Atlanta Homeless

Last week I went out to do a prayer walk around the Georgia State-House in Atlanta. I had no idea how bad the homeless situation was until I struck up conversation with a man named Rick. He told me how horrible living on the streets has been for him; he was going on five years. Apparently, someone in his family had died, and he lost everything.  We kept talking, and later he mentioned that it was going to rain, which makes finding shelter and moving his belongings so much more difficult since he didn't have a buggy cart anymore. The man was basically lugging around suitcases, buckets, and  a backpack. And even though his situation might be laughable to some; my heart went out to him.  I asked if he needed anything (because sometimes we need to move beyond just prayer), and he said that he was hungry. The problem in Atlanta is that there aren't enough shelters or soup kitchens in contrast to the homeless population, and the few that are, fill up too quickly! So these p...

Just saying "hello!"

Wow, I have really fallen behind with updates to this blog. Many apologies. In July, we began our 50 states mission trip in Maine. We camped in Naples and then spent a few weeks in Bangor when Pastor Bobby Bledsoe of City Reach offered to host us at his church. What an awesome, amazing time of ministry. Thousands saw the cross as I ministered outside of a Toby Keith concert and a handful gave their heart to the Lord as I ministered around Bangor inner city. In August we moved into New Hampshire and Pastor Ron Bodendorf, of Derry, (a fellow cross bearer) offered to host us for a couple weeks. Ministry in Manchester, Nashua, and surrounding towns was anointed! After two weeks with Ron and Sue, 1st Assembly in Auburn opened their doors to us. They also opened their pantry...and what perfect timing because we had just run out of food and funds! Then in September we moved into Vermont where another cross bearer hosted us! The power couple of Liz and Larry Messier met us in Montpelier ...

What an awesome finish to our time "home" in South Carolina! Caleb and I drove to the RiverWalk and parked with a plan to CrossWalk past the StateHouse to 5-Points and back. After parking we were getting the crosses out of the car when two women stopped to ask what the crosses were for. Just seconds after arriving and we were already sharing the Gospel! We got on the road and I stopped in to the McDonald's to use the restroom. When I came out, Caleb was speaking with a man named Lamont about the CrossWalk. We ministered to this brother and prayed with him at the roadside. Then, before leaving he blessed us with $100 and said, "keep doing what you're doing, it's a powerful statement!" Wow, God is so good!! We prayerfully continued on to the StateHouse and then to 5-points, many people beeping and encouraging us on the way. When we got to the center of the city I stopped for a snack and Caleb walked up to a burger joint to get lunch. After my snack I s...
