07/07/2010: "Urban HUG Team Formed!"

Eduardo Bryant, who used to hang out in downtown Atlanta during his more sinful days visited his old stomping grounds the evening of Friday, July 2nd. He saw the homeless hanging out on the street with everything they owned in their backpack or paper bag. He watched as they tried to rent metered parking spaces to unwary visitors to the Greyhound Bus station. He stood in awe as hundreds lined up to be fed by loving hearts and caring hands led by the grace of God. Although they crashed someone else's event, Eduardo and the other Local Out-Team volunteer who was with him witnessed to the homeless and lead three lost souls to Christ that night.

That night stirred a passion in Eduardo's heart that had been simmering for a long time. The passion to serve the homeless of downtown Atlanta. On one Monday each month Eduardo will be leading the newly formed Community Bible Church Local Out-Team's Urban HUG Team to the parking lot on the southwest corner of Peachtree Street and Trinity Avenue to feed the homeless, but he needs your help. He needs volunteers willing to serve both food for the belly and food for the soul. He needs volunteers to help prepare the food, as 200 mouths are a lot of mouths to feed. And he needs food - lots and lots of food!

If you want to go help feed the homeless but cant make the scheduled Monday. Call Eduardo. He is coordinating with other churches and ministries to help make certain the homeless are fed every night of the week. So he will be leading teams up to the event site several times each month to assist other churches and ministries in feeding the homeless on some of the nights they host the event.
