Rev Ray Redlich and his wife Judy are giving their lives to serve the homeless, poor, and disabled.
Ray is Vice President of New Life Evangelistic Center in inner-city St. Louis, Mo. Judy Redlich … who I describe as blind with great vision … is overseer of Joni and Friends ministry to the disabled in the St. Louis region.
Hear the fine man Ray Redlich express his great concerns regarding the harassing efforts of Mayor Francis Slay and other St. Louis officials to close down NLEC’s 40-year ministry to the poor and homeless.
The Center shelters around 200 people per night … for years. I understand it is the only facility in the region that allows people … such as battered women and abused children of all races … to come in for the protection of the Center …any time of the day and night … without any “red tape” or charges.
The Center is being distracted and having to spend thousands of dollars in resources for legal protection that could otherwise be spent on the needs of the poor.
NLEC is sometimes blamed for the public urination of the nearby homeless while … at the same time … St. Louis City Government will not give NLEC licenses to bring in “port-a-pottie” facilities to be used as such.
Channel 2 Television reporter Elliott Davis (famous for his years of “You Paid for it” TV segments) provides an enlightening assessment on the sad situation. See it for yourself by clicking on https://www.facebook.com/ElliottDavisTV/videos/1640630426237908/
