Project Homeless Connect event Friday, March 23rd, 2012 - give every homeless guest the opportunity for a personal one-on-one volunteer experience.

Project Homeless Connect is the Homeless Services Network’s outreach to the homeless in Seminole, Orange, and Osceola Counties. It is a one day event offering more than 50 services that are critically needed by homeless people in one convenient location.

Services offered included emergency shelter and transitional housing, mental health and substance abuse services, employment resources, food stamp assistance, Florida ID cards and birth certificates, legal services, medical care, showers, haircuts, food, clothing and much more.

The 6th annual Project Homeless Connect was located in Downtown Orlando on Friday, March 23, 2012. The location was at the First Baptist Church of Orlando. Transportation was provided to and from the event. In 2010, Project Homeless Connect served over 1,000 clients. They expect to serve the same this year.

The missionaries were part of the Project Homeless Connect and provided volunteer service for this event. We had about 50 missionaries participate for 7 hours.

What I needed was clothing, work shoes, a good haircut, and referral for a private gynecologist cause I have ovarian cysts which have gotten worse, and need a colonosp., and i need bridges, dentures for my teeth. I also have been waiting a long time for my eyeglasses from this clinic. No one has given me any referrals, or provided me with an oppt. I needed a job, and no one was nice enough to me to give me a referral. Most of all, I needed acceptance, and emotional support, and all I got was rejection!!! No one has given me an opportunity. I dont understand why- when I have brain damage. Well, Im a christian, and was baptized along time ago. If you want to help, Id greatly appreciate it. pls. email me at seekgoodfriends@yahoo.com It would be a miracle if someone did write and offer to assist someone that is vulnerable, and in need.

mormon faith it not a true faith. The book was made up by a man that was deceived by satan. Best advice I can give you is get a regular niv bible and go to a non demonational church, and get baptized, before it is too late. You dont want to end up in hell for eternity!!! Learn to Pray to the right God. Right now, you are all bowing down to satan!!! I will pray for you!!!!

FLORIDA ORLANDO MISSION HISTORY

Florida has a deep Mormon heritage, going back as far as 1843. Traveling elders were occasionally sent into Florida until the Florida conference was officially organized November 1, 1895, which conference was within the Southern States Mission. In 1937, the first chapel in central Florida was built in Orlando. In 1950, the church established what is now officially called Deseret Cattle and Citrus Ranch in Osceola County, southeast of Orlando. Today the Church owns 316,000 acres covering three counties, making it the largest cattle ranch in Florida. Orlando was the second Florida stake, and was organized on February 23, 1958.

On November 1, 1960 the Florida Mission was created out of the Southern States Mission. This was the fist mission for the State of Florida. The original Florida mission was divided into the Florida South Mission July 1, 1971, then later into the Ft. Lauderdale Mission (June 1974); the Tampa Mission being created in 1976, and the Jacksonville Mission in July of 1987.

The Florida Orlando Mission is now graced to have within its boundaries the Church Ranch and the first temple of the church in Florida, the Orlando Temple.
