Brockton - September 29, 2024

It was an incredible day of ministry on the streets of Brockton as we served 126 meals of Dijon chicken to our friends with a small team of 5 people. It was busy. It was emotional. And at times it felt a bit overwhelming. That said, we were blessed to be able to pray with many of our friends.

- Michael is still living in the shelter and trying to stay sober. He asks for prayers for strength.

- Mark and Mickey are praying for blessings

- Our friend Anthony is back in Georgia and praying he gets power back soon (due to the hurricane).

- Charlie was hit by a car, which banged up his knee and destroyed his bike. In addition, while he was getting care, someone was robbing his tent. He needs prayers of healing and provision.

- John John is in the ICU.

- Mike is praying for a home, for his cousin in the hospital, and for his family.

- James (Taz) is very thankful for his new jalopy (electric wheel chair).

- Dennis has tremors caused by bipolar.

- Patrick is picking up food for Robert who is confined to a wheelchair and despondent.

- Chris is heartbroken as his wife was taken off life support and died on Friday.

- Tex needs prayers as he is waiting to get some paperwork squared away and hopes to be entering Teen Challenge.

- Lisa has a cast on her wrist and has an infection. She needs prayers of healing.

- Lucy is still battling addiction and being dope-sick. She is praying for her family and to get off drugs.

- Wendell can no longer afford his apartment. He is hoping to get into a detox program.

- Sara got frost bite on her foot very badly last winter and now has gangrene in her foot. The hospital wants to amputate but she is refusing.

- Milton is praying for safety.

- Erica is asking for prayers of safety. She is troubled that the younger people on the streets are much more violent and prone to stealing from them.

- Heather has an infected cut on her hand.

- Donna (Rocky) said that she’s doing well in recovery.

- Christine can be difficult but today she was quite pleasant. Praise God!
