Trick-or-Treaters and HOPE

Our church, along with 3 others, have just opened H.O.P.E. (House of Prayer for Everyone) in mid-town Ruidoso. It is going to be a really great facility fashioned after the International House of Prayer in Kansas City. Today the merchants in midtown Ruidoso sponsored trick-or-treating for all the local kids, so HOPE set up the mobile cooking station and gave away free hot dogs and hot chocolate, along with the obligatory candy. I have a few pictures, but when things got really, really busy, no one had time to take pictures. Approximately 750 hot dogs and cups of chocolate were given away, and I can't tell you how much candy! The temperature was in the 30s with a fairly strong wind, so the warm food was very welcomed by the cold families. Here are the few pictures we did manage to get. The last one is Linda and I freezing our behinds off handing out candy!
