Hello!

About Us

Recovering Sinners in a not-for-profit ministry that was founded in 2023 to help get God’s Word out into the communities. The ministry goal is to help plant seeds in peoples hearts that may lead them to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Our motto “…feeding the people.” is in reference to feeding peoples body and soul. We are so blessed and thankful to the Lord our God for allowing us the ability to have this ministry and to help build His Kingdom.

What do we do?

Our ministry is set up in a public place (with permits) and we serve the public free hamburgers, chips and cold drinks. We give away free Bibles, have a prayer box (for those who are timid or want to remain anonymous), and worship music. At times, when available, we also have a speaker(s) to give a mini sermon or testimony. 

How are we funded?

Recovering Sinners is fully funded by donations. This is monetary as well as goods donated for upcoming events. We have been blessed enough to receive donations and/or have been able to privately fund all events. Coming soon, we will also be selling Recovering Sinners T-shirts to help raise funds for future events, cover permit costs and to eventually put our ministry in 501(c)(3) status.

How can you volunteer?

We are grateful to our volunteers at every event! Volunteer opportunities are needed in a variety of ways including (but not limited to): set up/break down, servers, prayer warriors, grill chefs, speakers, etc. Please note that servers, grill chefs or anyone handling food will need to have a food handlers certificate/card. This is an average cost of $7-12 that lasts 2 years. This is required by the city when handling food. If you would like to volunteer, please feel free to reach out to us with the event you are available, and we will reach out to you with more information.

How can you donate?

Recovering Sinners is fully funded by donations. Monetary donations can be given in person by being placed in the locked prayer box, or you can make an online donation by Cash App, Venmo or Zelle. Goods donations can be donated at any time. If local (McKinney, TX), we can pick it up at your designated location, or it can be dropped off at any event. Please see the list of goods that are needed at every event below. Every donation is greatly appreciated and will be used to help serve our communities. 

Are there any other plans for Recovering Sinners?

Absolutely! Eventually, if it is God’s Will and, in His timing, we hope to have a mobile food pantry and clothing closet. We pray to be able to give to the community in other ways, spreading God’s love through giving to those who need it.

How can you partner with Recovering Sinners?

We love that you want to get out there and spread the Word! If you are a church, business or organization and would like to help build God’s wonderful Kingdom, praise God! Though you do not need us or our ministry to spread the Word, we would love to partner with you and get an event started! We encourage everyone to spread the love of Jesus in any way they are able! Be that through a partnered event with Recovering Sinners, having your own event, or simply asking “how can I pray for you today” when you see someone down. Let’s help make God’s Kingdom crowded!
