Angels in Disguise!

Dear SoupFriends,

Do you believe in Angels? I do!

Since I started the SoupMobile back in 2003 I have been blessed to meet many earth Angels. These Angels are men and women who have kind hearts and giving spirits. Angels who care about helping the ones Jesus called, 'the least of these.' Angels who back up their caring with concrete action.

This week I want to tell you about a special group of Angels. They own and run a local Dallas web company called WorryFreeDesign (WFD). Their names are Diana, Budi and Suyadi. Three earthly Angels who are a blessing not only to the SoupMobile but to their fellowman.

About 18 months ago they approached me and asked if we needed help with the SoupMobile web site. I told them we did and that I had been praying for someone to come in and revamp and maintain our web site. When I asked them what the charge would be for their services they responded by saying, 'We believe in what you are doing to help the homeless and any services we provide to you will be at no charge.' They have been true to their word and have made the SoupMobile web site a sight to behold. Want proof? Simply go to http://www.soupmobile.org/ and see what a fabulous job they have done.

WorryFreeDesign does more than just website design. They also do web hosting, internet marketing, domain name registration, programming & support and logo design. Do you need web help? Well look no further. WFD does it all. Diana, Budi and Suyadi aren't just top notch professionals running one of the top web firms in the country, but they truly have hearts of gold.

Of course if you hire WFD they won't be working for free like they do for the SoupMobile, but they will give you a price that is not only fair but extremely competitive. You can contact them and check out their web site at:

Tell them the SoupMan sent you!

Mayor Tom Leppert to Attend SoupMobile's 5th Annual Christmas Angel Project

Dear SoupFriends,

The SoupMan is pleased to announce that Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert will be attending the SoupMobile's 5th Annual Christmas Angel Project this year. The SoupMan and his Fabulous SoupTeam will be taking 500 homeless men and women right off the streets of Dallas and putting them up at the downtown Dallas Hyatt Regency Hotel for Christmas. Yes THE Hyatt Regency. All of our guests will receive new clothes, fabulous gifts, lots of love and we will hold a huge banquet in their honor. Most important is that when they wake up on Christmas morning it will be in a warm safe bed at the Hyatt---not in a cardboard box under some bridge.

Please note that they Mayor will not just be attending as a spectator. He will be one of our FAB 50 Maitre'D servers. Yes you heard it right. We have a Mayor who is not afraid to roll up his sleeves and serve the ones Jesus called the least of these. Here are some more details about the FAB 50.

The Fab 50—Maitre'D's
December 24th 12:30PM to 2:30PM
Marsalis Ballroom—Hyatt Regency

Jesus humbly served those in need. He even washed their feet. The SoupMan is offering 50 men and women the privilege of serving as Maitre'D's for the Homeless Banquet at the Soupmobiles 5th Annual Christmas Angel Project. There will be 50 tables set up in the Marsalis Ballroom with ten homeless guests at each table. As Maitre'D's you will be responsible for your special table. You will be expected to greet your 10 homeless guests, take their food orders, serve their food and make them feel like Kings & Queens. Assisting you will be a support staff of runners and servers. Unlike regular banquets where you are the guest of honor and you eat the fancy food, at our banquet you will not get anything to eat and you will be the one doing the serving---just like Jesus.

The SoupMan invites you to come and join with the Mayor as he serves our homeless men and women. It will be the best Christmas gift you will ever give and when you see the smiles on the faces of the homeless and the tears in their eyes---it will be the best Christmas gift you ever receive.


This will be a formal dress experience. All male Maitre'D's will wear Tuxedos and all female Maitre'D's will wear their best formal gowns.

The cost to you for the honor and privilege of serving as Maitre'D's is a $1,000 donation to the SoupMobile. This volunteer opportunity is limited to the first 50 sign ups. Like Jesus, you will spend this Christmas serving the ones Jesus called the 'least of these.'

May the Lord bless and keep you all.

Christmas Angel Project---We Have Lift Off!!!

Dear SoupFriends,

I'm pleased to announce that the Christmas Angel Project link on our website went live on Nov. 1st. Christmas is only eight weeks away and this is your chance to sign up to volunteer for a magical event.

It's the SoupMobile's 5th Annual Christmas Angel Project. The SoupMan and his fabulous SoupTeam are taking 500 homeless men and women right off the streets of Dallas and putting them up at the downtown Dallas Hyatt Regency Hotel for Christmas. Yes---THE HYATT REGENCY!

2,000 years ago there was NO room at the inn for the one we call baby Jesus. With your help we will make sure there is room at the inn for 500 of the ones Jesus called the 'least of these.' Our homeless guests will all receive new clothes, fabulous gifts, lots of love and a huge banquet in their honor. Most important is that when they wake up on Christmas morning it will be in a warm safe bed at the Hyatt---not in a cardboard box under some bridge.

Last year we had over 700 volunteers sign up and come to the Hyatt to help with the event. This year we estimate there will be over 1,000 volunteers. Its first come first serve and we will close off the volunteer slots as they fill up. The SoupMan makes this promise to you. If you come and volunteer at the Hyatt this Christmas it will be the best Christmas gift you ever give, and when you see the smiles on the faces of the homeless and the tears in their eyes, it will be the best Christmas gift you will ever receive.

Come to the Hyatt this Christmas. Join with the SoupMan and his fabulous SoupTeam and over 1,000 volunteers for a magical Christmas. For more details go to our website: www.soupmobile.org

May the Lord bless you all.
