06/29/2021 Thank You!

Thank you to all of the volunteers who helped to serve our community during the heat wave that hit Shelton, WA June 26th-28th! It is because of your compassion that the Mason County Warming Center successfully provided an indoor cooling place and meals for some of our most at risk neighbors. Additionally, the abundance of food that came in made it possible for the center to be open all three days from 9am-6pm!

06/25/2021 Sobriety for His Glory!

Sobriety for His Glory! Praise God! We got a surprise visit from Mark at the Friday, June 25th Feed.

He specifically valued his time with us at our previous Mon Ministry time at the Shelton Laundry Mat. Mark has been experiencing life sober for 1 1/2 yrs now due to continued help through the drug court program and Shelton’s new transitional men’s house. Crazy Love Ministries thanks everyone whose efforts have contributed towards Mark’s continued help! He is anticipating his continued progression in forward movement will be in approximately three months when he is expected to receive full custody of his daughter back. He will have enough money saved to get housing for the two of them. We are sooooo grateful to God for allowing us the opportunity to know and love Mark! What an amazing evening we had in Shelton, WA!

5/7/2021 Sobriety for His Glory!

Nathan Petty

It’s May 7, 2021 and with God being my #1 and my family my #2, I’m celebrating three years clean. Thank you to everyone who continues encouraging me to be the man God created me to be vs who Satan and drugs tried to turn me into.

Some days it’s still hard to believe God would save someone like me and bless me in all the ways he has, but He never gave up on me!

I’m proof of my wife’s most love-filled message, Drugs are not of God…. For many reasons! The biggest reason, HE IS LOVE! He loves us way too much to want death and destruction to overtake us.

We sincerely hope more people come to experience life abundantly and eternally through Jesus Christ. He is the only way! In Him the healing and freedom you are searching for can be found.

If you are struggling and need support from an amazing group of over comers, contact us- God is here for you and so are we!

4/27/2021 CLM Men's Retreat

Thankful for our ministry men who love God and serve beside us! A few of them got to enjoy beautiful WA weather, lunch fellowship, and prayer time together last weekend. It’s an amazing thing- how God continues bringing together and growing His Crazy Love Ministry team.

Present: Nathan Petty, Sven Munson, Matt Crichton, Dan Bryan, Al Blumberg, Caleb Sessoms

Absent: Carlton Sessoms , David Hockaday, Sam Loomis, William Jensen, Bob Wilkowski and James Burnett. Zach Sessoms was present for part 2 after taking a morning shift at the center

Thank you, to each one of you, for investing the time it takes to grow in who God has created you to be and your leadership roles! The church, your families, and our community appreciate you!

03/15/2021 City of Shelton, Thank you!

We discovered this winter there is need for additional over-night shelter during cold temperatures in Shelton, WA when Community Life Line is at capacity and for the individuals who are legally no longer allowed at the facility.

It is in great appreciation, that the Crazy Love Ministries Team thanks the City of Shelton! Who also recognized this need and allowed the Mason County Warming Center to open for a few nights during the month of Feb.

We witnessed extremely positive results in opening the center for a few nights. It was much bigger than people avoiding the cold temps. We helped one individual avoid full diagnoses of trench foot. Four men chose to begin their first 5 day stretch of sobriety with us. Three of whom are continuing to receive daily counsel and peer support from our team and other local recovery programs . One of whom turned himself in to the jail to take care of things he’d been avoiding.

Let us never underestimate how great the return is when we are willing to take simple measures to love and care for others!

01/19/2021 Annual Sponsor Letter

Greetings!

On behalf of Crazy Love Ministries, I’d like to thank all of our 2020 sponsors! It is through so many giving and generous hearts that God was not only able to expand the services offered through this ministry in 2020, finances also remained in the black! Our team members and those we serve remained so incredibly blessed despite the fact that Covid19 has created economic hardship for our Shelton Community.

WHAT GOD HAS DONE

On March 21, 2020 the Mason County Warming Center opened its doors to the public. The two weekly meals Crazy Love Ministries was serving to those in need since 2017 increased to five. Before winter, the center successfully launched a sleeping bag exchange for the homeless. By Dec. 31, 2020 services offered through the center (which include warm meals, laundry services, courtesy internet, computer and phone services, and clothing) had been provided to 243 individuals in our community. Some who were in temporary need and some who continue receiving support on a regular basis.

We celebrated many more victories in the lives of those we serviced in 2020! Four of our street brothers and a sister with two children have successfully been blessed since the center’s opening with more stable housing. Two brothers are renting rooms and one is renting a trailer space.

The fourth brother is a veteran of our county. The mountains of applications and paperwork he had to complete did not hinder his persistence! He woke up every morning from under a leaking truck canopy, had breakfast at the Warming Center and remained diligent to make his daily stop-ins at the local VA hall and other Shelton housing authorities/agencies, for over three months.

Good news didn’t come in the form we all thought it would as we gathered praying for him morning after morning. It was due to his determination and sincerity of heart that God changed the heart of another who finally offered him a spot to pitch a tent or park his truck on their property.

He has full use of the kitchen and restroom facilities in the main house on the property where he now resides. He will have enough money saved by spring to upgrade to a trailer. He says, “Waking up in the morning and being able to warm up sitting next to a woodstove while my coffee is brewing is the best part of life right now. Daily showers, all of it, a miracle from God.”

A mother and her two daughters who spent weekends at the center transitioned just before Christmas into a Cross Roads Housing apartment. Some of our team members took additional steps to repair her vehicle and bless the three of them with presents to wake up to on Christmas morning.

The week of Thanksgiving we celebrated victory over addiction with an individual who has been receiving services on and off from Crazy Love Ministries since 2017. He completed a thirty-day impatient treatment program. He remains sober and off the streets. His family was able to provide him with shelter until there is a vacancy in a men’s clean and sober housing program.

We are continuing to walk along side many who are transitioning in and out of inpatient and intensive outpatient programs. Our goal is to remain as readily available as possible to those we’ve built relationships with however they need us to be.

God also directly blessed our team members in very miraculous ways during 2020. Some lost their paying jobs while others pushed on unsuccessfully, in their continued search for employment. However, for those of us serving Jesus vs pay checks our faith has grown so greatly! He has come through in providing for all of our daily needs and additionally with free housing opportunities and low cost-free vehicles when they became necessary!

WHAT IS COMING IN 2021

The Mason County Warming Center is expected to have a public shower by spring of 2021. The center will also be expanding into the old Pine Tree Restaurant building. Even though we do not have dates determined on the progression of this expansion, two immediate goals are to have space for a much larger clothing bank and lockers for our homeless.

To date, Crazy Love Ministries has remained standing faithful in our commitment to not receive any federal funding or major grant monies. We do this to ensure only God receives the glory for what He’s doing for those in need in Shelton, WA.

We cannot thank you enough for your contributions and prayers- it is you; He is working through! Together, through our belief in Christ Jesus, all things are being made possible in the lives of our neighbors!

Sincerely,

Wendy Petty

Executive Director

New Year's Eve 2020

Beautiful last day of 2020! We were blessed at the center with a visit from our sister, Audrey. Another mighty warrior living a life of sobriety! She has become an inspiration to all of us. Crazy Love is looking forward to what God has prepared for us in 2021.

Christmas 2020

Thank you again to everyone who sponsored Christmas gift packages this year and contributed towards our 4th year of Christmas giving in Shelton, WA! 38 personalized packages and an additional 33 men’s/women’s care packages were give out at the Mason County Warming Center. Additionally, everyone was blessed with a biscuits & gravy meal on the 24th and a ham & eggs meal on the 25th. Go God!

09/04/2020 Public Update

VOLUNTEERS/DONATIONS NEEDED

The Mason County Warming Center, located at 110 S. First St in Shelton, WA is hosted by Crazy Love Ministries, a local WA non-profit. It opened its doors to the homeless and low-income families of the Shelton area in March of 2020. Breakfast is offered three times a week and lunch on Sundays. Additional offerings include sack lunches, beverages to go, community family food boxes, and the distribution of food to other local non-profits. Clothing, toiletries, camping supplies and other items are also provided when available. Laundry services are available by sign-up and on a first come first serve basis.

An immediate goal of the warming center is to attain funding that would make available a courtesy computer, phone and internet services. Many of our patrons need to keep in touch with DSHS, DOL, SSI, DOC, and to conduct job searches during a time in which COVID-19 has closed down other facilities’ access to these vital services. Another current goal is to have the hours of operation at the center expanded to seven days a week before the winter cold comes. There are not enough volunteers or financial resources to do so at this time.

A future goal is to provide more immediate housing support. It is important for individuals to be able to successfully enter into a stable environment to further the healing and growth that often times needs to take place in their lives.

The Crazy Love Ministries team has witnessed success in the lives of those we service through offering love, encouragement, prayer, guidance and continued support as needed. We are committed to inspire, and instill in others the desire to fulfill their potential in life with a sense of dignity, belonging and purpose. There is no investment more worthy than to help better the life of another neighbor. Every changed life is a testimony that inspires change in others.

We are making a difference in our community and so can you!

Please send donations to Crazy Love Ministries,

PO Box 2042, Shelton, WA 98584

Or online through facebook and crazyloveministries.org

Volunteers can contact Wendy Petty or Dan Bryan

08/31/2020 A Day of Celebration!

Yay! Justin Christensen has reached a milestone of 16 months sober from methamphetamines today!! Justin has been a resident of Shelton, WA since 2015 and started receiving services from Crazy Love Ministries in 2017.

Despite the fact that Covid19 caused him to lose his job in April he was successful in transitioning from clean and sober housing into his own place in May, where he continues to reside today.

Justin will be welcoming a baby girl, Ellie, into the world in September and will also be celebrating his 32nd birthday, clean and sober!

Justin has become a very special part of our family. He continues staying in contact with us by dropping off donations at the Mason County Warming Center. Giving back by finding ways to help others who are struggling in our Shelton community is important to him. We are so proud of him!

“The most meaningful parts of my recovery have been the opportunity to become the person who I had myself convinced I didn’t have the ability to become, being able to make it up to my family for years of absence, and now painting over the expectations that my actions created in the eyes of all my loved ones.

Crazy Love has always been there, ready to help me if I ever asked for it, if I needed someone to talk to (even when I was in my darkest days), and never gave up hope that I could turn over a new leaf.”

Gifts and donations for his new baby girl are being collected for Justin Christensen. You can donate $ now through this site with a note, “For Justin” or drop something off at the Mason County Warming Center in September, 110 S. First St, Tues, Thur, Sat 9am-12pm.

05/06/2020 Thank you from, Executive Director Wendy Petty

Thank you to God and our sponsors, for enabling Crazy Love Ministries to be entering into its 4th year of outreach services to those in need in Shelton, WA!

Due to Covid19 restrictions Crazy Love Ministries wasn’t able to hold our annual public Cinco De Mayo Anniversary Street Feed this year, but there are still testimonies to be shared! Following is one of the many that reflects God’s glory and greatness.

Her name is Audrey! I first met her in March of 2017. It was the very first night a couple of us hit the streets in down town Shelton, WA to hand out food in effort to begin meeting those who made up the local Street Family.

Audrey was one of the first five people we served and met that evening. I remember the faces of those first five as though it was only yesterday. My first impression was that she was beautiful! And heavily burdened.

She pulled up on her bike. She was hesitant in receiving help from anyone to relieve her of some of the heavy bags dangling from her bike. I noticed how perfectly the bags were balancing her, indicating to me she’d grown very familiar to lugging bags around.

Out of respect for her hesitancy, we fell back and watched her handle her bags on her own. I was instantly able to recognize God had created her with a strong sense of determination.

Audrey reminded me so much of who I used to be; a young girl trying to balance the weights of life all on her own. I have never stopped praying for her. It took months for Audrey to begin trusting we were there for her and we expected nothing in return from her. Having the opportunity to simply know her and love her was all that mattered to us.

Once she finally started allowing us to help her It was not always easy to witness some of the things she was walking through. One of the most heart breaking, but trust building times in my relationship with God, was a night when I wrapped a blanket around her body as she laid resting in a cold parking lot…..

Our ministry team was not going to give up on her! I was not going to cease believing that the same God who had saved me would also save her! I desperately prayed over her that night for Him to care for her in the ways only He could. I had to trust He would. And He did!

Audrey will be celebrating two years of sobriety from methamphetamines on Jun 1st. God has restored her relationships with her children and family. She has an amazing new home!

As with me, Audrey’s willingness to finally hear God and learn from Him has led her to the love and rest He has always desired for her to know. She admits it still gets difficult, but I’m so thankful that she is experiencing true freedom.

Sadly, not every outreach story I’ve been a part of has ended in victory, according to what I consider victory to be. We’ve lost a couple of our Street Family members along the way. We remain trusting that God hasn’t lost hold of them, but it’s Audrey’s story along with many others that keep me encouraged to keep doing what Crazy Love Ministries is doing.

No one should ever be given up on! With Christ Jesus ALL things are possible!
