THE PROJECT

Bare Bottom Ministry, Inc. is dedicated to meeting the needs of men, women and their children.  The Bible declares that we will always have the poor among us.  However, as Christians we should be seen giving.  Matthew 25:35-40 says,  "For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, 36 I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ 37 Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? 38 And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? 39 And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ 40 And the King will answer them, â€˜Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[f] you did it to me.’  When we give to what the world considers the least of men, we give to the Lord.  Bare Bottom wants to be found guilty of giving.  

 

With the help of our supporters, BBM provides food and toilitries each month to the homeless men, women and children in the Dallas Ft.Worth area.  Our future plans are to provide temporary/transitional housing and long term housing for our residence.  As part of us giving back to them, they will learn the skills needed to interview and obtain a employment, obtain their G.E.D., learn life bugeting skills, and simply provide the needed time to gain their footing and enter into the world with a renewed confidence.  

 

Bare Bottom Ministry, Inc. is excited and ready to minister to the people of God in a loving and accepting environment.
