A group of us went out to the tent camps again yesterday, delivering food and water to the homeless in the city. The brokenness of the homeless was displayed through empty alcohol bottles, tattered clothing and rotting sleeping bags. Not every camp we visited had occupants, but we could tell people live there. We left food for them and prayed over their camp, that God would bless the people living there and bring them to Him.
We met some people yesterday. People who were welcoming of us and in need of a Jesus who cared about them. And we (only because of Jesus in us) brought to them that love their souls longed for. They ate up the food in a hurry, but it is our hope that the encouragement and hope we brought them will last much longer. And we can keep praying for them. Please keep in your prayers Alvin, Vicki, Donny and Sharon. Pray that they would find hope and healing. Pray that they would find shelter and the help they need to get back on their feet again. Pray that they would find restoration and new life in Jesus.

Kristin,
Thank you so much for always putting a report of the outreaches here. Even though Mike and I were in PA we were praying for you and the others who went out.
I always feel challenged and at the same time filled with the love of Jesus every time I read your posts.
I will remember to pray for Alvin, Vicki, Donny and Sharon. Thank you for sharing with us and with them.
