              Saturday June, 2010  
      

       It is Saturday in late June and we delivered 110 baggies, mens hats, mens t-shirts, shorts, 
       pants, womens hygiene, 100 bottles of water, on 8th, 9th ave, by Madison Jail, between Jefferson 
       and Van Buren streets in Phoenix. We distributed alot around the Cass street Homeless Shelter,
       we got of the car there to give to men lying down and in wheel chairs. 
       I prayed with D-Arrow the salvation prayer, not sure if he already had done that, he said he
       knew Jesus and quoted some scripture. Whoopee. :)
       
       Then we went to Margaret park on 3rd ave, and distributed more baggies and water. The Park Ranger in
       a SUV follow us on the grass, I thought that was odd. Finally he pulled up right next to us on 
       the grass far side of park and said I could finish giving homeless water and baggies, but do not  come back.
       I asked him why, he said it is dangerous, I said I prayed for protection from God. He said, you should go
       to Cass street shelter and pass out stuff. I told him I already had. Then he said, OK what I am saying
       is I do not want you to distribute water or anything in this park, we want the homeless to go to the
       Cass shelter. I said OK.

       But in my heart I do obey the laws, but I can't see letting the homeless in the park have water is a violation
       of anything. I think they just don't want them in that park. But the reason they go there is they can sleep
       and it is less dangerous for them.


       

              Saturday January 3, 2010  
      

       It is Saturday January 3, 2010 and we delivered baggies, sweaters, mens dress shirts
       water, coffee, and soda to the homeless on the streets of Phoenix.

       It was a quiet day. People loved the coffee I brought in a carafe. That was everyone's 
       favorite, outside of soda. These are things we take for granted but the homeless don't get
       very often.
       Something I did was ask them if they wanted sugar or sweetner in their coffee that already
       had cream in it. Surprisingly, they loved the fact that I asked them their preference.
       Then when I finished putting sugar in their coffee, I would stir it for them, as I was 
       sitting in the car doing this for them. I told them Jesus came to serve and that is
       what I am doing. Their faces lit up.

       We drove over to Margaret Park and gave baggies and drinks to homeless laying on the
       grass. We met a family of six and what a delight this was. A mom with six kids, so I asked
       her would you like some socks and hygiene products, she was reluctant to answer. The funny
       thing about this was, when I had gone in the restroom earlier and was washing my hands, she
       had asked me if I wanted hand sanitizer that she had. Later this same lady I am asking
       if she wanted socks etc. She didnt say but one of her daughters shook her head yes.
       Earl and I said we would be right back that we would go to the car and get the stuff.
       But close on our heels was pitter patter of little feet. Here they come all six girls
       following us. Very cute indeed. So we passed out seven baggies, a litre of root beer which
       the girls quickly grabbed and off they went.

       Each event doesn't seem like that big a deal. But it is, it does impact and bring hope 
       and a little joy in a very difficult life for the homeless. Plus, they can't understand
       why we take our money and time and do this. So spreading God's love in this way does make
       a difference.

 ***   Founder's note: You hear on TV do an act of kindness. The Bible is all about acts of kindness
       and all about loving your neighbor. Who is your neighbor? Anyone who you come in contact with
       who needs help. Acts of Kindness is not a new buzz word. It was a way of life for those
       who believe in the Bible and what Jesus Christ did for us on the cross.

 ***   It strikes me as funny that we have to be told and be intentional in our actions, to
       do acts of kindness every once in awhile. We have to be told to care for the hurting,
       feed the poor, help the helpless. In all of our knowledge, we have become cold, numb,
       bitter, selfish, callus, so every so often if someone reminds us to be loving or caring
       we say ok I can do this once a year or so.

***    Coming home after our delivery to the homeless that day, I felt a little disallusioned.
       I didn't lead anyone to Christ, that was my goal, I had the script ready. But later that 
       day, the Holy Spirit reminded me that it is up to God. I planted the seed. God will make it
       grow. It is not my job to save anybody, just to obey the task God gives me.
       I may be number one in planting, and that person will not accept Christ until the forty fourth
       person invites them to believe and trust in Christ for their life now and eternally.




      

    Saturday August 2009      
      
         
       It is Saturday July 2009 and we went to 8th, 9th and Washington and 7th Streets.
       We handed out 110 baggies. We prayed for a family who had just come back from eating
       lunch at Cass Homeless shelter. They came from Minnesota and had two children.  They
       moved here hoping for better opportunity. They were staying in a motel.
       They said they are believers and are trusting in God to supply their needs.

       It always amazes me that people who are down and out have so much more faith than 
       me at times.
       
       We gave a senior who was walking around barefoot in scorching heat some socks and shoes and a baggie full
       of crackers, hygiene products etc.

       We prayed for a lady named Julia who is staying at the dangerous Cass street shelter because she lost her job, no fault of hers.
       Cass is a very dangerous place for a woman. She said in the day Cass wants residents to leave the shelter and walk around. 
       We met her on the street. 

       Saturday August 2008    
      

       We met a man who said he was a prophet of God. He knew Bible scriptures and stories very well. He said there is a witch cult
       he is fighting in downtown Phoenix. The police showed up so we had to leave.

       We met a woman who said she was married to a minister for twenty-five years who abandoned her. She was so distraught that she
       said she just wanted to die. I told her God loves her and wanted her to minister to the homeless while she was there. We
       prayed and she said she felt hope and much better. 
       We prayed with other people who were very receptive to praying who needed jobs and to be free from addiction.



       Use me Lord to spread the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It is a privilege to serve you Lord. What an honor, and 
       what joy to see people receive a little hope and Your Love Lord.
       
       
       Saturday May, 12th, 2007 
      
           
       It is Saturday May 12,2007, it is the day before Mother's Day. 
       My mother died March 13th, 2007, just two months prior. 
       This is a sad day for me. But I said to The Lord it would be 
       good to serve and help the homeless, they have mother's too that 
       they have lost. 

       It was very hot that day and we passed out 100 baggies and cases of water. 
       The homeless on 9th st. by Madison Jail is where most hang out. 
       The Cass shelter is there. They were so grateful as they said the usual
       people who drop off water didn't show up that day. I passed out clothes too. 
       One homeless man John was going to a wedding on Sunday and needed a dress shirt and pants. 
       He was grateful. He was riding a bike with a trash
       bag full of cans that he was going to turn in for some cash. 
       I made him a sandwich and asked if he had any prayer requests. 
       John said yes, that he couldn't keep a job because of his temper. 
       He also struggled with pornography. He knew the Bible well too as he 
       stated to me various scriptures. He was discouraged and I 
       explained through the Grace of God he could over come his weaknesses 
       and be an minister to the homeless. He agreed and he mentioned his mom 
       had taught him about God and she had died. When I told him my mom had
       just died he really opened up to me. We talked for over an hour and he 
       said that our approach Earl and I was so humble and friendly and we didn't 
       make him feel beneath us. I laid hands on him and prayed for victory over 
       his temper and pornography and that God would use him on the streets.

       By the way, Earl keeps the car running when we are near the Cass Street
       shelter or Madison Jail. The pictures below are in that area.

      Next we met Julia. She was in her fifties I would guess. She had a part-time  
      job housecleaning, but lost it recently. She was trying to get another job. 
      It is hard when you live on the streets and have no phone or address to get a job. 
      I gave her some of my mom's shoes. I gave her a Bible that Phoenix Rescue 
      had given me. I saw her reading the tracts I gave her later that day 
      when we went back to that area. I laid hands on her and prayed that God 
      would give her favor and give her a job so she could get off the streets. 
      That area by the jail is very dangerous, especially for women.

     We bring hope and God's love to the homeless. We don't judge them, 
     we come in under the radar.
     So they feel free to express their real weaknesses and to realize 
     that God loves them no matter what they have done.


     




      

      
               Saturday December 10th, 2006
      

      I am so happy we went out Saturday December 10, 2006.
      We focused just on Margaret T. Deck
      Park. 
      It is in between 3rd st and 1st Street off Culver street.
      We got to spend about an hour or more with each person. 
      We prayed for four people in particular: Linda, John, David, 
      and Bear ( A Cheyenne Native American who loves Jesus.)
      There stories were tragic, heartfelt and truthful.
