While Bastrop County residents were left largely on their own by the county to contend with last week's harsh winter weather conditions and utility outages, Pastor Roland Nava left the doors to his ministry wide open for those in need of a warm place to rest.
Nava is the pastor at In The Streets Hands Up High Ministry, at 987 Texas 95 N in Bastrop.
When outside temperatures dip below freezing, the ministry — which also provides an emergency family shelter for people experiencing homelessness with children and housing for veterans experiencing homelessness — offers a “Shelter of Grace” for those who need warmth.
