Helping Hands

Thank you for your interest in partnering with New Venture!

Under the helping hands ministry are a number of options. You can participate in special events – such as the Autumn Fest, the Smoke-Out or Sunrise on the shore. These ministries need always help and you would call the church as these events arise.

I do have other ministries that help and serve others to offer as well.

In order to receive emails for either ministry, I would like you to respond to me to let me know how you would like to be plugged in.

Needs Ministry:

This ministry is helping wherever there is a need. People may need help with shopping, moving, transportation, home repair, cooking, gardening or simply need company. If you are willing to give your time to help someone in need, this is your ministry. You give your time and your talents to this ministry.
People contact me with their needs and I will send out emails as they occur. If you feel you can fill one of the needs, simply reply to me and I will get you in contact with the person that is in need of help.

Families in need:

There are families that have fallen on hard times and cannot afford to buy food, or have to choose whether to buy food or pay bills. There is a group of us that meets every Wednesday at 5:45 in front of the bookstore. Each of us brings some food, fruit, juice or cleaning supplies and we will go out to bring these items to families in need. Some people simply drop off some food during the day and we will take it to the families in need.

Homeless Ministry:

Here we have several options; you can help out at “The bread of Life” shelter here in Oceanside. They need helping hands in feeding homeless people; they also accept donations of any food items or toiletries.

Bread of life shelter:
1919 Apple Street
Oceanside CA 92056

Tel.: 760-722-0800

San Diego street Outreach:

That is a ministry that goes out to the homeless where they live – on the streets in San Diego.
We head out most Sundays in the early evening to bring food, water and prayers to the homeless. You can bring food or water, juice or fruit. You can expect 2 – 3 hour commitment in down town San Diego. You need to be prepared to bring food (please inquire for more details) and should dress down. There is more to know about this particular ministry. Please inquire for specifics.

Thank you so much for wanting to serve our Lord by participating in a ministry!
