The poor homeless scurried for shelter from the afternoon's wind storm, bitter cold and driving rain!

Dearest Sisters and Brothers in Christ,

Just a short note to let you know that the November, December and January Holidays coming up have seen the addition of many new outreaches to the homeless by our "Servants" - Gifting now along with food and water, ladies' purses packed with hygiene supplies, backpacks filled with men's toiletries, blankets, jackets, rosaries and much more to 80,000 + homeless in the region.

We recently added monthly truck deliveries to homeless living under bridges, in alleyways and behind dumpsters in 10 cities: Anaheim, Oxnard, Ventura, Santa Paula, Los Angeles, Cathedral City, Palm Desert, Indian Wells, Palm Springs and Indio, California.

Please pray for my new book, "Proof of the Afterlife 2" which is with the editor now, Rick Cotterman and the cover is in progress with the graphic artist at Exodus Design, Kristine Cotterman. God, willing it will be in bookstores soon.

In "Proof of the Afterlife 2", you can look forward to 400 pages packed with true stories of God's peace, grace and mercy coming to build hope in us direct from the afterlife. Visions, God-encounters and revelations that continue on to this very day after having been dead for 30 minutes of a heart arrhythmia the night of September 26, 2005. The first book was a wide-selling publishing success having had more than 10,000 readers while sharing my testimony on television and radio shows coast-to-coast.

There will be a book launch at Barnes and Noble in Ventura, CA as well after the first of the year.

You all are invited as our special guests to Servants of the Father of Mercy "10th Annual Jesus' Birthday Party", Friday, December 30th, 6pm to 9pm - free for our families, friends and guests. RSVP Invitation attached.

Prayers and blessings! + Bro. Gary Joseph

Tim Tebow: Christian All-Star Athlete Speaks out on "Fox & Friends" about being Homeless, Hated, Betrayed, Broken, Despised, Rejected, Ejected and Forsaken - God's Poor Little Way!

GOD'S POOR LITTLE WAY!

Tim Tebow: Christian All-Star Athlete Speaks out on "Fox & Friends" about being Homeless, Hated, Betrayed, Broken, Despised, Rejected, Ejected and Forsaken - God's Poor Little Way . . .

Former NFL first-round draft pick turned pro baseball prospect Tim Tebow is a devout Christian.  Patriot's coach, Belichick, who cut him after he completed 36.7 percent of his passes during the Patriots’ 2013 preseason.

Today, “Fox & Friends” host Ainsley Earhardt to Tebow: “Some people say that your faith is a distraction and maybe that’s why you have not landed with a team for a long time, and I applaud you for that, because you’re putting your faith above the sport, and I think that’s awesome,”

“It’s difficult because the cut also cuts into your pride, it cuts into your goals, it cuts into your dreams, and when all of that feels like it’s shaken, how do you react? How do you handle it? And, for me, I felt like, ‘Hey, going to the Patriots was gonna be a dream come true.’ Play under Tom Brady, and then when he retires, we’ll go play for Belichick and win a bunch of Super Bowls, and that was my goal. That’s what I thought was gonna happen, and then you get cut and it’s like, ‘Hey, what do I do next?’

“I remember before flying to Jacksonville and sitting on the edge of the bed in a hotel room thinking, ‘OK, I have no house, no car, no one wants me to do what I want to do, what do I do next?’ And at moments like that, that’s when you really find out what your identity is all about and what defines you.

“That’s really hard, especially when you feel like you’ve worked so hard to get to a point and then this was it, this was going to be the opportunity, this was going to be the dream come true, and it gets shattered right in front of you. That is very difficult.”

10th Annual Jesus' Birthday Party Invitation!

IT'S THAT TIME OF YEAR WHEN THE POVERTY, PEACE AND JOY OF HOMELESSNESS SHINES!

LETTING OUR HOMELESSNESS SHINE FROM THE MANGER TO THE GRAVE!

Servants of the Father of Mercy is the only charity that can boast our founders and patrons, Jesus, Mary and Joseph lived and immersed their lives in homelessness:

1.  Jesus, born homeless in a manger, not a Sheraton.

2.  Mary, Jesus and Joseph, homeless refugees in Egypt's desert, not the Caribbean Islands.

3.  Jesus and the disciples lived homeless with one coat and one set of sandals, not at the Macy's Mall.

4.  Jesus, died homeless in a borrowed tomb, not Forest Lawn.

5.  Jesus, descended into homeless hell, not to Heaven his eternal home.

Join up with the crazy life of homelessness and get to know the other side of Jesus, His poor little way.  There's lot to do this Holiday Season, but you must call now before time and destiny passes you by.  Say "I would like to help somehow with my time, talent or treasure!"  Call Bro. Joseph at (310) 595-4175.  I will pray for you that you will make room for Him in the inn of your hearts.
