Bourbon Street: 5 Bibles and 100+ Tracts

-

I got onto Bourbon Street just before 9pm with 5 Bibles and 100+ tracts. As I started walking from one end of the busy section to the other I just began handing tracts out to people saying, "Here, let me leave this with you as a reminder that Jesus loves you." Most people shrugged the tract away but by the end of the night all of them were handed out! As I got to the end of Bourbon Street where it meets Canal, there were two tables with chess boards and apparently you could play one of the two men for $10 and if you win they would pay you $20. This brother, Byron, invited me to play a game but I explained what I was doing. Hearing my mission, he said, "well hey, play me for just $5 and you can witness to me while we play." Ha! Well, I agreed and played a short match while I shared my testimony and prayed for him. After leaving the chess area, I encountered a young couple and when I told them that Jesus loves them, they both stopped in their tracks and admi...

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...

Rt. 23 West

I was tempted to skip crosswalking today because I'm a little sore from yesterday. I decided however to walk a half-day instead. As soon as I got out of the campsite the first person that stopped to talk was the last person that stopped to talk last night. I found that her name is Patty and that she's the wife of the camp owner. I told Evie last night that I wanted to speak with Patty more because the last thing she said to me was, “it doesn't matter what god you believe in, as long as you have faith.” Thank God I was able to speak and pray with her this morning. Walking along State Route 23, two women named Jennifer and Alice stopped they were on the way to work and wanted to hear my testimony. They were both believers and we were able to encourage one another. After they pulled away and I began walking again, I passed a piece of paper blowing in the wind. I really felt God lead me to pick it up so I backed up and grabbed it. It had a woman named Sylvia's ema...
