I think every person in attendance, both volunteer and dinner guest would agree that last night was the most positive and peaceful night we've ever had. The waves seemed to calm, almost as if we were at a lake... the crowd stood silently as GOD's Word was shared. The sweetest and most genuine thing ever happened too... I'd shared a recent miracle that happened in my own life, and our neighbors applauded out of genuine sincerity. That alone was very touching for me.
We had extra hands on deck last night, which is always a blessing because the more Believers we have, the more we are free to mobilize and minister as lead by The Holy Spirit of GOD. We don't always have that capability, so it's really nice when we do. There is always a desire from the people to pray with them or simply sit back and allow them to share their story. Homeless or not, we all enjoy conversation, and this gives them an opportunity to partake in such.
We handed out 8 or 9 Bibles to those who wanted them. I'm thankful that we had some with us.
The worship music was amazing and encouraging as it grew into a small jam session with multiple instruments last night. Jason had his acoustic guitar, Eddie brought down his cajon, and one of our guests joined in with his tambourine and then some bongos, while the a handful of us sang praises unto The Lord.
Our gathering wasn't as big as last week, so a few people were able to have a second plate of food. I can't help but wonder what GOD has in store for this Ministry. Over all, majority of the attitudes (and hopefully the hearts) of the homeless community has changed for the positive having heard about Jesus and how He loves them.
Some still have their struggles to addiction, but now they have something hopeful to look forward to if they make the choice to change (surrender). GOD can not lie, what He says is a promise... and His Word says: "As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you." (Joshua 1:5)
