 7 Bridges to Recovery 

Feeding the Homeless of Atlanta…Taking Christianity Into the World 

Please know that we were personally moved and convicted by the Good News and message of Jesus Christ and wanted to share it with you in hopes that God would move your heart as well. It is never our intentions to try and manipulate or guilt you into giving. As we mentioned last week, we just desire to give you an opportunity to be a part of what God is doing here. Thank you for your continued interest in this ministry and we praise God for each one of you that receives and reads this update and stands with us in being the hands and feet of Christ.  

Needs List:

  • 80 plastic containers to slide under beds for personal an hygiene items
  • Undergarments for children, women, and men of all sizes
  • Summer clothes and flip flops for men, women, and children of all sizes
  • Items for kitchen: aluminum foil, saran wrap, salad dressings, milk and dairy products, an electric knife for carving, oven mitts, spices, cooking oil, and gloves
  • Cleaning products and hygiene items (esp. room sprays, dish soap, etc.)
  • Lunch meat to take out under the bridges and meat for dinner at Garden
  • Monetary gifts and gas cards

Final Words:

The tables we mentioned needing last week were provided and brought in today! We now have room in our fellowship hall for everyone to sit comfortably! Praise God! We were blessed with donations and service from many of you and will also have the privilege of taking everyone here at the ministry to watch the Atlanta Dream play on Tuesday. We are having a Back to School event on Saturday August 14th and ask all that can to come celebrate with us.  We will be having a softball game at 3pm and then a concert at 7pm.  We would love to have you come fellowship and celebrate with us!  Remember also, to join us in a day of prayer for our youth on Sunday August 8th.  If you are interested in serving with us, come join us on Saturdays, rain or shine, to bring food and the love of Jesus to the people on the streets of Atlanta or come to the Garden any day of the week to serve our beautiful women and children. We pray you have a blessed week and look forward to serving with you! Remember you are blessed and highly favored!

GO JESUS GO JESUS GO!  LOVE, Pastor 7

Pastor 7 with 7Bridges to Recovery is doing great things to Feed the Homeless of Atlanta while spreading the word of God. I suggest you go down and see what he is doing on the weekends to take the message to the streets of Atlanta. I believe he would be a great speaker to the whole congregation and Discipleship Groups as people are looking for opportunities to get real with their faith by being the very Hands and Feet of Jesus Christ. You can read about his Ministry at http://www.7bridgestorecovery.org/home_page.html  We are actively involved in going and supporting Pastor 7 and the great work he is doing to Serve the Lost, the Last & the Least.

John 14:6  Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

Gwinnett CPA Presents 7 Bridges to Recovery…Taking Christianity Into the World

Gwinnett CPA Presents 7 Bridges to Recovery…Taking Christianity Into the World

Serving the Lost, the Last & the Least

Hey everyone! Here is the word for the week. God’s Embrace Romans 12:3-11. Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another -Romans 12:10. Soon after her family left for the evening, Carol started to think that her hospital room must be the loneliest place in the world. Nighttime had fallen, her fears about her illness were back, and she felt overwhelming despair as she lay there alone.

     Closing her eyes, she began to talk to God: “O Lord, I know I am not really alone. You are here with me. Please calm my heart and give me peace. Let me feel Your arms around me, holding me.”

     As she prayed, Carol felt her fears beginning to subside. And when she opened her eyes, she looked up to see the warm, sparkling eyes of her friend Marge, who reached out to encircle her in a big hug. Carol felt as if God Himself were holding her tightly.

     God often uses fellow believers to show us His love. “We, being many, are one body in Christ….Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them” (Rom. 12:5-6) We serve others “with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ” (1 Peter 4:11).

     When we show love and compassion in simple, practical ways, we are a part of God’s ministry to His people. 

     Teach me to love, this is my prayer

  May the compassion of Thy heart I share;

       Ready a cup of water to give,

  May I unselfishly for others live.  

We show our love for God when we love His family. 

Yours truly, Pastor 7. GO JESUS GO JESUS GO!
LOVE, Pastor7

Gwinnett CPA Seeking Place of Business, Store or Office Adopting an Atlanta Homeless Shelter for Both Thanksgiving and Year Round

Monday, November 16th, 2009

Gwinnett CPA Seeking  Place of Business, Store or Office Adopting an Atlanta Homeless Shelter for Both Thanksgiving and Year Round 

Feeding the Homeless of Atlanta 

The Ministry is called 7 Bridges to Recovery and is located at 2875 Brownsmill Rd SE Atlanta, GA 30354. The purpose of the ministry is “The purpose of the ministry is to rescue our brothers and sisters off the streets and help them break the binds of homelessness, alcohol, drugs, sexual addictions, prostitution, and abuse.” 

” The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.”  

At present there are two large construction needs in process with the first being to build out the dorm area where ladies and their children can stay and sleep together. The dorm when built out will be able to support approximately thirty homeless mothers and their children. Also there is a need to have Pastor 7 on-site predominantly full-time and the build out of the apartment will allow him to do so. Pray to see what God might have you do to serve Him in your community. God Bless You Each and Every One. Please note that also the ministry has an ongoing need for those to worship with their hands and feet by offering to assist with construction projects on site. 

Providing for the Homeless takes much more than a good meal on Thanksgiving. We are looking for church groups and individuals to partner with us throughout the year to Get God to The Lost, The Last and The Least. Below please find a few of their ongoing physical needs.

Pastor 7, his men and the ministry are doing great things in God’s name to serve the Homeless Men & Women of Atlanta. To learn about more his ministry visit http://www.7bridgestorecovery.org/home_page.html
