We are supporting a Christmas Celebration in Haiti this month for a hundred children at Pastor Harry’s church, Premiere Eglise Baptiste De Savanne Blonde.

UPDATE 12/12/10:  Praise the Lord, funds have been raised for this event! Continue reading “A Christmas Celebration in Haiti”

Update 12/12/10 – Unfortunately this trip has been cancelled for volunteers.  Kenny will still go to Mexico to deliver the 1000 pairs of shoes, but it is too dangerous down there with the drug gang violence to take volunteers.  Please keep Kenny and his family in your prayers as he makes the trip.

The volunteers of Give Me Shelter Ministries and First Baptist Church, Ft. Walton Beach,  leave FWB Christmas night at midnight. Would you like to join us to celebrate Christmas in Mexico and help us deliver the shoes to the children and families?

We’ll arrive in Laredo Texas  the 26th. We will be staying at Primera Iglesia Bautista Church stateside; we will travel back and forth across the border each day. We will deliver the shoes and food at two locations: Pastor Felipe’s church and Pancho Villa colonia.  We will be in the field the 27th and 28th,  leave Laredo mid morning on the 29th and spend that night in Houston.  We will get up early the morning of the 30th and head to FWB.

The cost is 90.00 per person. Each person is responsible for meals to Mexico and back to FWB. The 90.00 covers all transportation and meals while in Texas and Mexico and the cost of the hotel room in Houston.

Anyone interested should contact Kenny via email or 850-496-7398.

Haiti Mission Trip Oct. 26- Nov. 4, 2010

Praise God from whom all blessings flow! Once again I head to what is fast becoming one of two homes away from home, Haiti and the other Mexico. I am traveling again with my childhood friend and fellow surfer Dale Winslette. He is accompanying me to Z’Orange to help with the mission house being constructed by Truth Evangelistic Ministries.   Continue reading “Report from Recent Haiti Mission”

and his family.  His mother passed away this week and members of his family must travel down dangerous roads to attend the funeral.  It is dangerous to travel in the areas around Nuevo Laredo due to the drug gang violence.  Please keep the Hernandez family in your prayers.

Update 12/12/10 – We reached our goal of 1000 pairs of shoes!  Praise the Lord and THANK YOU to all contributors!

This week we ordered 750 pairs of shoes from PayLess Shoes… Praise the Lord!  I am so humbled by this. We are only 250 pairs away from our goal.

Please prayerfully consider helping us reach our goal of covering 2000 feet in Mexico this Christmas. Submit your donation of $15 for each pair of shoes that will be great gifts for the people who receive them.

Kenny returned to Haiti on October 27  to continue work on the house for missionaries with Chuck and TEM.  They will return November 4th.  Please keep all the missionaries in your prayers.  Your support for projects such as this are greatly appreciated!

Dear Friends and Family,

As a result of our fundraising efforts last year at this time, Give Me Shelter Ministries was able to distribute 1000 blankets in the colonia’s where we work in Nuevo Laredo, Mexico. Locally we raised over $6,000. and as a group we met our goal of $11,000. I can’t describe the feeling of giving a blanket to a family who has never owned one. Most of us probably own more blankets that we will ever use yet for many of these people owning one was not within their means. Thank you again to all of you who made this possible.

We will be returning to Nuevo Laredo this Christmas and our hope this year is to bring 1000 pairs of shoes.  However, we cannot do it alone. We are once again asking for help from our friends and family. The cost of purchasing shoes is $15. This will cover the cost of the shoes as well as any duty we have to pay to transport them across the border.

If you would like to help GMSM meet our goal of purchasing 1000 pairs of shoes you can do so by donating $15 or any dollar amount you would like to give. 100% of what you give will be used to purchase shoes. All checks should be made payable to Give Me Shelter Ministries (GMSM) and mailed to P.O. Box 864 Shalimar, Fl 32579. We need to place our order for the shoes by mid November so if you would like to help us, please send your donations no later than November 10, 2010. All donations are tax deductible. (UPDATE: Thanks to a deal with Payless Shoes, we have until DECEMBER 5th to receive donations for shoes. We have already raised $8,000 for this mission, so we’re over half way there!  Praise the Lord!  Please help us complete this mission… buy a pair of shoes for $15 TODAY!  Just click the PayPal “Donate Now” button and indicate you are offering shoes for this mission.  THANK YOU and God Bless!)

As always, we thank you for your continued support of our mission work in Mexico.

Yours in Christ,

Kenny Phillips: Founder/Director
