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.
