Ministries of the National Christian Outreach

The Compassion Center Mission Kitchen:  The Compassion Center is located at 2616 Shelby Street on the near south side of Indianapolis. This work is responsible for feeding between 150 to 200 people of the streets seven days per week. In addition to feeding the poverty stricken, the mission holds daily devotional services and a weekly Sunday service featuring ministers of all Christian Faiths.  The Compassion Center is totally inter-denominational in it's approach, vowing to know nothing among the people but "Christ and Him Crucified".

This portion of the National Christian Outreach was born of the vision of Thomas Elliott as he saw those that were hungry on the streets of this city and made a vow to Christ that someday he would have a place where people could be fed without the need for money.  All are welcome at this Center, however, we reserve the right to refuse service to those that are high on drugs or alcohol.

Many of those that are served by this mission ultimately give their lives over to Christ , accepting Him into their hearts and begin new lives free from the bondage of their dependence on artificial stimuli.

The National Christian Outreach Reaching Out:  Throughout the years this vital ministry has not been satisfied to work only in the Indianapolis area, but has reached out into the Appalachian Mountains, Eastern Kentucky and various other places where natural disasters and poverty has reigned.  These places include Mexico, areas covered by flood waters from the Mississippi River, areas of Florida which have suffered from the effects of hurricanes and the Native American Reservations of the Dakotas.  During these missions of mercy we were able to provide relief with our gifts of food,   furniture, household items, blankets etc.  All this at no charge to the recipients.

News From the Laborer's Field

 Kirklin Wesleyan Has Benefit Sing

The Kirklin Wesleyan Church blessed the NCO with a benefit sing on Saturday March 01, 2008.  The spirit was superb and $250.00 was raised. 

We wish to thank the groups involved for their selfless giving of their time and resources.  The evening started with the Sanctuary Quartet from the Sanctuary Church in Indianapolis.  After this the Christianaires from Dunkirk, IN blessed those that attended.  Next the Dickersons from Kirkland were anointed greatly and sang beautifully.  Last the evening was capped off by the talents of Holly and Precious Spirit. A sincere thank you goes out to each of these good people.

We need more churches to plan benefits like this so we can not run so tight on our funds.  Either email me or call me at 317-889-0364 to set up a sing.  I will do all I can to be there.  My email address is dharness@nationalchristianoutreach.com.

Compassion Center

"The mission of this center is to feed the hungry and reach the lost for Jesus"

 We are continuing to operate the Compassion Center on a seven day per week basis so we are always on the lookout for some added volunteers to "shore up" the workforce.  If you have some free time one day per week and would like to help feed, serve and witness to the hundreds that come through the doors of the Center please call.  You can reach Bro. Dave or Sister Peggy either through the Compassion Center at 317-784-3786 or at our home 317- 889- 0364.  Or, should you wish, e-mail us at Click Here The hours are 10:00 AM to approximately 2:00 PM per day.

Stay tuned in to this web site for more news next month to be as exited as we are about what God is doing.

Christ in us is the hope of glory!

Lives without Christ have no hope.  Lives with Christ have eternal life. The scripture records that "if we have hope in this life only we are of all men most miserable.  Millions of people literally, live daily with their only hope being in the lives they are living.

When a man, woman or child comes to accept the Lord into their lives, they open a whole new dimension of hope.  Hope in the future, hope in eternity and most of they have hope that surpasses anything this world has to offer.

What one of us has not known what it is like to go to bed at night Christless.  When we are without him, we are floating aimlessly upon the sea of life.  We are tossed to and fro by the everyday problems we face.  When he abides within us, however, we have peace and a place to turn to in time of trouble.  Why not give your heart to the master today?  You have nothing to lose and eternity to gain.
