We were homeless for 3 years living in our car and they helped us. He put us in a house with a roof over our head. Now we are able to take care of ourselves and take care of business.

I am writing you this letter because of how good it was to have you as my care provider. Not just because you are a fantastic housekeeper but because you are thoughtful, caring, dependable, and very adaptable to my needs. You’re especially good about setting my doctor’s and dental appointments and managing my medication and any other health care I may need.

Sincerely & Truly,

Jerry B.

1 year ago this month July 17th I checked myself into Vista Del Mar in Venice, CA, a dual diagnostic hospital for drug abuse and chronic depression; I was there for 1 month. When I was discharged I was homeless- I had lost everything I owned the months prior. My sweet daughter sent me a ticket to come be with her. I didn’t even have a coat and I only had the clothes I was wearing. After a few weeks in her home I became chronically ill and went into a rest home in September and remained there for 4 months. I had no one and nothing except my daughter and she was unable to take care of me due to being ill. GBY (God Blesses You) Ministry accepted me into their transitional housing and living program. I’ve been under their care and guidance since then. They provided me with unconditional love, encouragement, and understanding. Pastor Micheal Jones and his wife Andrea took me to all of my appointments gave me affordable housing, and spiritual guidance. They taught me how to talk to God and turn to Him for everything. When the time was right Pastor Jones and Andrea even moved me into their home where I rent a big beautiful room. Their family has loved me back to health.

GBY MINISTRY is a non-profit organization that I would highly recommend for anyone in transition or if you want to help make a difference in the lives of people like myself you can donate to: GBY Ministry, P.O. Box 490, Vallejo, CA 94589

I am now a productive member of society and full of gratitude to GOD and GBY

Sincerely,

Cathy C.

2015 i was searching for food to eat and Pastor Jones came out to offer me food. He and his wife paid for my food at Denny's. I was offered the ministry number and invited to come for a make over. i phoned the next day and was given the opportunity to reside with them for a short while, however my stay has been longer than what was expected. I felt like a fish coming out of water. I was an alcoholic for over 25 years estranged from my family. While with GBY Lazarus Living i have had the opportunity to attend church services and i have been clean from Alcohol since August 2015. The ministry has stood by me, supported me and allowed me to recover. They are my family.  I Thank God for guiding me to GBY Lazarus Living.
