The Relief Bus StreetCast: Recent Episodes
The Relief Bus
This podcast contains recordings of stories and teachings given by the urban missionaries from The Relief Bus (www.reliefbus.org). The Relief Bus exists to respond to God’s heart for the poor, homeless, addicted, and alienated by going directly to the streets of the metropolitan New York City area to offer food, compassion, and connections to resources that lead to life transformation. To accomplish this mission we partner together with volunteers and care-giving organizations.
