Zephaniah Ministries was created for the sole purpose of being inclusive. A ministry for those of us who took "the 40 year plan" (wandering in the wilderness for 40 years instead of following God from the start), many of us come from dysfunctional families, many of us are products of broken homes and have created the same for our own children.  Many of us have been abused; many of us have been abandoned, many of us have been hungry or suffered in some way by the hand of someone else or even by our own hand. While I have made many bad decisions and did not always do the "right thing" God has always had his hand on me.  He has called me to minister to the hurting, the people, like me who have made poor choices, to the ones who are lost and don't feel loved, to the ones who just can't seem to get it together, who may have many failed marriages or relationships.  I hate it, but I have practical experience.  I have been there and God is going to use my time in the wilderness to love and help others to find Him.

    Isaiah 50:4 (New Living Translation)   

We are so happy to support Zephaniah ministries in this way. Our love, prayers and blessings are always with the ministry to share God's love and grace to the lost as well as Christians hurt by ministry or a simple lack of understanding of the "Good News".  

We know that  the real hands and feet of this ministry are not ours but Pastor Don, Trecy, Pastor Carra and Jenny Taylor. Their care and ministry to the homeless, hospice, workplace and streets are examples of Christian love sharing the "Good News" with all who will hear it.

 Isaiah 50:4 (New living Translation)

  The Sovereign Lord has given me his words of wisdom,
      so that I know how to comfort the weary.
   Morning by morning he wakens me
      and opens my understanding to his will.
