Homeless Outreach
Ministry
Pastor Leon
Pace and his wife, Sheila work together as our Homeless
Outreach Ministers. Together in the Lord, they are
committed to reaching out to Philadelphia's homeless to
spread the Word of the Lord and to minister to
individuals. Every Sunday their driver picks them
up and brings them to the church for services and a shower.
They are given bath supplies and a change of clothes,
too.
Open
Hand Transitional Housing
The actual structure of the facility is a three story
building, which affords a huge range of space to cover
several projects and needs at one time. Word of
Deliverance Fellowship Ministries is not a rehab, it is
the next step after rehab and the step before living
totally independently and may not be suitable for
everyone. Word of Deliverance Fellowship Ministries,
under the direction of Pastors Leon and Sheila Pace, is
committed to helping residents with similar backgrounds
as themselves. If you need such a ministry, we are here
to help.
Community Service
Each resident will be given the opportunity to reach out
to the community in service when we give out emergency
food. This serves as a two-fold benefit. It helps
individuals in need and affords our residents the
opportunity to give back to society as part of their
healing process.
Food Programs
Our food programs consist of The Emergency Food Program,
Superfood Cupboard, Information on Healthy Eating,
Information on Healthy Cooking, Nutritional Information,
and Further Educational Classes.
Good Work Habit Promotion & Development
We afford the resident the opportunity to develop good
work habits and assist them in working with people from
all walks of life which, also enables the individual the
opportunity to learn first-hand knowledge of what
ministry is all about. There is always something to do
and the rewards greatly benefit the resident. What they
put into it is directly proportional to what benefits
they receive. Each potential resident will determine his
needs and goals based on his personal history and view
of himself. Staff will assist resident in identifying
these needs and goals based on information given.
Neighborhood Orientation
Each resident is given a small tour of the city upon the
their second day in the house. This familiarizes them
with the transit system, Health Clinic, library,
Laundromat, and hospitals in the immediate area.
Case Management
Help is provided to assist them in obtaining documents
necessary for employment. Calls are made to job
referrals and help is given to set up interviews. An
assessment is made by us on whether they are a good fit
for the job being sought.
On Site Church
Attached to our building is a small church led by Pastor
Leon Pace. We hold services every Sunday at 11:30. It is
open to the public. We welcome all faiths. Our services
are based on the Word of Christ as the foundation for
expository teaching. You are invited to come and share a
true worship experience where you will be touched by the
Spirit of God.
Chaste Women of God
Our mission is to empower individual women to regain
control of their lives after a time of devastation
through prayer and teaching; and to allow the love of
God to heal through each session, as the individual
begins to walk in newness of life.
