1 Chronicles 16:9-11

As the scripture says: Sing to Him, sing praise to Him; tell of all His wonderful acts. Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice. Look to the LORD and His strength; seek His face always.

The Lord Jesus Christ has been very faithful to this Ministry. The Holy Spirit is moving at a rapid pace, not necessarily where we would have first guessed, but it is He who sends His Spirit where He chooses. All of the LTN volunteers have been blessed by what we are witnessing and experiencing on a weekly basis. We can't help but direct our focus on our neighbors, hoping that some of them may turn their hearts to The Lord, but in doing so... we often miss the full shot of what He is doing in the hearts of those who just pass by or witness from afar.

Tonight, we had the opportunity to serve side by side with a small youth group, giving them first hand experience in serving the community and giving them an eye opening chance to see what a blessing it is to bring some happiness to the homeless population on a large scale.

I love how GOD's heart will never stretch too thin. His love is eternally overflowing for those who seek His face. This blog was never intended to boast about what good works any of us are doing, it was created specifically to 'tell all of His wonderful acts'. I hope that has never stumbled anybody who may have come across our link.

The thing about our Ministry is this... there are people who have been there (never going anywhere) the entire time, some have come & gone, and few pass through... never to be seen again. It is a great privilege to build some rapport with those that allow us into their lives. Tonight, an old face came through our line. Unfortunately this guy brought sad news with him. He will need prayer. He'd been in jail for the past 4 months, and released this afternoon, only to learn that his girlfriend had died while he was away. She was also somebody that we served semi-regularly. He is heartbroken and at the moment upset with GOD. That is not something these guys expect to hear, when they are looking for hope. He rejected my offer for prayer, but he will need it none-the-less. His name is Frank.

In GOD's perfect planning, we had a EMT trained person with us today. Alexandra used her training during a sudden emergency. One of the men had a seizure, just as he was sitting down to eat his dinner. Sadly he collapsed and split his head open on the concrete. Alexandra knew exactly what to do and stayed calm in the midst of all the commotion and people panicking. GOD being 'all knowing' knew who needed to be there at that specific time to help that individual until the paramedics arrived to take the man to the ER. I'm glad she was there, because I would've not known how to handle that.

In closing, things have been going so well for this Ministry. For us, it just proves that GOD has His hand on this. I am so thankful to serve with such an incredible & loving group of Believers!

Down with the old and up with the new!

This afternoon our church had it's summer baptism in Mission Bay. Many people came to get dunked and plenty more came out to show some awesome support to our fellow brothers & sisters.

I was honored to baptize one of our very own from PB, Alexandra and her 7 year old son, Julian! She is a very brand new Believer, but is growing in her spiritual walk daily. I am very proud of her for stepping out in faith and allowing GOD to take control of her new life in San Diego.
