Laury and I have been called to South America to Raise Up and Army of Believers in Faith!
We are so are excited to be going to South America to start a revival in God’s Church filled with a demonstration of the real power of the Gospel!
For the past two years we’ve been quietly training people from all over the US and Canada in the gifts of the Holy Spirit watching God build an army of believers, walking in a real demonstration of God’s power, and miracles everywhere we go..
As a result, we’ve seen thousands of miracle healings, the oppressed set free, demons cast out, prophesies fulfilled, churches strengthened, and lost souls making Jesus their Lord! …..and now we’re going international!
We’re so excited to be working with Anthony and Daisy from www.BeTheGospel.com who are connected with some local pastors and churches in Bolivia and Brazil. We’ll be on a kingdom mission to equip the saints and share all we’ve learned about healing, prophesy, evangelism, and street ministry to reach the lost with the real Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Please keep us in prayer as we venture into this new assignment from Heaven! To God be the Glory!
Blessings to all,
Scott & Laury Levesque,

This is an update on Marcos whose testimony we gave below a couple weeks back. He fell from a building and suffered severe brain damage when we met him over the summer. He was looking very bad when we first encountered him, in a wheelchair, unable to walk, unable to talk clearly, and living on the streets in Boston. He recently said that every time we pray he gets better and better and look at him now!
He is quite a miracle to those of us who love to see faith that can move mountains through the finished work of Jesus, and an inspiration to those who need hope! Check out his awesome testimony giving all the Glory to the one true God! Jesus is AMAZING!
This is Marco who had a severe brain injury from a second story fall. This young homeless man was left in a wheelchair without much hope to survive and no hope to ever walk again according to doctors reports. He was in really bad shape and honestly he looked more dead than alive when we first met him on the streets of Boston.
Our team laid hands and prayed for Marcos for about 40 minutes as his speaking gradually improved. We encouraged and blessed him and after leaving, hadn’t seen him in several weeks and wondered how he was doing until coming across him on this day in August where he was sitting in the shade.
We were amazed at how well he was speaking and walking without a wheelchair, without physical therapy, and without speech therapy! Praise God! At this time he had quite a bit of pain in his hip and knees when our friend Ian came across him and started praying for him for a couple minutes until all his pain was gone. He then walked without a cane as you can see in this older video below! The rest of the team ran into him about an hour later and prayed a bit more for him and his walking even further improved.
Finally, we met just him again about two weeks ago ( 2 months later) and he is continuing to improve in every area including speaking and walking but I was so excited I forget to get another video! He’s walking with much more confidence and seems improved by another 50% over this video. He also said he he was pain free since the last time we prayed in August and that every time we pray for him, he significantly improves, and is eager to see us again soon in the future!
We see a lot of instant healing but this is a case where the manifestation of healing happened in steps. The results were accelerated after each encounter of prayer. I think we’d all rather see instant healing but the lesson here for us is to always continue to believe, remain in faith, and don’t let what we don’t see on the outside with our eyes, lose sight of what may happening on the inside by faith. God is just waiting for us to rise up in faith so He can show himself strong.
I’m want to learn to stand firm on His truth so my faith doesn’t get hijacked by relying on what I see with my eyes, even if it takes some time. I want to rely on God’s Word with all His promises and continue to believe through Him, so I can keep my faith from being shipwrecked on the doubts of what I see, rather than on the promises I know that real faith can release. I want to stand on the finished work of Jesus and see the unseen happen, as His Glory is manifested by faith….I want to see more of Him! He is amazing and worth believing!!!
Many of you know that Laury and I along with a several other Christian friends, minister every week to the homeless in the poorest places of many major cities here in the northeast like Nashua, Manchester, Lowell, Lawrence, Worcester, Boston, Springfield, and others. It’s often a bit rough out there among the alcoholics, drug addicts, and mentally ill, but the Lord has stirred our hearts to reach the poor and the lost and it has become a lifestyle for us to reach those in dire need of help and freedom from oppression.
We bring food, water, socks, hats, gloves to any in need, plus blankets and sleeping bags to those who literally live outdoors all year. Some can’t even live in a shelter because of the alcohol, drugs, mental illness, or just because they have completely fallen off the social grid, so to speak.
We come to them with pure hearts and a message of God’s love and as a result, they let us pray for them and many have been completely physically and/or emotionally healed. It’s amazing how open most of the homeless are to the gospel when you have no agenda other than to bless them, love them, and share Jesus. We’ve seen Jesus heal cancer, COPD, arthritis, fibromyalgia, broken bones, pinched nerves, neuropathy, and broken hearts and most were instant healings. It’s truly amazing to see God do such great things, yet at times it can be overwhelming to see this level of spiritual and physical poverty in our own back yard.
There is so much need, and we want to do more. We’ve already purchased about 75 pairs of gloves, 75 hats, 15 winter coats, 50 pairs of socks, and already distributed many of these in the past two weeks alone. We only buy EXTREME bargains with the clothing in order to stretch our resources, but some of the items like the 30% wool blankets run $9-13 each and we are looking to buy 150 of these to distribute to those living outdoors in these cities.
I know it seems everywhere we look, many good causes are looking for money for their ministry and because of some scandals, many Americans are a bit weary to offer help. Even if the organization is on the up and up, we know that some have high administrative cost, salaries, utilities, and sizable marketing costs simply because of the institutional structure required with larger organizations. The bottom line is that often, less of what you donate actually goes to the poor.
But the Lord keeps telling me if we want to do more, then we need to invite our friends, brothers, and sisters to come along side of us in support. The good news is that 100% of what you donate, small or large, will go to the poor and help your local communities!
I know that some may never venture into these dark places we travel, (it’s not for the faint of heart, trust me!) but I also know that many of you have a heart’s desire to help the lost, and support those of us who are called to help the poor, especially in our own local neighborhoods.
We don’t have a 501-3c tax deduction status (not yet but we’ll get there someday!), but as I said 100% of what you help us with, will go directly to supplies for the poor. It’s that simple 🙂
For those of you who already supporting some great causes, please keep us in pray and pray for an abundance of resources to reach these struggling men, women and families. Statistics say that a 63% of Americans are only one paychecks away from living on the streets – thanks for prayerfully considering a one time or ongoing partnership to help bring them supplies, healing, and hope.
You can donate using paypal here, paypal.me/ImperishableLove or drop us a request at testimonials@documentedhealings.com and we’ll send you our mailing address to send a check.
Much thanks and love,
Scott & Laury Levesque Imperishable Love Ministries
The pictures above are from a homeless “tent city” in one of our local towns. I was shocked to find out that there is a tent city like this in most of the larger cities here in the northeast, where the homeless live year round. Whether living with extreme heat and humidity and no electricity for a fan, or water, or a shower, or in the dead of winter at zero degrees with bone chilling winds, this is a reality for more Americans than ever before in modern history. I have to admit, it has been extremely humbling for us to see such need. Thanks for considering their need and your support.
Hey all, check out this 18 minute video of my personal testimony and how I came to Christ. I hope this message can be shared with many friends and family around the world, who go to church but have not experienced a true born again experience, and need real salvation.
Over the years we have come across hundreds of people who profess to be saved, and believe they are saved simply because they go to church, sing songs, and follow church routines. Many believe Jesus is the son of God, but hey so do demons.
The problem is that many do not know Jesus as their Lord, have never turned from their sinful ways, don’t read His word, and would not know His voice from a false prophet if one showed up. That was the state I was in for many years of my life. Like me in my past, if they have not been born again, these friends and family members are essentially lost, with no hope of eternal life if they do not understand that “showing up at church” doesn’t save.
A relationship with Jesus as Lord, is the ONLY thing that can save us. Don’t get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with going to church, but the church can’t save anyone nor bring anyone eternal life, any more than a cross around your neck, a Saint past, a golden idol, or even a virgin Mother.
If you want to be saved, Jesus said you must be born again. Jesus said “I am the way, the truth and the life”. No one can be saved on the basis of going to church, being born into a church going family, by good deeds, or because they are a “good person”. Yes you can be saved in a church, but not by the church. The only way to be saved is by making Jesus your Lord, and being born again.
Make Him your Lord if you haven’t already; Repent, be baptized, and be filled with the Holy Spirit and start living a life for Him. You will never regret it!!
This is the testimony of Jimmy who was in great pain having trouble walking after a terrible accident 6 weeks earlier when he got hit by a car. I saw him walk into the park with great difficulty and a heavy limp. We talked for a while about some questions he had regarding the Bible. then I asked if he had pain anywhere and he said he had pain in his entire body (10 out of 10 pain level). After two quick prayers, Jesus took all his pain away, and he walked normal, with amazement! I took the second video because he got back up in total awe of what happened, testing his new healing. It was a fun day watching Jesus heal so many people including one women who had a lump in her breast from cancer, completely disappear! Jesus is Lord!
More testimonies from the other men who were healed
In July of 2014 our friend from Denmark, Torben Sondergaard from thelastreformation.com agreed to lead at a 4 day healing and discipleship training event I hosted here in NH and MA. Over 90 people attended from 13 states, and I believe the event was the start of a great revival for the church as the Bride of Christ prepares for His return.
Since the event, we’ve seen an awesome awakening where several of us have been hitting the streets for almost 2 years now, watching God transform life after life. People are getting healed, delivered, and set free from pain, sickness, and spiritual death everywhere we go. Salvation and the good news of the gospel are being preached and many are coming to know God’s love and truth for the very first time. The simplicity of the full Gospel with fresh perspective on repentance, faith in Jesus, water baptism, and the infilling of the Holy Spirit are being renewed in the church. This truly has been a reformation for us personally and we really do look and feel more like the book of ACTS church more than ever before! Hallelujah!! This is the gospel of Jesus, this is the life of a believer, ever filled with power and wonder in the Holy Spirit.
Because of these divine experiences, Laury and I have been receiving many requests for training people in healing, street ministry, and discipleship. Recently we were invited to do a conference for a Hispanic community in Texas to preach about manifesting the love of God, the teach about flowing in the spiritual gifts though the simple obedience of laying on hands and ministering in the streets. We were able to preach four different messages to several different groups of people growing in faith, and provide hands on training to those interested. Everyone was excited to see results as we walked in the simplicity of faith, and love. One thing has become obvious as we’ve traveled and met many who are hungry for the manifestations of God’s love, through the gifts and who are hungry to see God bring salvation to the earth through His children; God is ready, willing and able to do a great work through His people, and He’s not holding anything back from us!
If God is calling you and you are interested in getting Kickstarted, please fill out the form below and Laury and I will contact you as soon as we can!
May God Bless you richly,

These are a couple testimonials of people that came to see us and get activated: ————————————————————————————————————- August 15 2015 Bruce and Doretta drove all the way from Akron OH to join us- this was one of their first encounters.
…and this was their testimony from a week later!
Hi folks, I want to encourage you by letting you know that we went to an International Fair at our county seat, Medina, on Saturday to pray. We kickstarted two people, prayed for a dozen and saw three dramatic healings. It was a tough crowd, mostly affluent, but we made several breakthroughs. Jesus lit up three of us at the same time when we ran into a friend who may have “have had” thyroid cancer. She had a recent uncertain diagnosis. We were praying and I felt the power of God, when just at the same time my wife and a colleague from work did. At the end of the day, the two we kickstarted were ecstatic.
Today, at church, a young man came to me at the sound board requesting prayer for a pulled muscle in his rib cage, caused by congestion and coughing he was recovering from. This was astonishing to me, because NO ONE comes asking for prayer for anything, I usually have to chase them down. I prayed four times, and he said the pain was still there. Later I took him to my wife and we both prayed three times – no better. Then I grabbed my phone, and we watched the video of the spinal stenosis case from Manchester. We prayed one more time, “Pain be gone in the name of Jesus!”. He looked up and said, “It’s GONE!” This was a huge victory for me, because I’ve had very little success getting miracles to flow in the church.
We are going to more events, and my wife is tracking down local food distributions like there in Manchester that we can do regularly. I plan to start video documenting soon and posting them at dwjd.us .
Thanks again for our amazing weekend!
Follow up from 9/21- more testimonies from Bruce and Doretta
Hi folks, greetings in our precious Lord Jesus!
Incredible things have been happening. My amazing wife has been scheduling us for every public event she can find, and we’ve found a local food bank where we can pray for people every Thursday! I’m a little behind on our blog, but it’s at www.dwjd.us . (Do What Jesus Did). We’ve seen a man with no feeling in his arms due to a transformer accident regain feeling, a woman in an electric wheelchair get up and walk around her chair, pain go down from 10 (and sometimes 20!) to zero, sprained ankle with boot and crutches totally healed, and last week someone we prayed for in our house is now my sister in Christ! We have Activiated 7 other people, and someone is coming to us from PA this weekend. ———————————————————————————————————————–
Couple Kickstarted from Yonkers NY
Our new friends Steve and Daisy came all the way from Yonkers NY for Kickstart Training. This was one of their encounters in a Manchester NH park! Yay Jesus
——————————————————————————————————————————- Couple Kickstarted from Windsor Canada
Our new friends Paul and Lynn drove 16 hours to be Acitivated – that’s a strong calling to drive so far! It was another awesome weekend of training on the streets, in the parks, in two feeding centers, and in a shopping mall. God sure honored their hunger to serve Him in a mighty way! Jesus showed Himself strong everywhere we went we shared healing and the Gospel! Check out a couple of the videos.
God is moving in mighty ways to show himself strong with the homeless and the poor. Hallelujah!! Over the past three months we’ve prayed for about 6 different people or families who were in need of a place to live and a job, and God responded within 1-10 days when each got a new job and a place to live! One family got both a place to live, and a car given to them the very next day after we prayed in faith, and then a new job one week later! In each case, the person came back to us 1-2 weeks later to give us the testimony of how God had answered their needs. When we pray for such things, we always declare that the signs will come so fast, there would be no doubt it was the hand of Jesus answering the prayer! And each time it happens, everyone is astonished and deeply moved by God’s love for them! You can see that there is a new hope restored and a strengthened relationship with Jesus.
When miracles and signs like this happen, the temptation is to start thinking it was the prayer, or the method that got a result, or that God is like a “genie in a bottle” waiting to serve our every need. The truth is, Jesus has great compassion for the lost, the sick, and the poor, and He is always looking for places to show himself strong, to advance His Kingdom on earth. Scripture says His eyes look to and fro throughout the earth to show himself strong on behalf of them whose heart are completely committed toward Him.
Jesus is looking for followers to take his love to the streets and just believe that He really can change lives – scripture says signs and miracles will follow those who believe. These are signs sent to confirm His Word! Jesus wants to heal the sick, mend broken hearts, and restore hope to the lost! He is the way, the truth and the life! The Gospel is so simple if we just believe His Word!
Our new friends Steve and Daisy came all the way from Yonkers NY for us to train them in healing the sick and preaching the Gospel on the streets (we call it Kickstart Training). It was the first time they had ever seen Jesus using them for healing like this, and after seeing Jesus use them to heal about a dozen people earlier in the day, this was one of their encounters later in the afternoon in a Manchester NH park! It was an awesome training day. Yay Jesus… He is the same yesterday, today, and forever!
Laury and I prayed for this nice Veteran at a soup kitchen in Lowell MA. He said he was in severe pain since 1980 and that the meds they gave never helped with the pain. I think Laury and I prayed twice, and immediately the pain left and he was so amazed that, he just stared at the wall trying to figure out where all the pain was gone after 35 years. Then 2-3 weeks later, our friend Garth captured this video testimony where he was still pain free. In this video, you can see the peace in this man’s face and eyes which is quite different from the day we prayed for him when he was tormented with such pain. It’s not unusual to see such changes in people after they get healed – I love seeing Jesus touch lives like this!!
The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much James 5:16
Back in July our friends Mike and Karen asked us to pray for baby Collin. After some difficulties during child birth, Colin had just been born with severe complications. He was born with blood on his brain, and struggling to breath/survive. His life was in serious danger with talk of not making it or at a minimum, they said he would likely have brain damage.
We prayed one Saturday while on the streets with our prayer team including several other days with Laury and I individually declaring that the baby would recover fully with no side effects, in the mighty name of Jesus. In fact, there were a whole lot of people offering fervent prayer on behalf of baby Colin and his mother. . This was him in the beginning.
But almost immediately, prayers were answered and Collin started to quickly improve. Within a couple weeks he was feeding normal, and off the respirators and feeding tubes. The term kept coming up “miraculous” with the doctors and nurses and Collin was called the “miracle baby” when he was released with no ailments, no brain damage, and perfectly healthy on August 13th. To God be the Glory! Amen
This man came out of his UPS store in Manchester to take a break right after we had prayed for a man and his wife who both got their hearing back (the 50+ y/o woman was deaf since four years old), but that’s another testimony for another day. This man was reluctant at first to let us pray but by the time Jesus healed him, in the end he was literally hugging all of us and super happy we had asked if he had pain! Jesus showed up 🙂
Family from OH drives 12 hours to get Kickstarted!
Two weeks ago, Laury and I and our good friend Garth from JGLM ministries had the privilege of Kickstarting another family who drove an RV 12 hours, all the way from Akron OH to learn how to pray for the sick. Almost every weekend for the past several months, we’ve been Kickstarting a person, a family, or a small church group who are all now seeing healing, deliverance, baptisms, and salvations, bearing much fruit for the Kingdom!
Kickstarting is the term our good friend Torben Søndergaard taught us last year, which basically represents the same method that Jesus used in the Bible to disciple His followers. First He modeled healing and showing the Kingdom, then He sent out his apostles to do the same (Matthew 10), then he sent out the seventy (Luke 10) saying, “Behold I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions and (physical and mental strength and ability) over all the power that the enemy (possesses): nothing in any way shall harm you.” Kickstarting (discipling) is nothing new here…This is the same model that our Lord (who created all things), gave to us and we are simply following Him in His example given to us. (Mark 16:15)
What were the results back then? The seventy returned with joy, saying “Lord even the demons are subject to us in Your name!” And what did Jesus say? He said “I saw Satan falling like a lightning (flash) from heaven.” When Jesus had sent out the seventy, He witnessed the first real example of what His instructions and His template & design to restore the earth would accomplish ….to dethrone Satan ( I saw Satan FALLING!), to destroy the works of the devil, and for “His Kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven”! Yay God that he would entrust such a glorious work to His Sons and Daughters to pour out His spirit through us, and cover the whole earth with His Glory. Seriously, can you catch the weight of that privilege to be called Sons and Daughters and follow His example with the same results. My heart is so stirred with both excitement and awe at the same time, for His marvelous plan to unfold as we each grow in His love, His grace, and His faith!
Well, this wonderful family that drove all the way from Akron, experienced some life changing miracles as we trained them to lay hands on the sick. The video below is one of their first encounters with a case of spinal stenosis. They said their lives have been forever changed as a result and I know they will continue to take what they learned, and teach others to step out in faith and watch Jesus build His Kingdom on the streets! Jesus is King!
Please contact us anytime if you would like to be Kickstarted or discipled and watch the gifts of the Spirit flow through Jesus!
Laury and I have seen so many lives transformed simply by believing God wants to bless his children.
Not everyone needs physical healing. We often pray with people who are feeling pretty hopeless or desperate, so when we pray, we declare the goodness of God over their lives, and believe by faith that Jesus loves them so much, that He’ll shift their reality and bless them.
We really do believe Jesus will intervene and we’ve literally seen several people and families with desperate situations, dramatically changed, and lives restored, within 1-2 weeks.
In this video testimony below, we met Steve two weeks earlier, asked if he needed prayer and he said he needed a place to live, a job, and money. Although he wasn’t begging, I literally heard scripture in my head say “We have not silver or gold but what we do have we give to you in the name of Jesus”, and at that moment, Jesus shifted his reality.
The next time we saw him, he explained to us in tears, that in less than two weeks, he got a job, a place to live, and found $20 on the street. God so loved the world He sent His son, but Jesus seems so moved by those who have been earnestly seeking Him that He can’t wait to bless them. Steve was just one of many such people we’ve seen testimony of such an outpouring.
Yay God!
OK so I know this is a challenge for a lot of people to wrap their belief around who have never seen such a thing, but it’s become a pretty regular occurrence for anyone walking in the supernatural and seeing healing miracles on a regular basis.
Although we experience this regularly as well, it was the first time our friend Peter got to pray for someone with a short leg and he and George were both pretty excited at the end result! Yay Jesus 🙂

These are some recent testimonies with Scott & Laury on the streets:
May 3rd Boston Walk for Hunger – Teens Get Healed!
Our prayer team went to Boston Common to show the Love of Jesus and pray for the sick and homeless. We had just spent about an hour attending to a homeless woman who got healed of pain and delivered from a spirit of hopelessness and suicide, when two young women walked into Burger King badly limping. I asked if they were in pain (which was pretty obvious) and they explained that they had just finished the 20 mile annual “Walk for Hunger”. I said “let my wife and our friend Gbemi lay hands on you and pray so we can watch Jesus take away your pain” They said that they were Christians and believed in healing and said sure go ahead. One quick command for the pain to leave in the name of Jesus and all pain left both of the walkers.
They were pretty amazed and excited and caused a little commotion. They then went back to their table and shared what happened with two other walkers who were also in terrible pain. The two others quickly got up and sheepishly come over to us. I asked if they were also in pain and would like prayer and “YES” was the answer- so Laury and Gbemi each layed hands on these two girls and commanded the pain to go, and the pain was instantly gone – one girl was so excited that she put her hand over he mouth and started screaming so loud that the entire restaurant was looking at what happened! We just smiled and said they were healed by Jesus 🙂
Two other women got healed in Burger King while we were there: One had a cane with a bad knee, arthritis wracking her body, and Fibromyalgia. Her knee got healed, and all her pain in her body left and she proceeded to walk out without her cane! Jesus is so awesome!
After that we went out to the Boston Common and encountered about 20 more people in groups of 1-3 who were also limping and in extreme pain from the walk. Over about a period of one hour, every person prayed for got instantly healed from pain by Jesus! It was so much fun and a bit like popcorn exploding all over the park as each got healed by different team members.
It was so cool watching all the reactions from the teens we prayed for- one young man said he’d been in church his entire life and never seen anything like this (nor did I up until 4 years ago) another young woman was so moved, that she started to weep after Jesus took her pain away. It was an awesome day in the Lord! Yay! God
My wife Laury and I along with our friends Bethany, Janice, Yvonne, Garth and sons Adriel and Garret came across this gentleman on the streets of Lowell who was in a wheelchair scooter. We talked with him and he said he had extreme pain in his feet from a birth defect. We asked what level of pain out of 10 and he said 20! We first offered to pray and he insisted that this was his condition and he always lived with severe pain every day. It took a few minutes for him to take us seriously and I think we finally said something like “what do you have to lose anyway?”
His pain instantly went from a 20 to an 8, then a 4, then 1, then a zero within 60 seconds. Garth then told him to get up and check the pain, so he stood up and said he had some new pain in the bottom of his feet. If I remember correctly, I think he said that pain on the bottom of his feet will never leave either. We challenged him saying if all the other pain left, why wouldn’t you think Jesus could remove the rest? We pressed in and prayed twice more and all that pain was gone in about 10 seconds as well! Praise Jesus – He is Lord!
We ministered on the streets for several more hours that day and saw many such healing testimonies, but later in the day we happened to see the same man outside WITHOUT his scooter! Yay God!!!!
God loves the despised, the brokenhearted, and the lost.
This is an older one from last fall I forgot to publish. A team of us had met at His Way Home Church in Haverhill to to go out on the streets praying for the sick in a less popular section of town on Saturday afternoon in September. I went into a small grocery/package store to buy some water.
There was an older woman in front of me waiting in line at the counter. I noticed she had her wrist all bandaged up. It was very similar to the picture I attached on this post. I asked her what was wrong. She said she just had surgery on the arm/wrist. She was extremely intoxicated, slurred a bit, and seemed very depressed and hopeless.I think the “old me” would’ve looked at her and judged her in kind of a religious way because she was drunk. But instead, my heart instantly expanded and I felt great compassion for her condition. Maybe that was the real miracle in this story! It was purely the compassion of Jesus because it’s so much greater than anything my old nature could muster up and whenever it happens, powerful things follow.
I asked her what her level of pain was on a scale of 1 to 10- she thought about it and said it was about an eight. I asked you if I could pray for it and she said yes. I prayed once in the name of Jesus and asked her what her pain level was again. She looked so drunk that she actually seemed like she forget I had just prayed for it! But her reply was that the pain was about a three. I quickly laid my hand on it again prayed one more time and asked her what her pain level was……She had a big smile and she said it felt really good! I told her Jesus did it because He loves her, she smiled again and said thanks.
I heard someone recently say that healing is one of God’s “languages of love”. I like the way that sounds and in this example, I’d have to agree He was speaking to her on that day 🙂
God’s love is truly amazing, ….Jesus is Lord!

Blankets, Hats, Gloves for the Homeless
