Homeless Status: Yesterday was awsomely warm. A lot of folks out, being real nice and appreciative. Met some returning faces who've been out of town, met new faces passing through. All seemed happy to receive the supplies and just the conversation.One camp are was needing garbage bags so they could clean up their area. Yes if its clean the Police and Rail Road will leave you alone, BUT if they's drama, drugs or beer..then your gone..So it pays to be nice and clean.
You don't have to have things to give away to engage people into talking. We were at one camp for a while, they were all doing their own thing, we show up, they all came to the truck and there the house party began..all were laughing and having fun.
Here is a testimony from a volunteer yesterday:
"unWanted Outreach"What I learned from the homeless today one lady named Louise said you have to count your blessing , but first you have to know them. One of the guys Said we might not have a home but we have each other. We spent 20 min at one camp laughing and enjoying these wonderful people Please pray for them ....God is love doesn't matter why they are there we are giving them love :-):-):-):-(God with us
So can you do this too? Yes. You don't have to be with us, just while your out... acknowledge folks as people, not objects. Im not saying give them money or endanger your kids, but use caution and let the Spirit guide you.
Thank You all for so much of the giving and donations it has really started a lot of conversations and relationships. Which has led us to telling others about God.
Like the Green Berets, they have to know us to listen to us..we offer help and they trust.
