The Father's Heart

The Father's Heart Ministry is an extension of God's Hand, purposed to share His love, to the hurting and needy in Rochester, NY. The Father's Heart meets the practical needs of the homeless which include food, clothing, prayer, and godly counseling through ministering the Gospel of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

Established on April 30th, 2011 by Pastor Russ and Anne Loria.

Pastor Russ and Anne Loria spearhead The Father's Heart Ministry. The ministry humbly began in 2007 when Russ and Anne, along with a few others, would go to the Cadillac Hotel to minister to the people by bringing sandwiches, clothes, and whatever the Lord provided, along with a presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Around 2010, they began making a monthly lunch at the Pines of Perinton with a group of people where they would provide a hot meal and a Gospel message. From there it has grown to be The Father's Heart Ministry, consisting of Rochester's only mobile kitchen while continuing the other outreach at the Pines of Perinton. The mobile kitchen had its first outreach in April 2011. The mobile kitchen goes out every Thursday, Friday and Saturday to various locations throughout the city of Rochester. The ministry provides city residents with groceries, clothing, a hot meal, Bible literature, a listing of local churches, and most of all the message of Hope: Jesus Christ.

The vision Russ and Anne had for The Father's Heart Ministry from day one was to go to wherever the Lord directed: to be His hands and feet, extended in love to the broken, hurting, and lost people located in Monroe County and beyond.
