Hello!
I am just trying to figure out how this works exactly so that when I offically go I will be ready to fill everyone in on my adventure! The trip to New York City Relief last week was absolutely amazing! I almost didn't come home! However, after being out there for a few days I am more excited than every before about the journey I am about to go on! The people that I am going to be working with were great and treated me like one of the family. The people of New York City whom I am there to serve are also incredible. I was able to see everything from hyperdermic needles laying around the sight where we parked the bus to a little boy smiling ear to ear because I was able to give him a pack of M&M's! The short trip there reminded me how thankful I should be for being raise in such a loving and giving family. It is very difficult to explain the conditions in which some of these people endure on a daily basis. I have never had to think about where I am going to get my next meal, sleep at night, or enough clothes to wear. It has made me think "Why do I only celebrate Thanksgiving only once a year?" I will upload some pictures as soon as I figure out how. I also want to thank you all for your support, because I could not do this with out you!

I moved to Anderson, SC on August 14, 2009. I became the Vice President of a ministry called The Lot Project, Inc. We feel that God has called us to serve the Least Of These that Jesus referes to in Matthew 25:40. We currently have 4 programs which include a bus ministry, which has given over 3,000 rides to church. HOPE which has given away over 3,000 meals, 13,000 donated clothing items, and over 2,500 volunteer hours. We also have street outreach, and a web-base prayer team.

About Me
- Andy Gibson

- I finished my M.B.A in January of 2008. After which I served at New York City Relief as they served the poor and oppressed in New York City. I also went to serve in Denver, Colorado as a leader for Kingdom Building Ministries, 16 Day Program. While there I met Matt Beasley. Matt and I had very little clue what God had instore for our lives, but continue to live through faith as we tackle starting a minstry called The Lot Project. The Lot Project's mission is to be a Christ centered organization that exists to provide help and hope for the poor, oppressed, and addicted. Through partnerships with other ministries, we seek to be a conduit between the needs on the street and resources in the community. We have 3 current programs which includes Prayer Teams, Street Out Reach, and a Transporation Minstry that takes over 100 at risk youth and adults to church every week. We hope to have a 8-10 bed emergency shelter up and running by the end of the year.
