Isaiah 58 - In His Service
We can do more. We can do better.
My heart’s desire is to fill the gaps in social services. The focus of Isaiah’s is to introduce people to Jesus and meet needs other ministries and/or agencies can’t or won’t help with, like paying legal fees, hospital and doctor’s bills, paying deposits for utilities and housing, getting folks out of debt, making car and insurance payments, etc.
