To The Rainbow Gathering

HELP for all Nations is a ministry that reaches out especially to young homeless people and to drug addicts on the street. It is our hearts desire to lead them into a saving relationship with Jesus Christ that will change their lives.
In Austin, Texas we are on the streets every weekday with our Cream And Sugar Trailer, providing a place to experience the power and love of God. People come to receive a coffee or some hot ramen noodles or cold water, but they also come to be accepted as they are and to be with people who are interested in their lives. This is how we share the Gospel.
An essential part of our vision is to reach the whole sub-culture of young travelers and runaways with the Gospel.
An important element of this sub-culture is an annual celebration known as the National Rainbow Gathering. The Lord has put on our hearts the people there, and we plan to serve as many of them as possible. Last year the Gathering was held in the Ozark Mountains in Arkansas; we were blessed to be there and it was a huge success.
This year we plan to take our Cream And Sugar trailer all the way to Wyoming to be at the National Rainbow Gathering 2008! We need your support and prayers to make this possible and successful.

The Details

The Gathering will be held in Wyoming with the exact location to be announced the week before the event begins. The climax of the celebration will be July 4th, and we plan to be there a couple of days beforehand.
The Cream And Sugar trailer will be open during the day, and we plan to serve ramen noodles, coffee and cold water just as we are able to do in Austin. We will pray for people, heal the sick, and share the good news with the people who come.
It would be wonderful if we could also give out clothing -- especially socks.
If you would like to support our efforts by making a donation, please visit our website at: http://www.hfan.org/support. If you are living in the greater Austin area and are able to donate clothing, socks, or ramen noodles, please contact us to arrange a pick-up.
