 We thank you very much for your donation and continued support in 2024. Your generosity allowed us to complete the water well service by acquiring a water meter installation via Aqua Water Supply. Repairs needed of the septic grinders were also completed. We were able to install a third mobile home that included installing electricity and plumbing. Not to mention the upkeep of the emptying of three septic tanks and maintaining the SAFE shelters for unhoused families and individuals. We distributed fans in the summertime, filled backpacks w/school supplies for back to school and distributed food boxes in all areas of Bastrop Texas once a month, all this to only name a few. It was much to our delight, through your charity, Christmas’ Vato Claus was able to distribute over 800 toys to needy families’ children. Plus giving out a bit over 100 grocery food boxes to the parents of these children. Again, thank you for your support and kind consideration towards ITSHUH Ministry.

Austin Church Under The Bridge serves the Austin homeless population by bringing church to them. The ITS HUH Ministry Prayer Walk 2020 was a huge success. There was worship played and prayer at each rest stop. The Bastrop community was invited to join virtually (Facebook) or pray in-person. God delivered BIG. Enjoy the pictures. The following story is written by a former family living at the SAFE Shelter:
"When we came to the SAFE Shelter, we were facing multiple crisis. Our marriage was in question, our children were hurting, we were hurting, we'd lost almost everything, and had been cut from our immediate family. I think it's obvious to say that our relationships with God needed tending to, too. Though we had met Pastor Roland and Sister Rosie a few years beforehand, we hadn't stayed in touch and I especially was very skeptical. When Pastor said that we'd have to attend church a set amount of times, I was more skeptical. Even though I considered myself a Christian, at the time I felt like church was uncomfortable. But we were facing hard choices, and it was a light commitment for a short period of time. We were shown to our cabin the same day we called for help. I was surprised. It was plenty of room for our large family of 5. Meals were offered and provided, but there was also a small dinette area if you were in the mood for something else. The kitchen was always full of friendly, caring people. Including Sister Rosie - who would sometimes sing along with the radio. It didn't take long for the folks at the church, the shelter, and the kitchen to feel like family. Pastor Roland didn't just provide us with a safe place to start over, or great advice with our problems. He also gave me the fortitude to get right with God. Our time at the SAFE Shelter is something that we still cherish, even though we have our own place now. A part of me wishes we could have stayed there forever! We are currently living in a nice apartment, but already planning out an even bigger and brighter future in both our lives and our business. Though life has been busy, the Church for Whosoever is still our church. We still very much love our church family and can't wait for everything to get back to normal so we can enjoy things like movie nights and Bible study again!!! I firmly believe that God brought us to the SAFE Shelter so that we could start our lives over with a great church and loving family in Christ. " -RKC (Name revoked for privacy reasons) A local soup kitchen has adapted its approach to help more people throughout Bastrop County, including in Elgin, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In The Streets - Hands Up High Ministry is a soup kitchen and a shelter for families located at 987 North State Highway 95 between Elgin and Bastrop. The ministry began offering bagged lunches in mid-March at their soup kitchen when the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic began to reach Bastrop County. When they could no longer let people come in to eat, they offered these meals through a drive-through on Mondays through Fridays from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. They also began distributing meals throughout the county, such as at the Bastrop Housing Authority on Wednesdays and at the Bastrop Public Library on Wednesdays and Fridays. Another of their weekly spots is the parking lot of D2, formerly Regulator’s, in Elgin, on Tuesdays from 1 to 3 p.m.; they will begin serving there on Fridays as well. Then, starting on April 17, the ministry began offering hamburgers at Greater Galilee Baptist Church in Elgin on Friday afternoons from 4 to 6 p.m. According to Roland Nava, the founder and CEO of In The Streets - Hands Up High Ministry, they make 500 bagged lunches for people throughout Bastrop County; on Tuesdays, he added, they give out between 125 and 150 lunches at the Elgin location. During their first time stationed at Greater Galilee Baptist Church in Elgin on Friday, April 17, they gave out about 20 hamburgers, but Nava said they expect to see more people in future weeks since that first day was rainy. |
