would have no reason to be there.

The Torah tells us we are to care for the poor mandatory, Messiah came and preached the gospel to the poor and he did not send them away hungry either.

As winter nears we need your help in providing coats, hats, gloves, over the counter pain pills and other meds. The people have been about begging for pain killers.

I just noticed that a Wichita web site said there was many resources for the homeless, how about a bed Wihcita.

We are in a critical place; we need to pray in more monthly, weekly, or one-time supporters.

Lift us in prayer and help if you can,

In His Perfect Peace,

Many helpers putting food out Tuesday 4:30 PM meal

Luke 14:7

7And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them, 8When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him; 9And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room. 10But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee. 11For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted. 12Then said he also to him that bade him, When thou makest a dinner or a supper, call not thy friends, nor thy brethren, neither thy kinsmen, nor thy rich neighbours; lest they also bid thee again, and a recompence be made thee. 13But when thou makest a feast, call the poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind: 14And thou shalt be blessed; for they cannot recompense thee: for thou shalt be recompensed at the resurrection of the just.

——————————————————————————–

Greetings Saints,

Our ministry is on the frontline against poverty and sin just to name a few. So it is natural that we see some of the real results of the economic crash first or one of the first.

Example we have people that drop off clothing to us on a regular basis. Mom and helpers have to go through in order to pick the things that the people will wear or at least we think they will. The things we cannot use still good clothing we take to various other thrift stores and donate it.

After a week to two weeks mom rotates what she put in by taking out what the people have not taken. So there is always a fresh turn over of clothing or at least right now there is.

But right now it is harder and harder for us to give away the clothing we do not use. Thrift stores are being overwhelmed with clothing as so many people have to give up much of what they own, as they have to double up with relatives, friends, or downsize, in some cases going homeless.

People are dumping boxes of clothing off behind our fence when we are not there and making offers of truckloads of furniture. As in the picture below, seeing people move out of apartments and houses is now a regular sight on the street. I took this picture yesterday as the truck was being loaded.

We know that there are many foreclosures going on and we have seen in the news that possibly 1,000’s of banks are going belly up soon or at the least in the next two years hurting small business, things are very bad and getting worse.

Another way I can tell is that this year donations have been getting slower and slower, most people do like to help a good cause but when money is tight they have to cut back and of course I understand but it is making it tough to help the more and more people that are coming.

Like yesterday I had a man from an agency bring his old mother by to sign up for a food sack, as they had to cut back in the food they give out. Remember we used to do food sacks once a week and have now cut back to the last two weeks of the month because we have been taking bill money and buying food.

Below is a example of the food given this year, this is cut out from mom’s (my wife) mail out newsletter that went out yesterday.

“Over the year from Aug 2008 to the end of Aug 2009 we served 89,408.15 pounds of food costing $8158.13. Some of this was other products, like medicines, cleaning supplies, diapers, laundry soaps, female products and so forth. This will give you an idea of some of what we serve to the people. This was from the food bank only I still buy supplies fro Sams and Walmart. We really need winter coats if u have warm clothing, hats, gloves, coats any type of item that will help keep someone warm Please pray about sending it.”

This is a miracle, as we have NO budget as to have a budget you would have to have regular donation coming in at a set time. Most of the time other that a three weekly donations of $75, $50, and $25 from states far away I never know how much money I will have from one day to the next……think about that we step out in faith and help thousands of people a year by faith. Many days I go over and I am unsure of things like gas money!

The food bill now has been running roughly $1,100 plus just at the food bank, we owe right now about $700 but we did just pay about $800 or more I think but you know how it goes pay some get some. I would not know how to act if I started the physical year off with money in advance to pay for food? I would go into shock if I could budget even the $1,100 a month for the food bank.

That alone would mean rounding up $13,200 at once, or pledged? That does not include as mom says the other food she buys.

Now this does not include the money we have to pray in funds for utilities, ministry phones, Internet, etc

So why a miracle, I am a poor man who devotes his life and his family to the Works of the Father, my personal income is not much but I give over half of it to pay for the building lease option monthly.

The rest has to come from the mail-out newsletter (nothing fancy just stapled together pages I do on publisher, but informative and in monthly issue 171), the radio program, and of course my mission update like this.

I am not state or government funded just Yahweh funded, oh yes and hardly anything funding comes from within Kansas period.

Like now the stove that was donated to us is basically gone, the ovens stopped working last week and we have I think two working burners which will go out soon, no money to buy not even a used stove.

Wow watch I do not know how but He the Father will provide and of course just in time as it is His ministry. This is one of my wife’s favorite scriptures.

Mark 9:23 Yeshua said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth.

The Shelters are at overflow and winter is already creeping in, so what happens now to these people becoming newly homeless have never been on the street before? We are one of the first places hit by them for prayers and advice. It breaks my heart to tell a mom with children that the only way I know for them to get in someplace is to send the children to the children’s home so they can get in but if they do that the state generally steps in. Children should not be outside in the winter….and the overflow does not open till November or December. Heh it’s cold out right now!

I am sure this is going on over most of the USA. Did you know that 85% of the people in this country proclaim to be Christians? So much for Obama saying we are no longer a Christian nation and one of the largest Moslem nations, oh well.

I think in the times that will be here shortly and are here that many miracles will been seen, we are as people of the Faith are tested and made better for these things. But yet right now there are over 800 churches in Wichita, soon I pray they will step up to the plate and do what they are supposed to already be doing, anyway I pray so, and yes many are helping in different ways just not enough nearly for the almost 400,000 in Wichita.

Yes I did get radio on the 31st for September, Amen. When I finish this I will go into prayer and plead with the Father to please rush the first of the month donations in and thank him for the stove he will send from someone.

Consider each other, love one another, pray for one another, as soon you will need one another.

Lift us in prayer and help if you can!
All things to glorify Him on most high and not us as all things belong to Him and come from Him!

In His Perfect Peace,
