Jumpstart Ministries (fundraiser-Becky McMahon) hasn't added a story.
I hope that this story will help you be inspired to give to this incredible ministry. Just knowing the heart of the women behind it blesses me.
At the age of eight, Joanne Sweeney and her family had just moved to Springfield, Oregon after her dad was released from prison. My dad, Mike Egli, knocked on her door inviting her and her family to Sunday School. This is where she accepted Jesus Christ as her personal savior. Over the next 10 years she was picked up by Calvary Temple's Sunday School bus. Most of those years I recall my dad driving that Sunday School bus. Not only did he pick up her family but also all of us and my now husband.
The bus ministry is near and dear to my heart since my own husband, Jeff McMahon, was one of the kids that rode that bus week after week. I recall often knocking on doors inviting kids to Sunday School and VBS.
It excites me to see Joanne continue the mission of loving on kids. Giving them hope. She knows first hand what some of these kids are living through.
Jumpstart Ministries goes out each week to children in low income areas, bringing them HOPE. Teaching them about the gospel of salvation. To their world, in their neighborhoods.
Since 1999, Joanne and Jumpstart Ministries have been taking Sunday School to the streets, providing the good news of the Gospel as well as back to school backpacks, Thanksgiving turkeys, and Christmas presents for children and teens, performing hospital visits, praying for children, attending their birthday parties, holding them when they cry and celebrating with them as they succeed!
Proverbs 29:18 “Where there is no
vision, the people perish…”
Joanne has a vision for these
kids to bring the Gospel message to them, to teach them to have a
vision for their lives, and to let HIM reveal to these children their
hope and calling for their lives. As a child someone shared that same
message with her and gave her a vision, and now she has an opportunity
to share what had been given to her with others.
To continue to love on these kids and their families a Sunday School Van and a Sidewalk ministry truck is needed.
Would you be willing to give to Jumpstart Ministries Van?
Would you give and be apart of giving HOPE to kids in need?
Watch an interview to hear Joanne's about this ministry... https://vimeo.com/345241936
I'm excited to see where God takes this ministry... in it's new van.
