Campmeeting Tabernacle Church located at 161 Beethoven in San Antonio picks up food from Daily Bread Ministries
and distributes it every Tuesday & Thursday. Over 6 years ago, Pastor Mike Dabbs started this outreach that provides food to
about 500 people a month. According to Paster Dabbs, during the summer, the kids do not receive school meals and their need for
food is greater. They have several 70+ year-old couples whose income does not meet all their food needs. Also, they have
several single mothers who receive diapers supplied by Daily Bread Ministries. Mike said the people who he provides food are
located close to his church. He tries to obtain addresses and phone numbers, so he can stay in contact with them to provide
further assistance and support. Those with large families, he provides additional supplies for back-to-school and on Thanksgiving,
Christmas, and Easter to include turkeys, chickens, and other gifts. Mike says this ministry is on going and he lives on the
property where people in need can knock at his door anytime of the day or night.

At Daily Bread Ministries loading dock on Saturday March 20th, Pastor Jimmy Robles of Last Chance Ministries and his cast of 47
put on a drama that showed how much God loves us, and how He is always there for us no matter what we have done.
We were also blessed to have two bands - "Nissi"
www.nissimusic.org and "Exodo" www.exodoband.com - lead us in dynamic worship and praise. That Saturday was one
of the coldest of the month, but many people came anyway.
Channel 41, "Univision" came out with their camaras and interviewed Pastor Jimmy and some of the cast members.
More than 200 people joined us for a time of fellowship and evangelism. At the end of the drama there wasn't a dry eye in
the audience. Pastor Jimmy gave an altar call, and the entire front of the stage was filled with people praying and crying
out to God. Pastor Jimmy and his cast plans on performing this same drama each month of this year in different locations
around the city. They have already performed this drama over 40 times, with hundreds receiving Christ as their Savior.

The First Annual Daily Bread Ministries Golf Tournament was awesome. The tournament raised over ten thousand dollars.
Thank you for our sponsors: Jim McKissick (Hole In One Sponsor) $500.00, Helotes Bridge Storage (Longest Drive Sponsor) $500.00,
Deloitte (Golf Cart Sponsor) $1,500.00, Frost Bank (Beverage Cart Sponsor) $750.00, and Accenture (Closest To The Pin Sponsor) $500.00.
Thank you to Ben E. Keith Foods, RK Group, and Sysco Foods for all the food, catering and snacks.
The following
companies had teams of four: Combs Produce, Delta Produce, Remax Investment, Lott Marketing, FSI Brokerage, Key Impact, Eddy's Meat,
Hank's Brokerage, River City Produce, Banana Distribution, Lemon's/Tyson, Deloitte, Accenture, Southwest Exteriors, Oak Hills Church,
River City Community Church, Grace Community Church, Garet Grosenbacher Custom Homes, and there were many individuals who made up
teams of four and we are very grateful to everyone who participated. Without them the Golf Tournament would not have been a success.
The funds raised helped us purchase raw food product from Kids Against Hunger, which will produce over 40,000 meals. These meals will
be used in San Antonio, Mexico, and Haiti. With one in four children going to bed hungry in San Antonio, we have a huge
challenge. For every dollar given to DBM, we are able to give away $20 worth of food. Together, we can make a difference in our city, and
around the world.
