Sandwiches, Suicide and Hope

When we went out this past week we made up a bunch of sandwiches to hand out.  We also had to jugs of hot chocolate.  We have had several people ask us for food and its always difficult to say yes to one but not another.  Well we had plenty this time for any one who wanted something.  One of our regulars can up when we arrived and we found out that he was really struggling.  Apparently he had just been released from a mental hospital.  He was feeling very down and said he had been having a lot of suicidal thoughts.  We asked him if we could pray for him.  As we prayed for him I noticed that he pulled his hat down over his eyes and began to quietly weep.  When we finished praying for him he said that he felt so much better.  Please remember this man in your prayers.  I am reminded of what a pastor friend (www.rescueatlanta.com) that works with the homeless in Atlanta says when asked what his ministry does.  "Quite simply, we give people hope."  May we continue to give people hope in Christ Jesus- the source of True hope.

Are You Ready?

The Lord is most definitely taking the world in a new direction! Every week I see it as I go downtown, as I go to the mall, as I go to the grocery store, or even as I sit at home!  The Lord is pouring out His Spirit on the dry ground, as He said He would do in the end times! There's a cloud on the horizon and its about to rain! Christians will never be the same. We will only get a taste of Gods glory! But His glory will be the only thing that satisfies our lovesick heart! We will never go back to the way things were! Hes about to move, Hes about to shine His light brighter than ever before, Hes coming! Are you ready for the rain?

Glory To God Forever! Receive His Wind, Receive His Holy Spirit!
