 On
the 31st of March 2012, God moved us to yet another level in
our ministry. It was the birth of the calling and ministry
that God had placed in Veron’s heart more than a year ago.
It is called HOPE STREET MINISTRY (HELPING OTHER PEOPLE EXCEL). It's main purpose is to reach out to the homeless people on the
streets of Kuala
Lumpur. God was very clear in that
one voice as He gave us the location that we were meant to
be in...at the centre of town near Kota Raya. Our main aim
is to not only provide food for the homeless people around
that area but more than anything else, to give them Christ.
 It now been more that a year
since we began to befriend people on the streets of
KL. We have met many people from different walks of
life and all with their fair share of troubles and
difficulties. We started with 50 food packets and to
date it has increased to 90 packets. We now have a
number of people who volunteer to help us on
alternate Saturdays. Each time we meet, we start by
handing out food at 10am to the large group of
people who would have started lining up from 9.30am.
On alternate months, we also hand out clothes to all
those who come.

The interesting part begins after the food has been
distributed. As people sit around and have their
breakfast, we take the time to walk around and get
to know them personally. Through the entire year, we
have made many new friends. We have had the
opportunity to journey with them, pour hope into
their lives and pray for them.
What may seems like just a few minutes of
conversation to many, but when when the right words
are spoken, it can bring tremendous changes to the
lives of people.

 We
have also had the opportunity to hand out bibles as many
have been hungering for God and His Word. We thank God for
all that we have been able to do for the past year and we do
believe that as the ministry grows, more will be touched and
ministered to. More info and photos can be seen at

 We
are always open to assistance in the form of
finance, food, clothes and volunteers. If you have a
heart for those on the streets who sometimes have no
one to talk to, then do contact us
