Annual Outreaches
​​Our Thanksgiving Outreach was a tremendous blessing—19,812 people were served with a warm meal and the message of God’s love. Even more incredible, 700 individuals accepted Jesus Christ as their Personal Savior during this special event!
During our Christmas Outreach, we joyfully delivered 7,700 gift bags to children in need. While our December newsletter reported serving 5,550 children, leftover supplies allowed us to create and distribute even more gift bags, extending the reach of our Christmas blessings.
Thanksgiving Outreach
Since 1992, through a vision that came to Dr. Samaniego, we began to feed hungry souls in the colonias the day after Thanksgiving. We started by providing 1,000 meals and are now up to 22,000 meals. The meal consists of turkey, vegetables, mashed potatoes, beans, salsa, tortilla and a drink. While the meals are being served, we minister to the hungry by singing praise songs, giving testimonies and preaching the Word of God.
Christmas Outreach
For Christmas, we minister to 5,500 children through what we call: Operation Gift Of Love. Children in the colonias receive a gift bag containing candy, personal hygiene items, a small toy, new socks and underwear, and a small bible tract. These are children that would otherwise may not receive anything else for Christmas.
