There is a beauty in GOD's faithfulness that is so captivating. His love will never fail. His loving efforts will never grow weary. His patience will not thin through time. His love will endure forever!
We have a gentleman that has become our friend. I shall keep his name out of this...
He recently had a difficult time with his health, which ultimately resulted in Open Heart Surgery and nearly 3 weeks in the hospital. He is unlike the majority of our guests. He has a likableness about him that I can't quite explain, but for those of us that know him, understand what I mean. He is one that truly wants to get off the streets, and his new health condition make things all the more worse for him. By the grace of Jesus Christ, this friend was able to get a bed in the SDRM this past Monday morning. Against all the horror stories he's heard from those of the streets, he decided to give it a shot.
This morning, he shared a desire to participate in our Ministry from the other side of the tables. It turns out that he really enjoys the SDRM! I'm not one to toot the horn of another Ministry, but it sure sounds like this friend has went against the negative advice from his acquaintances and has truly seen the good side of things. It was really pleasant to see the joy this friend had tonight in serving his peers. This immediate change gave others hope about a way out, which points them to Jesus Christ. I can already see how GOD is going to use this man in mighty ways to reach those he associates with.
As for the events of the evening, all went well without any problems to mention. Everybody was fed physically and spiritually. More and more people are showing appreciation for the gospel of Jesus Christ. It still surprises me to know that although there are plenty of churches or facilities that give out meals to the needy, there are still people that attend those functions who claim to have never heard that Jesus died for them! As long as GOD is directing us in this location, there will never be a time when His Word is not preached or shared.
