Matthew 25 Ministries has many needs that need to be filled at this time.  Here are just a few of them, if you can help let us know. Thank God and may those who have helped be blessed when they enter, and blessed when they leave. For they will never Want, because it's Gods' promise.

 Help Make a Change in Coleman!

 

Matthew 25 Ministries has leaders dedicated to working with at risk youth,

at The Cross. There are 20-30 children from ages 2-12 coming each week.

Many that come to The Cross come from broken homes and have relatives in prison. Also work with teens through Community Service and ministry.

We are dedicated in teaching these youth a better way through Jesus Christ.

 

The Cross

Gives the youth somewhere to go;

Many walk the streets looking for something to do.

The Cross gives the youth something to do; many get in trouble out of boredom.

The Cross gives the youth someone to be accountable; many don’t have anyone who cares.

The Cross gives the youth someone to listen and teach them how to release the bitterness & anger in their lives instead of numbing it with alcohol & drugs.
