It's that time of the year again! We're busy with all the preparations for our upcoming New Years Events. We are celebrating our 8th New year event! This year's theme is "You are Loved". We are gifting 100 care packages to the homeless of Downtown Miami.
We are extremely humbled and grateful because the Lord is good. His faithfulness has remained from the start and we believe strongly in Jesus name that He has wonderful things in store for His people.
At the heart of our annual New Years campaign is the desire to share the love of Jesus with all who feel abandoned. At our last ministry meeting, we discussed an important idea: what's the point of these care package gifts? Won't they be used up in a couple weeks? It won't change the situation at all, so why even do it?
Here at JROL, we believe in gifting with love. Our goal is that these gifts will touch the hearts of those who believe that they are forgotten. There is One that sees every single person on this planet and He knows their every need. He uses His people to deliver a message to the broken-hearted:
"You see? You're not alone. There is someone who cares."
And so this Holiday season, let's unite to give a gift with the purpose of stirring the hearts that have become hardened and isolated from God's love.
Care Package Details:
Each care package will be filled with these Top 5 TRAVEL SIZE essential items:
- Tooth Paste- Tooth Brush
- Body Wash

Through the eyes of a spectator, everything in the downtown of Miami looks beautiful and pleasing to the eye. The tall skyscrapers, the beautiful night sky, the stores and all the luxurious restaurants you can find. But within all that beauty and craze, lies the unsettling lives of those who call the streets their home. Monday to Monday, we do this outreach mission that for us is as worthy as the air we breathe. Getting to co-part with the works of Jesus to us is an extreme privilege. This Monday was a breath of fresh air in this hot Miami weather.
Arriving to our regular spot, the audio was assembled and the volunteers along with those there at downtown gathered for a time of worship. As the presence of the Lord was felt so tangible, we welcomed our brother Braulio to give the special word for the night. The preaching focused on its main verse in James 4:7-8 “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double minded.”
The word was like a double edged sword that was piercing through the hearts of those who needed it the most. Like many of us might have once heard, our mess becomes our message. Our brother Braulio shared a humbling testimony in which many of those living on the streets could relate. From suffering with an addiction to heroin, coming in and out of jail and even living on streets, this message that he had for everyone was surely one that captivated those in need of hope.
There was surely a release of grace over all of us that night; having such a powerful word was exactly what those of downtown needed. After receiving their portion of the spiritual food, then came the time to start serving the one that everyone highly anticipated. Monday’s menu was one that was hard to resist, a pleasant bowl of lentil soup. The soup contained an array of hearty vegetables and delicious chunks of sausage. Everyone surely left with a full and content stomach that night.
As the night was quickly coming to an end, our prayers and help still remain for those facing the hardship of being homeless. Like our Brother Braulio who once faced these difficult trials but was more than conqueror through our Savior Jesus Christ. Our hope is that they too can come out of the streets and have a new home in the comfort of Jesus. As each Monday passes by, closer we get to seeing more breakthroughs in the lives of our friends fighting the good fight. God bless!
