The Homeless In Orange County
Rockabilly For Christ was started back in January of 2006 in Orange County as a
Christian Outreach Evangelistic band to play music to people who do not know
Jesus. We then began to support The Red Wagon Ministry with our
Evangelistic music on Monday nights playing to the Homeless.
Unlike other ministries that offer
free food to the homeless, the Red Wagon Ministry actually gives a Bible message
every Monday night before the food is served. The reason this is so important is
because if you offer someone some free food one day and then the next day they
die without knowing Jesus, where is their soul? We believe that Jesus would rather have all
Christians give the poor people His Word first and then the food second. In this way, each and every
person is being given the chance to receive Jesus into their hearts before they
leave this earth.
After the message is given and an alter call is offered to everyone, the food is
served and we begin to play our Evangelistic songs. We are actually
ministering to everyone who is there. Our mission is to lead others to
Jesus through our upbeat rockabilly Christian music.
There are roughly 30,000 Homeless in Orange County as of July 2006. Some
people may think that the Homeless are all just a group of drug addicts,
mentally ill people or
alcoholics but this is just not the case. In fact, many of the Homeless
are living on the streets or in their cars as they lost their jobs due to one
reason or another and could not pay the rent or mortgage.
There are no pictures of any Homeless on our website as these people have their
dignity just like you and I. It would also be an invasion of their privacy
if we would post a picture. The homeless would prefer not to have others
looking at them on a website. Nobody that is living on the street wants
their past or present to be displayed on a website that displays their troubles.
Most of these people have hit rock bottom. Some of these beautiful people
lost their jobs and lost everything. Some have become addicted to drugs
and have lost all senses of any direction. Some have just gotten out of
jail and are trying to start a new life. These are the same type of people
that Jesus came to save.
Serving and helping these people try to find their way is what Jesus would like
everyone to do. In the Bible, the rich people would ridicule Jesus for
associating with these same kinds of people when He lived on this earth.
How many people today are able to help a homeless person but are just not
willing to because they are afraid of them or that they just look down at them?
You don't have to give these people any money. All they really want is a
little respect and a little love. Just one kind word to these people goes
along way and can give them a sense of hope and well being. We have a
couple of people on our ministry team that use to be homeless. Now these
people have jobs, a roof over their heads and are productive in our society.
A few kind words and an open heart for these people goes a long way.
Please don't despise them, just remember that some of these people use to be
CEO's, business men, construction workers etc.
We pray that God's Holy Spirit uses everyone in this ministry to help these
people and to guide them in the right direction that is in accordance with God's
will for each and everyone of them. Our ultimate wish is that each and
everyone of them hears the voice of God and then they turn to Jesus Christ as
their Savior and Jesus leads them off of the streets and back onto His path for
whatever God wants these people to do with their lives.
You can meet the ministry teams as we witness to the Homeless on Monday Nights at
the Santa Ana Civic Center from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. We preach the
Gospel starting around 7:15 pm in English. At 7:30 pm we preach a second
message in Spanish that concludes around 7:45 pm. We then serve the food
and begin playing music while the homeless are eating. At around 8:15 pm after everyone has
been served their food, we then form a prayer circle and pray for those in need. At
8:30 pm, we load everything back up and head back to the Fellowship Hall kitchen
in Costa Mesa.
There are four teams that you can volunteer for in the Red Wagon
Ministry that serve the Homeless in Santa Ana.
TEAM-1 is the Red Wagon Kitchen Crew.
They meet in the Fellowship Hall kitchen every Monday afternoon from 1:00 pm to
3:00 pm to prepare the food.
TEAM-2 is the Red Wagon Food Transportation Crew.
They meet outside the Fellowship Hall kitchen from 6:00 pm to 6:30 pm to load
the food and tables into the truck to take over to the Santa Ana Civic Center.
We all so gather together and pray before leaving.
TEAM-3 is the Red Wagon Food Servers.
They meet at the Santa Ana Civic Center around 7:30 pm to help serve the food to
the Homeless from 7:30 pm to
8:00 pm after the Gospel Message is given in both English and Spanish.
TEAM-4 is the Red Wagon Clean Up Crew.
This team meets back at the Fellowship Hall Kitchen from 9:00 pm to 9:45 pm to
help clean up.
