Brockton - January 4, 2026

It was a cold day as the LYNN Ministries team served 57 people on the streets of Brockton. The sky was a brilliant blue and temperatures were in the mid 30s when we started but soon dropped below 30 and the wind picked up making it a very raw and bone chilling day. That said the food we served was hot as were the coffee and hot cocoa. All those we met seemed glad that we were there. It was a great way to start the new year.

We had five churches represented: Church of Emmanuel, South Shore Community Church, Grace Chapel (Foxboro and Norton), Waters Church

The following people asked for prayers:

– Guillermo it’s ready for the cold weather to stop so he can get back to fishing.

– Don and Laura are hoping to be living in a new location in 2026.

– Michael is hoping to get to see his six-year-old daughter soon.

– Sue and Julie are both praying for Julie‘s seizures.

– Francisco is sad that his wife was ill and not able to move back to Brockton last week and hopes that she will be able to get here soon.

– Greg was pleased to receive an empowerment coat.

– Tara and Mary are praying for Mary’s pain to subside.

– Mario was very happy to get things he had requested.

– Vinny is praying for his health.

– Becca is praying that her Bell’s palsy will be healed.

– Bonita is praying that the new year be more peaceful and have less liberal vs conservative fighting.

– Derek is praying that things get better.

– Karen is praying to be able to move out of the shelter

– Ben is new to being homeless and is praying for health and an opportunity for a better lifestyle.

– The following people just asked for general prayer: Sheila, Manuel, Freddy, Sal, Jax, Dan, Kaffenikorv, Emmanuel, and Anna.

It was a fulfilling day on the streets of Brockton and we thank all those who helped make it a possibility. Please continue to be praying for our friends on the streets as the winter is only going to keep getting colder.
