Come rain, His light is still going to shine!

So, there was some "slight" rain in the park today! We know we are sweet and all, but we none of us melted, (well, I kind of did!).

Our ministry was hugely blessed this week by The Richmond Hill United Methodist Church. They donated 50 lbs of chopped ham and more spiced apples than we could serve! The leftover meat and apples were taken to The Old Savannah City Mission, and boy were they glad to have all of it! Pay it forward, baby!



Thanks for bringing the canopy, Jeff and Renee'!

Laura, do we need to talk?


















Our precious, precious Chelsea and Laney! Ok, they could have melted because they truly have a sweet heart for Jesus.



Last week I spent a lot of time in prayer with James Smith. He is one of the most gentle man I have ever met. He has been coming to the park for the past three months. Last month he brought me some strawberries because he said we bless him each week and he wanted to bless us. Well last week I noticed him standing by himself so I went over and gave him a hug. He told me that I had no idea how much he needed that. He was broken, and I could see it in his eyes. James went on to explain to me that there is no work to be found and his bed at the mission would be given to someone in two days. I asked him where he would go, and he said that he would take a sheet and a shower curtain and sleep in the ditch. Ok, I became a blubbering idiot with tears flowing down my cheeks. We prayed that God would open a door for him. What that door might look like, we did not know. James has been prayed for all week by my family in Ohio, my dear friend in Florida and lots of her friends, also by a lot of you.
Today James was a different man. If he does not have a job by Wednesday, he is going to take that as confirmation from God that he is to move on to a mission in Dalton, Ga. There he will have a roof over his head and employment. It is already set up for him. God has provided transportation for him to get there!
He humbly said his goodbyes and could not thank me enough for what takes place in the park each Sunday. Please keep him in his prayers as he continues to listen to God for direction.

This is another man I met last week. His name is Keith and is struggling with addiction. Today he was so excited to tell me that he went to another addiction meeting last night, and church today! Praise Jesus, you rock! He is living in his car and has a good job, but is blowing his money on something that is keeping him in a pit. Please lift him up to our Lord for strength.

This is EXACTLY why I go to the park each week!
