Brockton - April 26, 2026

Sunday was a cool overcast day as we took a team of five to serve on the streets of Brockton. It was a busy day and we served meals to about 80 of our friends but more than that came for drinks and for prayers. Because of the small team we didn’t get as many deep conversations or pictures as we would normally like, but there was plenty of opportunity for prayer.

We had volunteers from the following churches: Church of Emmanuel, Jesus Revolution Church

The prayer list includes:

– Freddy was rocking his Trinidad outfit. He was very happy to see us.

– Rachel is praying for her health.

– Michelle was singing the whole time we were serving her. She is praying for housing and for her health as she has serious needs regarding her liver, her kidneys and her immune system.

– John is living at the VA. He’s a Vietnam vet and is asking for prayers for a better living situation.

– Joe was praying for peace, happiness and prosperity. He’s also praying to get into the labor union so he can work.

– Dawn is so excited that she was able to quit fentanyl and now she’s hoping to beat her addiction to crack. She needs our prayer.
