Food Distribution
How It All Began….
Pastor Dave Lopez has imbedded this phrase within the core of our ministry “serving the Lord by serving the people”. In the early stages of ministry, he saw the importance and impact to community in presenting the reality of the Good News by restoring dignity to those in need. The project was appropriately named ‘Operation Dignity’. One aspect of this ‘dignity’ was in providing food assistance. This was accomplished by developing local food bank contacts and organizing a distribution team. As word spread, many local production crews passed the name along so that the quality and diversity of food excelled beyond our expectations. They have become a vital part of this portion of ministry and we truly appreciate them and all their efforts!
How It Has Developed….
Pastor Joyce and Richard Leavitt bring their own unique style of ministry to the table in developing the Food Distribution project into a Food Distribution Network! Their heart burns with the desire for renewed passion for God to be restored into man’s heart like a liquid fire infusing broken hearts with God’s love. Their ministry project, named ‘Liquid Fire’ portrays that desire. An aspect of this ministry continues by utilizing Food Distribution but the project development expands in new ways. The focus has shifted from a distribution team targeting local famillies to a distribution support team aimed at facillitating other minstries.
How We Operate….
Through Operation Dignity, benefit continues to reach local families and individuals, particularly ‘in recovery’, ’at risk’ or ‘in crisis’.
Through Liquid Fire, recovery homes, missions, training centers, ministries, and other special interest groups are served.
Read Our Food Distribution Mission….
As Liquid Fire, our network support team continues to grow to assist and facillitate development of programs, gatherings and events for a network of independent non-profit ministries — primarily California based. Along with other integral aspects of Liquid Fire, such as a coalition of musicians, poets, speakers, and media/tech support; food distribution is another expression of this project that undergirds and helps independent ministries fulfill their vision.
What We Are and Are Not…
We are a way to connect ministry projects together and take things to a higher level. It is not our goal to limit the vision — Our commission is to develop ministries in their calling with encouragement, support and connection so they can be infused with Liquid Fire that releases the compassionate response that compels us into the highways and byways to draw in the lame and the sick and the unlovely.
We are not a rescue mission. We are not looking for street corners to hand out food. We are not one of the vast number of ministries that provide assistance to homeless or a handful of families. There are many wonderful and successful ministries that do these things already! This is their call and their vision… and we are all blessed that these ministries and their dedicated staff have stood in the gap when others did not.
