Over the years, The Bridge Ministry’s path has crossed with many individuals who have suffered catastrophic events in their lives. One such person was a gunner in the Vietnam war who has turned to alcohol because of the guilt he feels for his actions during his military service. We see God working in the lives of these individuals weekly and ask that you lift them up in your prayers. We also ask that you remember the “Candy House” in Haiti which feeds and educates 65 children. Lastly, we ask that you continue to pray for each Tuesday night under the Bridge as the need grows and our crowd multiplies.
“Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” (Galatians 6:2, NIV)
Several churches and groups have come forward this year to sponsor the food for a Tuesday and we are so grateful! Each Tuesday it costs us $1,500.00-$1,800.00 to supply our friends with groceries and around $2,500.00 to feed them a hot meal. If your church would like to sponsor the food for an evening, either through cooking the meal or giving a monetary donation to cover a portion of the cost, please contact our office.
“If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then shall your light rise in the darkness and your gloom be as the noonday.” (Isaiah 58:10, ESV)
Last year was the largest Christmas service we had to date and it is all because of you and your heart for the less fortunate! This Christmas we are planning for even larger crowds and more gifts to give to our friends than ever before. Many churches are collecting hats, gloves, scarves, tents, and coats to give away this year for Christmas and we are so excited to say that everyone will be getting a sleeping bag as well! One need that has not been met as of yet is our growing need for children’s toys. We are asking all of our volunteers and churches to please donate new toys for Christmas so each child under the Bridge can have a special gift. Toys for all ages are needed and you can send them to or drop them at 533 Brick Church Park Drive, Nashville, TN 37207.
