An awesome and humbling year at Love in Action

Serving the homeless and needy with our new food trailer
expanded our food ministry in 2018.

Seeing people come to Jesus is why we do what we do.

It's awesome and very humbling when looking back at all God did in and through Love In Action in 2018.

Here are just some of the highlights:

- More than 80 of our homeless and needy friends here in Dothan, Alabama, made decisions for Jesus.

- Martha and Ken witnessed more than 100 people, most of whom were previously unreached with the Gospel, come to Jesus in India and Myanmar during mission trips to both countries. More than 1,000 more came to Jesus in India, Myanmar, India, Pakistan, Haiti and Philippines where we partner with indigenous pastors and missionaries.

- Served more than 10,000 meals to our homeless and needy friends in Dothan, Alabama. That is a record number for us in one year.

- Served more than 1,000 patients at the Samaritan Clinic on the campus of Love In Action in Dothan, Alabama. That is a record number for one year.

- Taught the discipleship method Training for Trainers (T4T) to more than 125 people in Dothan, India and Myanmar.

- Baptized new believers in Dothan.

-  New roofs were put on the Love In Action buildings ... paid for in full. This was an answer to a long-time prayer requests.

- Purchased a new food trailer to expand our food ministry. The food trailer was paid for in full.

- Purchased a bus to expand our transportation ministry. The bus was paid for in full.

- Started ministering on the radio on The JoyFM with the "Love In Action Minute" and "Sunday Morning with Love In Action."

- More people involved with Love In Action than ever in financial giving, donation of items, volunteers, and fundraisers.

- A stronger bond of unity with The Ark and The Harbor to better reach and serve the homeless and needy in Dothan, Alabama.

- Seeing more fruit being produced among the homeless in Dothan. Toward the end of the year we saw more hope in the homeless community than ever before.

Providing dental care for the homeless is one of many
blessings of the Samaritan Clinic.

This man in Myanmar gave his life to Jesus during our
 mission trip, was baptized, and is being taught
T4T to become a disciple of Jesus.

We provided water filters to give safe, clean
drinking water for people in rural villages during
our mission trip to India.
