Build Your Own ZIP Kits

Be Ready To Extend Help In Jesus' Name!

On Sun, May 9 2010, Pastor Gregg shared about a family who kept bags of essential items in their car to hand out to homeless men and women as they encountered them around town. The following Sun, May 16, Pastor Gregg and the Missions Office at Houston's First invited people to assemble a so-called "ZIP Kit" as they left church at stations located around the building.
