Join leaders from Boy With a Ball for an info session this Friday from 7-8:30pm at 88 Tremont St to learn about our work in Boston and how you can join us in helping young people reach their dreams!

Bible Studies in the Suffolk County Jail

Pre-pandemic, a team of us sponsored by the Boston Dream Center co-led “Soul Care” Bible Studies at the Suffolk County Jail, 200 Nashua Street for about 5 years.  Over 700 men participated. Although there is still a COVID masking restriction, there is a new possibility for volunteers to serve at the jail following background check and orientation.  We have been invited to relaunch Bible studies as soon as we can get a team together and get ourselves organized.  I invite you to a ZOOM information meeting June 9 – 7-8PM to explore this possibility with you.  (If you are unable to join the ZOOM meeting, but are still interested please contact me).

Fundraiser for BHCHP

A team from Park Street Church has been trying to support a local healthcare program for the homeless in their support for the homeless population especially during this season of COVID-19.  In meeting their needs, we also hope to find ways to gently share the gospel of Christ to both the staff and the homeless individuals and families.  One such need is raising funds to continue serving the homeless.  We have a facebook group going to help us both sell and buy items in which all funds raised will go towards supporting this organization.  This is an ongoing event.  If you are interested in joining us and participating in any way, please contact me at ahava137@gmail.com.  Thanks!

Clothing the Needy With Warmth & Dignity

Jesus aCross the Border will be collecting cold weather gear and grocery store donations to put together care packages for those in need that we encounter on October 19th.  We will start our event at St. Anthony’s Shrine on Arch St. with prayer and an orientation at 11am.  We will then head to the Boston Common (near the Brewer Fountain) to distribute the cold weather gear and bagged lunches and most importantly connect with the homeless.

JATB’s goal is to provide comfort and support to those we encounter reminding them of their dignity as children of God and tending to their needs with provisions to keep them warm and fed, but most importantly with prayer and actively listening to those we encounter.  We believe this is our mission as disciples and collaborating will help the young adult community have this opportunity to strengthen their faith journey with seeing Jesus in the poor.
