The Good Samaritan: What It Really Means to Love Your Neighbor Have you ever wondered what it truly means to love your neighbor? Sure, we all know the golden rule: “Treat others the way you want to be treated.”  But let’s be honest—how often do we actually go out of our way to help someone in need? Jesus tackled this very question in one of His most famous stories: The Parable of the Good Samaritan  (Luke 10:25-37). It’s a story that’s not just about being nice—it’s about breaking barriers, showing compassion, and loving others the way God loves us. Let’s dive into it and see how it applies to our lives today. The Setup: A Lawyer’s Question The story begins with a lawyer asking Jesus a big question: “What do I need to do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus turns the question back on him, asking, “What does the law say?”  The lawyer answers correctly: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.” But then the lawyer tries to get clever. He asks, “Who is my neighbor?”  Basically, he’s looking for a loophole, a way to limit his responsibility. Instead of giving a direct answer, Jesus tells a story—a story that flips the idea of “neighbor” on its head. The Story: A Man in Need Jesus paints a vivid picture: A man is traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, a dangerous road known for robberies. Sure enough, the man gets attacked, beaten, and left half-dead on the side of the road. Here’s where it gets interesting. Three people pass by the injured man: A Priest: You’d think a religious leader would stop to help, right? Nope. He sees the man and crosses to the other side of the road. A Levite: Another religious figure, someone who assists in the temple. Surely, he’ll stop? Wrong again. He also avoids the man. A Samaritan: Now, this is where the story takes a twist. Samaritans were despised by Jews—they were considered outsiders and enemies. But it’s the Samaritan who stops, helps the man, and goes above and beyond to care for him. What Makes the Samaritan Different? The Samaritan doesn’t just stop and check on the man—he takes action. He bandages the man’s wounds, puts him on his own donkey, and takes him to an inn. He even pays for the man’s stay and tells the innkeeper, “Take care of him, and I’ll cover any additional costs.” This is love in action. It’s not just feeling sorry for someone—it’s stepping in, sacrificing your time, energy, and resources to make a difference. The Big Question: Who Is My Neighbor? At the end of the story, Jesus asks the lawyer, “Which of these three was a neighbor to the man who was attacked?”  The lawyer has no choice but to answer, “The one who showed him mercy.” Jesus responds with a simple but powerful command: “Go and do likewise.” What Does This Mean for Us? So, what does this story mean for you and me? Here are a few takeaways: Your Neighbor Is Everyone. Your neighbor isn’t just the person who lives next door or someone you like. It’s anyone in need—especially those who are different from you. Love Requires Action. It ’s not enough to feel bad for someone or wish them well. True love means stepping in and doing something to help, even if it’s inconvenient or costly. Break Down Barriers. The Samaritan didn’t let cultural or racial differences stop him from helping. In the same way, we’re called to love people regardless of their background, beliefs, or status. Sacrifice Is Part of Love. Loving your neighbor often means giving up your time, energy, or resources. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it. How Can We Be Good Samaritans Today? Here are some practical ways to live out this story in your daily life: Look for Opportunities to Help. Is there someone in your community who’s struggling? A neighbor who’s sick? A coworker going through a tough time? Offer a helping hand. Be Generous with Your Time and Resources. Whether it’s volunteering, donating, or simply listening to someone who needs support, small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Love Without Limits. Don’t just help people who are like you or who you’re comfortable with. Step out of your comfort zone and show love to everyone, even those who might be hard to love. Final Thoughts The story of the Good Samaritan isn’t just a feel-good tale—it’s a challenge. Jesus is calling us to love boldly, sacrificially, and without limits. It’s not always easy, but when we love others the way God loves us, we reflect His heart to the world. So, the next time you see someone in need, ask yourself: “What would the Good Samaritan do?”   Then, go and do likewise. What about you? How can you show love to your neighbor this week?

Join us today and make an impact. In our journey through life, we often seek guidance and wisdom beyond our own understanding. St. Mykul’s prayer  is a beautiful expression of this desire, a heartfelt plea for divine intervention and alignment with Jehovah’s will. It serves as a reminder of the profound connection we can cultivate with the divine, allowing us to become vessels of His wisdom and love. St. Mykul’s prayer: “I pray for Jehovah to speak through me all the time, and I pray for Jehovah to remove all my thoughts and implant His thoughts all the time, as I do not even want my thoughts. Because your ways are higher than my ways, and your thoughts are higher than my thoughts.”

The Greatest Gift: God’s Love in Action. Scripture Focus:  John 3:16-17, 1 John 4:9-11, Matthew 1:21-23 Introduction: Merry Christmas! Today, as we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, let us reflect on the greatest gift ever given: the love of God, expressed through the coming of His Son, Jesus. Christmas is not just about the lights, gifts, or traditions—it’s about God’s love in action. God’s love is not passive or distant. It is a love that reaches down into our brokenness, a love that gives sacrificially, and a love that transforms lives. Today, we’ll explore how God’s love is shown through Jesus and how we are called to respond to that love. 1. God’s Love Is a Gift to the World Scripture: “For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.”– John 3:16-17 Christmas is a reminder that God’s love is for everyone. No matter who you are, where you’ve been, or what you’ve done, God loves you. His love is unconditional and sacrificial. Jesus came into the world not to condemn us, but to save us. He is the ultimate gift—a gift we could never earn or deserve. Just as we exchange gifts with loved ones today, let us remember that God gave us the most precious gift of all: His Son, Jesus Christ. 2. God’s Love Was Made Known Through Jesus Scripture: “This is how God showed His love among us: He sent His one and only Son into the world that we might live through Him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins.”– 1 John 4:9-10 The birth of Jesus was not just a historical event—it was God stepping into history to rescue humanity. Jesus was born in a humble manger, lived a sinless life, and died on the cross for our sins. This is the ultimate demonstration of love. God didn’t wait for us to come to Him; He came to us. He didn’t wait for us to be perfect; He loved us while we were still sinners ( Romans 5:8 ). This Christmas, let us not forget that Jesus’ birth points to His ultimate mission: to bring salvation to all who believe in Him. 3. God’s Love Calls Us to Love Others Scripture: “Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.”– 1 John 4:11 Christmas is not just about receiving God’s love—it’s about sharing it with others. Just as God’s love moved Him to action, our love should move us to care for those around us. Jesus taught us this when He said: “Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for Me.”– Matthew 25:40 This season, let us reflect on how we can show God’s love to others. It could be through acts of kindness, generosity, forgiveness, or simply being present with someone who is lonely. The love of God is not meant to be kept to ourselves—it is meant to overflow into the lives of others. 4. God’s Love Brings Hope and Joy Scripture: “She will give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins. All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet: ‘The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel’ (which means ‘God with us’).”– Matthew 1:21-23 The name Immanuel —God with us—is a powerful reminder that we are not alone. Jesus’ birth brings hope to the hopeless, joy to the weary, and peace to the brokenhearted. No matter what challenges you face today, remember that God is with you. His love is steadfast, and His promises are true. Christmas is a time to celebrate the hope we have in Jesus—a hope that is eternal and unshakable. Application: How Do We Respond to God’s Love? Receive His Love: If you have never accepted Jesus as your Savior, today is the perfect day to do so. God’s gift of salvation is available to you. All you need to do is believe in Him, repent of your sins, and invite Him into your heart. Share His Love: Look for ways to show God’s love to others. It could be through giving, serving, or simply being a light in someone’s life. Live in His Love: Let God’s love transform your life. Spend time in prayer, read His Word, and trust Him in every area of your life. Closing Scripture: “Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!”– 2 Corinthians 9:15 Conclusion: As we celebrate Christmas today, let us remember that the true meaning of this season is found in God’s love. His love came down in the form of a baby, born in a manger, to bring hope and salvation to the world. Let us receive that love with gratitude, share it with others, and live it out every day. May the joy of Christ fill your hearts and homes this Christmas and always. Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Thank You for loving us so much that You came to save us. Help us to receive Your love, share it with others, and live in it daily. This Christmas, may we honor You in all we do and bring glory to Your name. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen. Merry Christmas, and may God bless you abundantly!

"Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." – Matthew 25:40 This Christmas season, let’s not leave even one homeless person out in the cold. The number of homeless people continues to rise, and it often feels overwhelming. But together, we can make a profound difference—and it starts with just $13 a month . Why $13? This number holds a deep significance in our faith. Jesus and His 12 disciples—13 in total—changed the world forever. They carried the message of love, compassion, and hope to the ends of the earth. Today, you can use the number 13 to make an impact too. Consider this: There are over 150 million homeless people worldwide. If just 8 billion people gave $1, we’d have $8 billion—that’s only $53.33 for every homeless person on the planet. Not going to go very far In the United States alone, there are over 650,000 homeless individuals. Now imagine the difference we could make if we each committed to just $13 a month. Your $13 can provide: A warm bed for someone who has nowhere to sleep. A hot meal for someone who hasn’t eaten in days. Hope and resources to help someone rebuild their life. As Proverbs 22:9 reminds us, "The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor." This Christmas, I ask you to commit to giving $13 a month. It’s a small sacrifice that can create a ripple effect of kindness and hope, making the world a better place for not only the homeless but for your children and generations to come. Click here to commit $13/month and change the world. Together, we can ensure no one is left out in the cold this Christmas.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, As followers of Christ, we are called to live out His love by caring for the least among us. Homelessness is a heartbreaking reality in our nation, with over 650,000 individuals  struggling daily for basic needs like shelter, food, and dignity. These are not just statistics—they are people, each one a child of God. At Jehovah Saints, we believe it is our mission to bring hope and restoration to those who need it most. That’s why we are proposing the creation of Jehovah Saints Homeless Shelter Facilities  across the nation—places of refuge, healing, and spiritual renewal. Through faith, compassion, and collective action, we can make this vision a reality. The Power of 13: A Biblical Symbol of Transformation If every American donated just $13, we would have enough to build 2,437 facilities —each one a sanctuary for the homeless to find hope, healing, and a path forward. Why $13? The number holds profound Biblical significance. It represents Christ and His 12 disciples , the perfect group chosen to transform the world. Together, they carried the message of salvation, hope, and restoration to the lost. Your $13 donation can be part of a modern-day mission to bring that same hope to the homeless in our communities. As Scripture reminds us, If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it?”  – James 2:16 This is our opportunity—not just to speak of love, but to act in love. What Each Facility Will Provide Every Jehovah Saints homeless shelter facility will be more than just a roof over someone’s head—it will be a place of transformation, designed to restore dignity, hope, and opportunity. Each facility will include: Bedrooms : A safe and comfortable place to sleep. Bathrooms and Showers : Restoring hygiene and dignity. A Kitchen : Providing nourishing meals for physical strength. A Laundry Room : Helping individuals maintain cleanliness and self-respect. Computers : For job searching, skill-building, and reconnecting with loved ones. Counseling Rooms : Offering guidance, support, and hope for a brighter future. A Chapel : A space for prayer, worship, and spiritual renewal—a reminder of God’s unending love and grace. These facilities are not just shelters; they are stepping stones to a better life. They are designed to help individuals regain their footing, find employment, reconnect with their faith, and transition back into society with dignity and purpose. A Call to Action “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.”  – Matthew 25:40 This is our chance to live out the Gospel in a tangible way. For just $13 , you can be part of something bigger than yourself—something that will change lives for generations to come. Imagine the impact: If 300 million Americans donated $13, we could build 2,437 facilities across the country. Each facility would serve hundreds of people , providing not just shelter but hope, dignity, and the love of Christ. How You Can Help 1. Donate Today: Your $13 donation can help us build the first of many Jehovah Saints homeless shelter facilities. Together, we can make a tangible difference. [Click Here to Donate] 2. Spread the Word: Share this vision with your church, family, and friends. The more people who join this mission, the greater the impact we can make. 3. Pray for the Mission: Lift up the homeless in prayer. Pray for the success of this mission, for the hearts of those called to give, and for the lives that will be transformed. A Vision of Hope This mission is about more than just building shelters—it’s about building God’s Kingdom here on Earth . It’s about showing His love to those who have been forgotten by the world but never forgotten by Him. “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.”  – Psalm 82:3 With your help, we can create a network of facilities that will restore hope, rebuild lives, and remind the homeless that they are loved by God and His people. Closing Scripture “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.”  – Hebrews 13:2 Let us come together, united in faith, to make this vision a reality. Together, we can transform lives, strengthen communities, and glorify God through our actions.

What Is It Like to Be Homeless? Understanding the Causes and Solutions to Homelessness Homelessness is a harsh reality that affects millions of people across the United States and around the world. It’s a life of uncertainty, struggle, and survival—a life most of us cannot fully comprehend. While we sleep in our warm, cozy beds, countless men, women, and even children are left to sleep on cold concrete, often exposed to the elements, especially during the unforgiving winter months. At Jehovah Saints Global Outreach , we are committed to shining a light on the plight of the homeless and working tirelessly to provide them with the resources, shelter, and hope they desperately need. Our mission begins here in the United States, where homelessness is a growing crisis, and extends globally as we aim to bring God’s love and practical solutions to those in need. In this blog post, we’ll explore what it’s like to be homeless, the root causes of homelessness, and how we can all play a part in addressing this issue through compassion, action, and prayer. What Is It Like to Be Homeless? To be homeless is to live without the basic necessities that many of us take for granted—a roof over your head, a warm bed to sleep in, and the security of knowing where your next meal will come from. It’s a life of constant instability, where survival becomes the primary focus. Here are some of the daily struggles faced by homeless individuals: Sleeping on the Streets Many homeless people have no choice but to sleep on sidewalks, park benches, or under bridges. During the winter, this becomes even more dangerous as exposure to freezing temperatures can lead to hypothermia, frostbite, or even death. “And if thy brother be waxen poor, and fallen in decay with thee; then thou shalt relieve him: yea, though he be a stranger, or a sojourner; that he may live with thee.”  – Leviticus 25:35 Lack of Basic Hygiene Without access to clean water, restrooms, or hygiene products, maintaining cleanliness becomes a challenge. This can lead to health issues, social stigma, and a loss of dignity. Food Insecurity Many homeless individuals rely on soup kitchens, food banks, or the generosity of strangers to eat. Hunger is a constant companion for those living on the streets. Isolation and Stigma Homelessness often leads to feelings of isolation and rejection. Society tends to look down on the homeless, assuming they are lazy or responsible for their situation, which only deepens their emotional pain. Vulnerability to Violence Homeless individuals are at a higher risk of being victims of violence, theft, or exploitation. Living without shelter leaves them exposed and unprotected. Mental and Physical Health Struggles The stress of homelessness takes a toll on both mental and physical health. Many homeless individuals suffer from untreated illnesses, depression, and anxiety. What Causes Homelessness? Homelessness is rarely the result of a single factor. It’s often caused by a combination of circumstances that leave individuals and families without a safety net. Here are some of the most common causes: Economic Hardship The cost of living continues to rise, while wages and benefits often fail to keep up. For many, a single financial setback—such as a medical emergency, job loss, or unexpected expense—can lead to homelessness. “The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.”  – Proverbs 22:7 Even those receiving Social Security checks or other forms of government assistance often find that the amount is too low to cover basic expenses like rent, utilities, and food. Lack of Affordable Housing The shortage of affordable housing in many cities leaves low-income individuals and families with limited options. Many end up living in their cars, motels, or on the streets. Mental Illness and Addiction Untreated mental health conditions and substance abuse are significant contributors to homelessness. Without proper care and support, many individuals are unable to maintain stable housing. Domestic Violence Victims of domestic violence often flee their homes to escape abuse, only to find themselves homeless and struggling to rebuild their lives. Systemic Issues Factors like racial inequality, lack of access to education, and inadequate social services also play a role in perpetuating homelessness. Natural Disasters and Emergencies Events like hurricanes, floods, and wildfires can displace families and destroy homes, leaving people with nowhere to go. Jehovah Saints Global Outreach: A Mission to End Homelessness At Jehovah Saints Global Outreach , we believe that homelessness is not just a social issue—it’s a spiritual call to action. As followers of Christ, we are called to care for the poor, the vulnerable, and the marginalized. “He who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord, and He will pay back what he has given.”  – Proverbs 19:17 Our mission begins in the United States, where we aim to address homelessness through a combination of direct aid, shelter construction, and long-term support programs. Once we establish a strong foundation here, we plan to expand globally, bringing hope and healing to those in need around the world. How We’re Making a Difference Building Homeless Shelters We are working to create safe, welcoming shelters where homeless individuals and families can find warmth, rest, and support. These shelters will provide not only a bed but also access to meals, hygiene facilities, and counseling services. Offering Job Training and Resources We believe in empowering individuals to regain their independence. Our programs will include job training, resume workshops, and connections to employment opportunities. Spiritual Support and Guidance At the heart of our mission is the belief that true healing comes through faith. We offer prayer, Bible study, and spiritual mentorship to help individuals find hope and purpose. Advocacy and Awareness We are committed to raising awareness about homelessness and advocating for policies that address its root causes. How You Can Help Homelessness is a crisis that requires all of us to work together. Here’s how you can support Jehovah Saints Global Outreach in our mission to end homelessness: Donate Your financial contributions will go directly toward building shelters, providing resources, and supporting those in need. Volunteer Join us in serving meals, organizing donation drives, or helping with shelter construction. Pray Prayer is a powerful tool. Pray for the homeless, for our mission, and for the hearts of those who can help. “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”  – James 5:16 Spread the Word Share our mission with your friends, family, and community. Together, we can make a greater impact. A Call to Action Homelessness is not just a statistic—it’s a human tragedy that affects real people with real stories. This Christmas season, as we celebrate the birth of Christ, let us remember His call to love and serve one another. “For I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in.”  – Matthew 25:35 At Jehovah Saints Global Outreach, we are answering that call. Will you join us? Together, we can provide warmth, hope, and a future to those who need it most. Donate today  and help us make a difference.

In Desperate Need of Donations: Help Jehovah Saints Global Outreach Build Homeless Shelters Across the USA This Christmas Season The holiday season is a time of joy, warmth, and togetherness for many. But for countless individuals and families across the United States, it’s a time of struggle, cold nights, and uncertainty. This Christmas season, Jehovah Saints Global Outreach  is calling on compassionate hearts like yours to help us make a difference. We are in desperate need of donations  to build homeless shelters throughout the USA, offering a safe, warm, and dry place for the homeless to escape the cold, harsh air. This is more than just a plea for financial support—it’s a call for prayers, compassion, and action. Together, we can bring hope to the hopeless and reflect God’s love in tangible ways. The Growing Crisis of Homelessness in America Homelessness is a heartbreaking reality affecting millions of people across the country. According to recent statistics, over 580,000 people experience homelessness on any given night  in the United States. Among them are veterans, families with children, and individuals who have fallen on hard times due to circumstances beyond their control—job loss, illness, or the rising cost of living. For those living on the streets, the winter months are especially brutal. Cold temperatures, wet weather, and exposure to the elements can lead to life-threatening conditions like hypothermia and frostbite. Many homeless individuals and families have nowhere to turn, no warm bed to sleep in, and no place to call home. At Jehovah Saints Global Outreach , we believe no one should have to endure such suffering, especially during the season of giving. This is why we are committed to building homeless shelters across the USA , but we cannot do it without your help. Our Mission: Providing Shelter, Hope, and Healing Jehovah Saints Global Outreach is a faith-based organization dedicated to serving the homeless, the poor, and the persecuted. Our mission is inspired by the words of Jesus: “For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me.”  – Matthew 25:35 We are working to create a network of homeless shelters  that will serve as more than just a roof over someone’s head. These shelters will be places of refuge, restoration, and renewal. Here’s what we aim to provide: A Warm, Safe Place to Sleep Emergency housing for individuals and families in need. Clean, comfortable sleeping areas to protect residents from the cold. Hot Meals and Basic Necessities Nutritious meals served daily to nourish the body and soul. Access to clothing, hygiene products, and other essentials. Support Services Counseling, job training, and life-skills workshops to help residents rebuild their lives. Spiritual guidance and prayer to restore hope and faith. A Community of Compassion A welcoming environment where residents feel valued and loved. Opportunities to connect with others and build meaningful relationships. Why We Need Your Help Now Building and operating homeless shelters requires significant resources—land, construction materials, staffing, utilities, and ongoing operational costs. While we are deeply committed to this mission, we cannot do it alone. This Christmas season, we are asking for your financial support  to help us take the next step in our journey. Your donation, no matter the size, will make a real difference in the lives of those who are struggling. $10 can provide a warm meal for someone in need. $50 can supply blankets and hygiene kits to keep someone warm and clean. $100 can help cover the cost of utilities for a shelter. $500 or more can go toward construction and expansion of new shelters.

Jehovah Saints Global Outreach: Transforming Lives Through Homeless Shelters At Jehovah Saints Global Outreach , we believe in the transformative power of compassion, faith, and action. Our mission is rooted in the teachings of Christ, calling us to serve "the least of these" (Matthew 25:40) by providing hope, dignity, and practical solutions to those in need.

In this blog post, we want to share our vision, plans, and goals for this life-changing initiative and invite you to join us in making a lasting impact. Our Vision for Jehovah Saints Homeless Shelters The Jehovah Saints Homeless Shelters are more than just a place to sleep—they are a refuge of hope, healing, and restoration. Our vision is to create safe, welcoming spaces where individuals and families experiencing homelessness can find not only shelter but also the tools and support they need to rebuild their lives. Each shelter will be a beacon of God’s love, offering: Emergency Housing : A safe haven for those in immediate need of shelter. Support Services : Access to counseling, job training, and life-skills workshops to help individuals transition to independence. Spiritual Guidance : Opportunities for prayer, Bible study, and spiritual mentorship to nurture faith and inner strength. Community Engagement : A focus on fostering connections within the local community to promote long-term support and inclusion. Planned Features of Jehovah Saints Homeless Shelters To ensure that our shelters truly serve as places of transformation, we are designing them with the following features: Comfortable Living Spaces Clean, secure sleeping areas for individuals and families. Separate accommodations for men, women, and families to ensure safety and privacy. Meal Programs Nutritious, home-cooked meals served daily. Partnerships with local food banks, restaurants, and volunteers to sustain meal services. Counseling and Case Management One-on-one support from trained counselors to address mental health, addiction, and trauma. Assistance in creating personalized action plans for housing, employment, and personal growth. Education and Job Training Workshops on resume writing, interview skills, and financial literacy. Partnerships with local businesses to provide job opportunities and apprenticeships. Faith-Based Programs Daily devotions, worship services, and Bible studies to strengthen spiritual well-being. Access to pastoral care for guidance and encouragement. Community Gardens and Recreation Areas Spaces for relaxation, reflection, and community-building activities. Opportunities for residents to grow their own food and engage in therapeutic gardening. Our Long-Term Goals The Jehovah Saints Homeless Shelters are just the beginning. Our ultimate goal is to create a nationwide network of shelters that not only address homelessness but also prevent it. We aim to: Expand Across Communities Open shelters in underserved areas where homelessness is most prevalent. Work with local governments, churches, and community organizations to identify needs and resources.

Hello, I’m Michael Hopkins, Chief Executive Officer of Jehovah Saints Global Outreach. We are in desperate need of volunteers  across the United States to help us in our mission to combat homelessness. I need your help to determine how many homeless individuals are in your city  so we can begin building shelters to meet their needs. Volunteering is simple, yet impactful. Here’s what it involves: Schedule a Zoom meeting with me, Michael Hopkins, to get started. Help identify the number of homeless individuals in your area. Reach out to local churches in your community to seek their support in building a homeless shelter. The number of homeless in your city directly impacts the size and cost of the shelter we will need to build. Construction costs range from $120 to $500 per square foot , depending on the location and size of the facility. For example, a 25-bed shelter  with two bathrooms, two showers, an office, a kitchen, and a laundry room costs approximately $500,000 . To put this into perspective, imagine your own home. If your house had 25 bedrooms, it would be a very large home —and you can see why these shelters are expensive to build. Now, consider that in larger cities, where we may need to house hundreds—or even thousands—of people, the costs can rise into the millions . Once you’ve established relationships with churches in your area, the next step is to contact local contractors  to get an estimate for building the shelter. Every step you take brings us closer to providing safety, dignity, and hope to those who need it most. I cannot do this alone. I need your help— but more importantly, the homeless need your help . Together, if we all pull together as one, just imagine the difference we can make. You can get started today by visiting jehovahsaint.com . Click on Zoom Meetings  to schedule an appointment with me, Michael Hopkins, CEO of Jehovah Saints Global Outreach. Thank you, and God bless you . I look forward to meeting you and working together to change lives across America. Jehovah Saints Global Outreach – Together, we can make a difference.

Helping the Homeless: A Call to Action for Jehovah Saints Global Outreach Imagine if every single person on the planet—8 billion people—donated just $1. That would amount to $8 billion dollars. At first glance, this seems like an incredible amount of money, but would it be enough to solve the global homelessness crisis? Unfortunately, the answer is no. With an estimated 150 million homeless people worldwide , $8 billion dollars would only amount to $53.33 per homeless person. That’s barely enough to provide a meal, let alone address the deeper issues of homelessness such as housing, healthcare, mental health support, and job opportunities. This stark reality highlights the magnitude of the crisis we’re facing and underscores the desperate need for action. At Jehovah Saints Global Outreach , we believe in the power of collective compassion and faith. Helping the homeless, poor, and needy is not just a moral obligation—it’s a spiritual calling. As Jesus taught, true treasure is not found in material wealth but in acts of love, kindness, and service to others. The True Treasure: Storing Up Riches in Heaven Jesus said in Matthew 6:19-21 , "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." This powerful passage reminds us that the things of this world—money, possessions, and material wealth—are fleeting. True treasure is found in serving others and doing the will of God. When we give to the homeless, the poor, and the needy, we are investing in eternal rewards. Proverbs 19:17  says, "Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the Lord, and He will reward them for what they have done." Every act of kindness toward the homeless is seen by God. Whether it’s a donation, volunteering your time, or simply offering a listening ear, these actions reflect God’s love and bring glory to His name. Why $53.33 Isn’t Enough Breaking down the numbers, it’s clear that even billions of dollars would fall short of solving homelessness. Here’s why: Housing Costs : Building or providing shelter for millions of people requires far more than $53.33 per person. Healthcare Needs : Many homeless individuals suffer from physical and mental health issues that require ongoing care. Food and Basic Necessities : Providing consistent meals, clothing, and hygiene products for 150 million people is a monumental task. Job Training and Support : Helping the homeless regain independence involves education, job training, and employment opportunities. While $53.33 per person might seem like a small contribution, imagine what could happen if people gave more than just $1. Imagine if people donated their time, skills, and resources in addition to their money. The Biblical Call to Help the Poor The Bible is filled with verses that emphasize the importance of helping the poor and needy. God’s heart is for the oppressed, the marginalized, and the homeless. Here are some key Scriptures that remind us of our responsibility: Isaiah 58:7 : "Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter—when you see the naked, to clothe them, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?" Proverbs 22:9 : "The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor." Matthew 25:35-40 : "For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me... Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." These verses make it clear that helping the poor is not optional for Christians—it’s a command. When we serve the homeless and needy, we are serving Christ Himself. Jehovah Saints Global Outreach: How You Can Help At Jehovah Saints Global Outreach , we are dedicated to being the hands and feet of Jesus in a broken world. But we cannot do this alone. We need your help—both financially and through your time and talents. 1. Donate Every dollar counts. While $53.33 may not be enough to solve homelessness, your donation can still make a significant impact. Contributions help us provide: Emergency shelter and housing Food and clothing for the homeless Medical care and mental health support Job training and educational programs In Luke 6:38 , Jesus said, "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." Your generosity will not only bless others but will also bring blessings into your own life. 2. Volunteer We need volunteers to: Serve meals at shelters Organize clothing drives Provide mentorship and job training Pray with and encourage those in need Galatians 6:9-10  reminds us, "Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers." Volunteering is a tangible way to show God’s love and make a difference in someone’s life. 3. Advocate Raise awareness about homelessness in your community and advocate for policies that address the root causes of poverty. Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, as Proverbs 31:8-9  urges: "Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy." 4. Pray Finally, we ask for your prayers. Pray for the homeless, for those working to help them, and for hearts to be moved to action. James 5:16  says, "The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." Where the Treasure Truly Lies The world often places value on material wealth—rocks, paper, and digital numbers we call money. But as Christians, we know that true treasure lies in serving others and storing up riches in heaven. In 1 John 3:17-18 , we are reminded: "If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." Helping the homeless and needy is where the real treasure is. It’s not in accumulating wealth but in giving generously and living out the Gospel. Join Us Today The crisis of homelessness is immense, but together, we can make a difference. At Jehovah Saints Global Outreach , we are committed to bringing hope and healing to the homeless, poor, and needy. Will you join us? Donate : Every contribution helps us extend God’s love to those in need. Volunteer : Your time and skills can change lives. Pray : Lift up the homeless and our ministry in prayer. As 2 Corinthians 9:7  reminds us, "Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." Together, let’s store up treasures in heaven by serving the least among us. Let’s show the world the love of Christ through our actions. Will you answer the call?

Join Us in Making a Difference: Volunteer with Jehovah Saints Homeless Shelters! "Thank you so much for watching! May God's blessings be abundant and ever-present in your life." In our journey through life, we often seek guidance and wisdom beyond our own understanding. St. Mykul’s prayer  is a beautiful expression of this desire, a heartfelt plea for divine intervention and alignment with Jehovah’s will. It serves as a reminder of the profound connection we can cultivate with the divine, allowing us to become vessels of His wisdom and love. St. Mykul’s prayer: “I pray for Jehovah to speak through me all the time, and I pray for Jehovah to remove all my thoughts and implant His thoughts all the time, as I do not even want my thoughts. Because your ways are higher than my ways, and your thoughts are higher than my thoughts.”
