Stories of Hope

Today during the shower ministry at Salvation Army Merced, we were blessed to hear words of gratitude from a gentleman that frequently shows up for a shower and a change of clothing.
 
H.S. is an undocumented worker from Mexico who has been in the USA for more than 20 years. He has been visiting the showers for about 2 years. He admits he struggles with alcoholism but has found love and support from everyone at the shower ministry and told us today that the weekly showers have been such a blessing to him. He has felt the presence of God!
 
H.S. will be retuning to Mexico in a few weeks to reunite with family and said the first thing he wants to get will be a huge sombrero with “God Bless the USA” embroidered on it.
 
He shared that if not for the love and respect he was given through our ministry, he doesn’t know that he would have made it.
God is faithful and is with us always – He loves us NO matter what! We pray with and for everyone that come through our ministry at Love INC. We are thankful to serve our Lord while showing kindness to our community.

It was Michael’s first time at the shower yesterday – after signing in and taking a refreshing shower he thanked us saying:

“You guys are so nice. It’s nice to be treated like a human being”

What a blessing it is to serve others and to have a conversation with them!

We host private units ready for our brothers and sisters that are in need a shower and fresh set of clothing – even breakfast!

We would love to see you, have a conversation and pray for you. All you need to do is show up. See you soon.
