Leadership

Joey Gibson
Vice President

I started as a volunteer with my soon-to-be-wife as she had heard about the ministry from another friend. Word of mouth is a wonderful asset for this ministry and has led me to the best organization, whom I am glad to call family.
I was born in the western part of Texas, raised in Andrews, TX. I currently work with WellMed as a Sr Data Scientist for over twelve years. I am married and living in Bulverde, TX. Hobbies include fishing and camping.

Volunteering for a Christian ministry can be a deeply fulfilling experience for many reasons:

  1. Spiritual Growth: It provides me an opportunity to deepen my faith and grow spiritually by serving others and living out Christian values.
  2. Community Building: I am able to connect with like-minded individuals, fostering a sense of community and belonging.
  3. Making a Difference: The smallest of contributions that I make, have a tangible impact on people’s lives, whether through outreach programs, spreading the gospel , or providing that human interaction through a smile.
  4. Personal Development: Volunteering helps develop skills such as leadership, communication, and empathy. These attributes help contribute towards a successful path as a Sunday School facilitator.
  5. Sense of Purpose: It has given me a sense of purpose and fulfillment, knowing I am contributing to a cause greater than yourself. That cause being God.

Kenny Sides
Board President

Kenny and his wife, Cheryl, live in Boerne with their daughter, Sarah, and attend FBC Boerne. Kenny has been involved with Taking it to the Streets for several years. “I love this ministry and feel called to serve the less fortunate. In James 2:14 God tells us ‘my brothers and sisters, if people say they have faith, but do nothing, their faith is worth nothing. A brother or sister might need clothes or food, if you say to that person, “God be with you!” but do nothing, then your words are worth nothing.’”

Mike Russell – Honorary and former President
Mike served & lead this ministry for over 13 years Wholeheartedly. He loved serving & helping his friends on the street. Always trying to be his best version of “the hands & feet of Jesus”. We miss him dearly But his legacy lives on. Each weekend we hear amazing stories of  the impact he had on our brothers/sisters. He was a great example of the key verse of this ministry.
 Matthew 25:40 “And the King will say, ‘I tell you the truth, when you did it to one of the least of these my brothers and sisters, you were doing it to me!”
