Thanks.....be to God


Amherst Emergency Shelter is now over 1 week old and it gets better everyday as God pours out His blessings. I am grateful to our Staff and Volunteers for their dedication to the work of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you Vita Nova and First Baptist churches. Thank you Amherst for allowing Milestone to opportunity to help those in need.


Jesus promises us His peace and that is exactly what we experience every night at the shelter. Miracles have already begun as we watch broken lives being restored.


Please keep us in prayer as we plow new ground for the Kingdom.

Joy of the Lord in Amherst Shelter



The Amherst Emergency Shelter is open. Praise God!


Tonight is the 3rd night of a 6 month ministry and I am glad to report that God is exceeding expectations.........of course. By His grace every night has been a night of rest and peace. This peace is a peace that the world cannot understand. Not peace that the world gives, but the peace of Jesus....thank you Holy Spirit.

God has handpicked a wonderful team made up of dedicated loving staff and volunteers.
The First Baptist Church is providing the Holy Ground that transforms every night into an emergency shelter from 9:00 PM to 8:00 AM; thank you Pastor Greg and Jerry. Vita Nova church provides Godly wisdom and a Spirit filled staff; thank you Pastor Nate and Eric.

To all of the loving staff that have a burden for Gods struggling children......thank you and may God bless you with an abundance of joy.
