It all started as a "crazy idea" that we thought we were just making up in our heads, but it has slowly become a reality. God continues to show us that He is the one that put this vision on our hearts. As we started looking at what and who was around us in our everyday lives, we noticed that we encounter many different types of people. Some may be believers and others may not be. Some may be criminals and others may be saints. Any way you look at it, you are going to encounter those that don't know that Jesus loves them and wants to have a relationship with them. What do we do about that? LOVE THEM. That is the only answer. We have to love these people right where they are. This is in no way going to be easy, but it is a must. Personally, we believe that we will be held accountable for our interaction with the people that we encounter in life. When I see that someone doesn't know Jesus, I want to do something about that. God has given all of us the gift of the Holy Spirit, and with the Holy Spirit we can do something about it. First, we started taking some kids to youth on Wednesday and church on Sunday. We also started taking homeless people to church on Sundays. We have seen numerous people accept Christ in a little over a month. God is absolutely blowing our minds with the things we are seeing happen. God has been breaking our hearts for people that don't know Him, so we have to do something about it. What if more kids show up? What if we encounter 100 homeless people? (Easy to find in Greenville and Anderson) How can we help these people? We really feel that God is leading us to start a non-profit ministry that reaches out to the people He loves. Jesus said in Matthew 25:40, "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me." We want to be able to do something for these people and we know that God wants us to too. The ministry is called The L.O.T. Project. It is an acronym standing for the least of these. Also in the old testament, Abraham pleaded to God to spare Lot's life, and we are pleading to God to spare the lives of those who don't know Him YET. Give us one more month, one more week, one more hour to show these people the love of Christ, that is our prayer. We have been praying over this for months, we have been serving with all we have, and we have been asking others for advice. The L.O.T. Project is becoming a reality and God is blowing our minds and lives are being changed. Feel free to pray or donate to this cause, and know that your contributions are greatly appreciated.

Scripture That Inspires Us
Acts 5:38-39 - Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God."
Matthew 25:40 - "The King will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."
1 John 3:17-19 - If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. This then is how we know that we belong to the truth, and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence.
Matthew 18:12-13 - "What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.
James 1:27 - Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Proverbs 31:8-9 -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."
Psalm 72:12 -For he will deliver the needy who cry out, the afflicted who have no one to help.
