Metroplex Feeding and Ministry Outreach

Every Tuesday night much of the membership of Eagle's Nest Cathedral go to the streets for several hours, taking 15-18 huge folding tables, hot turkeys, sandwiches, salad, and vegetables to feed scores of homeless and underprivileged.

Over a dozen times, Rev., and Mrs. Grant, themselves, have been seen taking off their own coats in freezing weather, and giving them to a homeless person.

Recently, on the Tuesday before Christmas, Brenda Grant had her vision of giving a heavy-duty back-pack to 200 homeless people fulfilled. Inside each back-pack (which each person can use for a pillow and protection of their belongings from thieves), she placed a 2-pound canned ham, a quart of Evian water, a knit hat, a pair of fur-lined, leather gloves, shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, shampoo, a razor, shaving lather, a plastic raincoat, and many other things.

Uniquely, Eagle's Nest Cathedral will not allow the homeless people to line up and wait for their food. Rev. Grant and the church insist on "serving" the underprivileged, setting up tables and chairs, and then bringing as many platefuls of food to them that they desire. Rev. Grant and his associate ministers can been seen singing and ministering to the men and women, helping them regain their dignity and trust in God.

City leaders have lauded the membership of Eagle's Nest Cathedral for their caring and love. As Pastor Grant says, "After all, Jesus Himself was a street-preacher."
