Non-denominational Young Adult Worship Group Feed The Homeless In Washington Dc Metro

January 2014

The Great Banquet hosted by a nondenominational young adult worship group named yuhhlo(youth under his glory) fed the homeless in shelters across Alexandria and Springfield as well as Washington DC giving away packaged meals , evangelizing and praying for them with the overall goal of winning souls for Christ. The Great Banquet is an initiative put forward by Youth Under His Glory Ministry (Yuhglo) and the young adults of NX Generation Young Adult Ministry (NXG) to bring food and the warmth of the Word of God to those who are without.

An estimated number of 13,205 homeless people live in the Greater DC Area. Many of these individuals day-by-day go hungry spiritually and physically. Although we can't reach this amount in a single project, by the grace of God we will avail ourselves to those whom we can reach. Thus we are initiating this feed the homeless project titled "The Great Banquet Project."

“We collected donation of non-perishable canned good that will be used to cook and set up a buffet style lunch in at a specified location in Alexandria. We also aimed at packaging about 100-200 lunches contained in portable lunch bags. These bags were given to a group of volunteers who drove around the Greater DC Area in search of the the homeless and shelter homes to deliver it to. Each lunch package had an indication of God's love and care for them and a Bible.”

Their vision is to share the love of God and also speak about Christ to the homeless people in the Area. “We aim at praying with/for them as we carry through with this project. “

Items Donated were: Canned Items: Green Beans, Corn Packaged meat: Ham, roast beef or turkeyMac & Cheese Packs of Water Cookies Bags of Chips
