Walking in Memory of Bishop Archie Clay...Relay for Life Sumter S.C.

Over the past few months the ministry has been working with the Bethesda Church of God and the Sumter Relay for life folks. We have conducted many many types of fund raising events for the Cancer Society.

We became involved with this event in memory of our ministry founder, Church of God Bishop Archie B. Clay who passed from this life into Heaven this year from cancer.
Our team from the church was over 100 people strong and we had a very good event tonight. As we walked all night long I kept Bishop Clay in the front of my mind. He was a five star General in the Army of God and now he rests in his reward. I consider it an honor to work for this event in his memory.

Easter with the Bethesda Church of God in Sumter, S.C.



This Friday at our church, the Bethesda Church of God members of the drama department and Ministers of the church began conducting communion (The Last Supper) every 30 minutes beginning at 10am and ending at 5:30pm. The sanctuary was made to resemble the upper room and members of the play cast reenacted the last supper with the members of the public seated at the table with disciples and Jesus who was played by Jason (Rev. McCarthy) .  16 communions were conducted with a approx 260 people attending. What a great way to celebrate Easter. This was an extremely moving experience for me because I was able to participate in this with one of my grandsons Miles. What a wonderfully moving experience this was.

It is our strong desire that you and your famlies are blessed and coverd in the love of God this Estaer.

Renovations complete at the Community Care Home!!!

Today the painters finished the job!!! Thank you Lord! The whole place looks fresh and new. It is amazing how much difference a new paint job will make. Everyone was all smiles and the mood was very light and happy today as they all began to move back into their newly painted bed rooms. :)

This week we will begin the new bedding comforters, sheets, & pillow cases for all of the rooms. Things are shaping up very nicely here. God has surely smiled down on these precious people here in the home.  I will be sure to post photos as soon as the bed rooms are complete. If you contributed to this project, please stop by and see what a difference your donations made in the life of these kind folks. We pray that God will bless you and your families.
Think about this....Its Easter weekend. On Easter, this
year our friends at the home were blessed with a new look and feel in their own bed rooms. God does hear our prayers!! He will answer your prayers, just like He answered theirs. What will you ask of Him???

Happy Easter!!!

Psalm 67:1-2
May God be gracious to us and bless us and make his face shine upon us, that your ways may be known on earth, your salvation among all nations.

Church of All Nations Orlando, Fla.


This week we attended Church in Orlando Fla.
After a wonderful service and during alter call Susan noticed a lady that lingered at the alter. We both could see the profound sadness on her. Susan began to pray with her and talk with her there. Her story was very sad indeed. She says that she is alone in this world no family no friends. She only had a dog as her companion for the last 13 years. This pet became sick and died just recently. She tells Susan that she just did not want to live any more. Right there God sent down a word for this lady Susan relayed the word that God had given for her.  I stood away and watched this all occur. I could see as the heart break begin to heal right there in front of me. God was working this hurt and pain out for her right there at the alter. She let heart cry out at that alter and God himself sent the "peace be still". He is kind and just!  his answer is yes and amen!!

What a day we had in Orlando !!!  God is kind and just!!!  Ask what you will he will answer you!!!!

Cooking Chickens for Bethesda Church of Gods Missions Program

To raise money for the mission group to go to Central America later in the year.  We met our goal. Thank you!!!!  to everyone that supported us today! 
                                                     

Today in Santee S.C. at a local restaurant


Today while My wife Susan and her Sister Eileen and I were eating breakfast in Santee SC.  Susan noticed a man in  the rear of the restaurant eating alone. There was just something about him that would not let Susan go. We could tell that there was some type of sadness about him. As we ate and continued our conversation Susan just got up and went over to his table and introduced herself. She sat down and had a nice conversation with him. As I was watching from across the room I could tell he was feeling better, it seemed that his smile had come back just a bit. 

When Susan came back to the table she told us that he said that his wife had just died not too long ago and he was having a great deal of trouble with the loneliness and the heartbreak of losing her. Susan gave some very kind words of encouragement. It did seem to help him.

Think about this for a moment...How many times in our busy life do we just blast past someone in need of a smile or a kind word???  I would ask that we all slow down just a bit and look around us...pay attention to that small still voice that says.."be nice".

God has allowed us to show these nice folks love and compassion tonight and over the past few months and we have enjoyed every moment of it. The smiles and laughter here tonight were grand indeed!!!

Jason preached a message on the LOVE of GOD,  we had a nice prayer and the party started. We sang and visited and ate and ate some more!!

Thank you for your donations!!!  They have made a huge difference in so many lives.
God bless you !!!

Saturday Jan, 21 2012 here in the streets of Sumter.


Today it was cold, raining, overcast and dark here in Sumter, S.C. So, Jason and I took to the streets in hopes of shining a little light into some lives today. One of our stops was at the local runaway shelter. There were 6 people there at the time. We could tell their spirits were a bit low. We learned that some of the kids  there had nothing more than the clothes on their backs. We were able to give away 7 winter coats, hats, many pairs of  gloves. and 5 large bags of all types of clothes for them. During our visit we learned that they did not have a Bible in the house anymore. It just so happened that we had just been to the store and bought 3 new Bibles for just "such a time." After a very nice, fun visit with these kids we noticed that there were smiles all around and the mood there was lighter than when we arrived. To God be the Glory! On another stop ..The Light House of Hope Homeless Shelter, we were able to give away 6 winter coats and many hats. These guys were very happy to receive some new items of warmth. We had a great visit with these folks as well!

Then it was off to tent city where we got great news!!! Larry had moved into a house in Wedgefeild and Tim had gone into rehab. Tim and his parents had reconciled and they were supporting his efforts in rehab. God absolutely delivered these guys from tent city! This news was an  answer to our prayers indeed. Now Jimmy was left all alone in tent city on this dark cold day. He was down hearted to say the least...During our conversation with Jimmy we learned that he needed some socks and he was in need of an Old Testament because he had read all of the new testament we had given him a few months ago. We were able to give Jimmy 14 pairs of new socks and a new Bible and a big box of twinkies. We spent some time with him standing out in the rain under the trees. I think we were able to give him some hope before we left him. All in all for the day ,we gave away 13 Winter Coats, 13 Hats, 7 Pr. Gloves and 14 Pr of socks to people that had a real need. But more importantly we were able to let these folks know that they were loved and someone cared enough about them to come out on a day like this and just share a smile and some time. I think we are all called to go out and give this God Love to all people. Today was a great day indeed!!! God blessed them and us today. If you have warm items to give folks in need......let the Lord lead you to do so. If you do not have it to give...give them your smile and the hope of Jesus' love!

I just needed to profess this Word on our page this morning!!

Amos 9: 13 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

After an awesome night last night....our phone rang today and this scripture came to LIFE right before our eyes!!!!!!

To God be all the praise and glory for the blessings that flow. Our prayer is the God blesses you, your family and your business 100 fold!!

Christmas party tonight at the Community Residential Home Sumter, S.C.

Jason installs the new TV and DVD
Tonight we spent the evening with the folks at the Community Residential Home. We had a grand time indeed!! We sang Christmas songs and Hymns and everyone got a large gift bag full of good stuff, The folks ate 12 dozen cookies, and drinks ....They even got a new flat screen TV and DVD player and a stack of new movies for movie night. Jason thanked everyone for letting us share this night with them, Susan read the Christmas story from the Bible, and I said a prayer over the food and the evening. The employees even received a Gift card from Walmart.


Eileen and Emma sing !!!



The party !!!



 










God truly blessed tonight !!  We just joined them and had a very nice Christmas party. We made many new friends tonight. I am sure that we will be in their lives for a long time. One of the older ladies took my wife aside and told her that this was the best Christmas she had in her whole life.
The Head nurse here said that she had prayed that God would bless these folks this Christmas because some of these folks never have any visitors at all..ever! She said that she asked  God to let them have a good Christmas this year...and He delivered!! We were the third group this month to visit them... God is kind and just to answer our prayers...He does hear us. and He will answer!!! 

My Grandson Miles with a
truck load of Christmas on the
way to the party
This night was not about the gifts, but rather the time we were able to spend with our new friends, and the blessings that God has given us to pass on to others.So, as we sang "Happy Birthday to Jesus" with them, we looked around the room, and thanked God for allowing us to share His love .Christmas time, as many other times of the year, is a lonely time for so many. And all they really want is a smile, or a hug, or a few minutes of your time. Let us try to be aware of our surroundings this Christmas season, and share the love of Jesus as much as we can..........

This Christmas we have been blessed to touch 31 famlies in two states.
 John 1:14

14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Merry Christmas !!!!

I was told a story today..You all should read this.

A minister from Florida told me this story today. It just got to me a little bit.  This middle school teacher was having a conversation with one of her students on the way to the lunch room. When they got to the lunch room the teacher noticed that the student did not get in the food line. Instead he just took a seat without eating. When the teacher ask if he was going to eat the student responded.... "No, its not my day to eat".
As it turns out it was his brothers day to eat. They actually took turns eating every other day.

God please open our eyes to see and notice these things around us that need addressing in the name of Jesus, and anoint us to boldly step into the situation and minister the compassionate love of God in that moment.

Christmas blessing in Louisville KY...A smile is restored for Christmas.

Today we were directed to a lady who lives in Louisville Ky. We will call her Ann. Ann suffers from a life long disease called Osteogenesis imperfecta. Over her lifetime she has broken almost all of her bones at one time or another. Now she is in her 60s and not able to work, In fact she has not been able to work for the past 13 years. For many years Ann's teeth have been disintegrating and now she has no teeth. She is on public assistance and has no medical or dental insurance. For last 10 years she not been able to actually chew any food!!! Think about that for a moment...... it seems that she has been unable to find any help at all with this problem. It appears that she had become concerned with her appearance and rairly went out in to the public. She had become a bit of a shut in because of this issue.

Today during a ministry board of directors meeting while we were discussing the Christmas season and some of the assignments we were working on..I felt a strong urge to be silent...just to sit there and be still...Then it came...like a waterfall!!!! I said...what do you guys think Ann needs? Instantly everyone at the table felt a witness of the Spirit.

So...Tonight we contacted her and told her that we wanted help her have her dental work corrected and to have some dentures made for her. When she heard this news....She cried and cried. She said that this was indeed an answer to her prayers. If you consider her situation in its fullness, it just makes you sad for her. But in her midnight hours, God heard her hearts' cry. He is kind and just in His answer to her.....YES And AMEN !!!

And now for Christmas Ann from Kentucky receives her smile back. God restored her smile !!! This smile is an outward expression of her inner joy. The scripture says that the joy of the Lord is our strength. I would like to ask our supporters to pray for her as this will be a bit of a long process to get her from where she is to having her new smile.

Psalms 30:5 “...Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”

This Christmas at the Community Residential Care Home in Sumter, S.C.

This Christmas, Help Out Guys Rescue Ministries will be spending time with the folks at the Community Residential Care Home here in Sumter, S.C.

We will bring with us, an oversized Christmas stocking filled with all kinds of "Good Stuff"  for every resident at the home.  Our hope and prayer is that we will be able to bring some Christmas cheer and hope to these folks that live at the home. While we were visiting with the staff at the home we found that one of the heating units was not working so well and that they had a very old small television in the day room. So...We ask our Heat/Ac guys to stop by and look at the heater for them. Our intent is to replace the old TV with a new flat screen for them all and to have the heat repaired as well
.
We are not asking for donations at all this Christmas...All we ask is that you consider us and the folks at the home in your prayers each day.

Over the Christmas season there will be many, many people that will not have a visit from a family member or even a friend.  Sometimes the best gift one could give is ...your time. We would ask that as you celebrate this Christmas with friends and family...Remember those people who may be in real need.

You know...If you have never done this type of thing before ...This Christmas is a good time to start. What better way to celebrate Christmas than to start a family tradition of bringing hope and a smile to people that need it.... Think about it for a moment.  We here at Help Out Guys Rescue Ministries wish you all a Very Merry Christmas !!!
Matt. 25:40And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

Feeding the needy today here in Sumter.

Today we teamed up with a number of folks from our church and other churches from the Sumter area at the Garden Circle Apts. kitchen  . God blessed us to be able to make and deliver 475 Thanksgiving meals. These folks might not have had a traditional Thanksgiving meal at all this year. As we moved around town from home to home or tent to tent, we were able to visit shut ins and and some very sad folks. It was heart warming to see the smiles and kind conversation that took place today. God truly blessed today here in Sumter.

Delivering to Randolph Manor
Would you consider for a moment just how much God has blessed you this year?  Think on the good things God has done for you. How truly wonderful He has been to us all.  Read this verse ...And just let it in....Psalm 95:1-6


Hopemobile full of good food
"O come, let us sing unto the LORD: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God, and a great King above all gods. In His hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is His also. The sea is His, and He made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the LORD our maker." (KJV)


Thank you all for your donations,  help and prayers today. We are stronger together than apart.


Were we in the wrong place or the right place at the right time today??



Today while we were delivering the food for the needy, I took a wrong turn and needed to turn around so I could get back on the right path...."I thought that I was in the wrong place" but as I was turning around we noticed that a Trooper was arresting a bad guy right there in front of us. In a split second the bad guy began to fight and knocked the trooper down. Matt and I jumped out of the Hopemobile and ran to the trooper and jumped on the bad guy. After a short struggle on the side of Hwy 378, the Trooper was able to get the handcuffs on the bad guy. We held him on the ground until other help arrived.(SEE THE PHOTO).  Wow what a day!!!!
Think about this ...Even when you think you are on the wrong path in your life or in your travels ..You may be just where God needs you to be in that moment!  I feel sure that we all just experienced a devine appointment for that Trooper and that bad guy.  I would ask you to survey your surroundings...take a look around.  Are you in a God moment right now !!!??? It makes me smile when I think that when I woke up this morning ..The last place I thought I would be was on the side of Hwy 378 in the ditch fighting with a bad guy. Thank you Lord for sending us and protecting us.

Please remember all of our Troopers, Sheriffs, Police and Military in your prayers tonight..... God please keep them all safe and alert as they protect us. 

Psalms 37: 23-26 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down, for the Lord upholdeth him with His hand. I have been young and am now old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread. He is ever merciful and lendeth and his seed is blessed.  KJV

Sunday at the homless breakfast kitchen and the runaway shelter...


Loaded Hopemobile
Today before church, we went downtown to the kitchen for breakfast with our friends who live outside. There was a very nice devotion message and a nice breakfast as well. (This takes place 7 days a week) For today however, we brought winter coats, socks, hats, and gloves with us. After breakfast God blessed us to be able to give 37 coats, 10 pr socks, and 4 hats. After we left the kitchen, we stopped by the local run away shelter. There, we found that there was only 1 young girl there. She did not have many clothes at all. We were able to give her a very nice new winter coat and a new light weight jacket to wear to school this winter.
In total this winter we have been blessed to give...143 winter coats, 120 pr socks, 60 pr gloves, and 64 hats. God has helped many needy people here in Sumter already this winter. We thank you so much for your donations and prayers.

He even sends His blessings in a big red van..


Today as you read this, we hope you will take just a moment and consider giving God thanks for all He has given you and blessed you with this Christmas season.  This week take a look around while you are out and about town, see if you see an opprotunity to help or bless someone.  If so...Please consider stepping into a God moment and meet someones need.

Fish Fry in the park for the needy today...(Sumter, S.C.)


Today we joined with a few other ministries here in Sumter S.C for the second annual fish fry in the park for the homeless and needy. We all had a grand time.  We fed about 200 folks. Two preachers brought the word of God, Salvation came to many people today. We also gave away 95 Winter Coats, 110 Pairs of socks, 60 stocking hats, 60 winter gloves and 10 sets of Thermals.  Praise God Indeed !

There was a point today when we were giving away the coats when the crowd surged forward to to try to get a coat .We could feel the desperation in the group. We could feel it! There was a real fear that someone would have to leave there still cold, But God provided for them all!!  Right there and right then !!
and Henry got a new 3xl winter coat and some fried fish


 At one point this precious little boy (See Top Photo )  tugged on my shirt and said..."Do you have a coat with my size"...It was not so much the words that he said ..It was the pleading look in his eyes. I almost lost my composure. Indeed we did have what he needed and a stuffed bear for him as well!!  In fact all of the kids got a stuffed animal.




We just want to say a heartfelt thank you to all of the fine compassionate people that came out today to show the love of God in deed and word .Our prayer is that God will richly bless you in all of your endeavours.
She is playing in the park in her new Barbie coat.


and the Preacher preached!
Tonight as we close this story, our thoughts and prayers are with and for the folks we met in the park today. We pray that God would reach to them all,  and that they , in turn would reach out to God ,that their needs would be met and life would get easier for them all.
Our prayer is also for all who read this...That God would reach to you and you would reach God tonight. That God himself would give you compassion and love enough that the next time you see the pleading in a young child's eyes or feel the desperation of a person in your view ,that you would boldly step to them and meet their need. Live the love of God in deed and word.

1Corenth 13: 13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

Today in Sumter....



My precious Grandson Miles

This morning we spent the day in the streets of Sumter. We spent sometime at a local community care home and then we went to tent city. Jimmy and Larry were there. Both of them needed a winter coat and they needed some lamp oil for the lantern that they heat with. After that, we went over to South Sumter and visited with some folks that live off of the Boulevard Road. (See Photo below)
All the while, Miles was right with us, as he is many times when we go out to do this ministry. This morning we were standing in a circle in the parking lot of Walgreens Pharmacy, all 6 of us were holding hands praying for protection for Jimmy and Larry. I opened my eyes for a second and saw Miles praying for Larry. It just made me smile . I think, "how blessed I am, indeed." To be out on a Saturday morning ministering the gospel, and doing a good work for the kingdom, and right beside me is one of my precious grandsons.  In that moment I realized that 3 generations of my family were standing in that parking lot ministering together.  Today was a very good day!

South Sumter
There are so many times when we  intend to bless others and we end up being blessed as well.......there is a scripture in Amos 9 that speaks of this... look it up. Think about what Amos is saying...Amos 9: 13

Just a thought about the weather this week...

This week the weather changed a bit so Jason and I will go out this weekend and provide winter coats and gloves to  everyone we find that are in need. I wonder if we all slowed down just a bit and looked around us ,what we would really see. There are so many people out there who are in need or in some type of peril. Yet in our busy day we tend to ride right by them or walk right past them.  I would like to submit to you for your consideration that we all take a few moments this week and look around and really see....

Tonight the good Samaritan story is on my mind.... He saw the stranger who was injured and went to where he was.... Look around ...Could you be a good Samaritan today??

I will write more about what we encounter this weekend when we go out into the streets of Sumter . We covet your prayers for this ministry and for all of those folks who are in need.....

I just don't know how to tell this story












Have you ever met someone that was so down, so deep in the hole, so hopeless that they could net even begin to know how to receive a blessing? Please pray for this family we met today. They have been beaten down to the point that they just have no hope. Please pray that God would restore their faith...I am sure I will write more of these folks as God works this situation out for them.

Tonight the Sumter Police Called us...Kind of a reverse 911...

The Sumter Police notified us of a family that was living in a house that had no air conditioner at all. So we responded to the call... We found two young ladies with 3 children and 1baby on the way, living in a single wide mobile home. They had no air conditioning and 1 box fan. She says that they all stay in one room so everyone could get some use out of the fan. We had a good conversation with them and let them  know that they were in the midst of a God moment right now!!  And then out came a new window conditioner..They were blown away !!  She could not believe that God would send her a blessing just like that !! While we installed the unit we had a great God centered conversation. She commented that she was soooo impressed that the local police would call us to help them. She was very thankful indeed!! Then we learned that some times that they had to go days without eating so the kids could eat. We sent them to the Bethesda Church of Gods food pantry and to the churches Angels in cloth clothing project for clothes for them all.... She says that God had answered many prayers for them in one day!!  The whole time we were with them the conversation was centered on God and His Kingdom. You never know how God will send the blessing !!

Air, Food, and Clothing were provided for these kind folks in 1 phone call from a police officer who was moved with compassion. God Provided Once Again !!! and He always will!!  I would like for all of our readers to please mention the members of the Sumter Police Department in their prayers tonight, that God would bless them mightily, and keep them safe.
