Jesus on the Streets (on a weird day) - July 9, 2023
Today was a weird day on the streets of Brockton where we served 108 meals and even more people. It was overcast, but it didn’t rain so hey, we’ll call it a win. Most people we met seemed pretty quiet and reserved but we did have some very good conversations and many prayer requests.
- Lorraine is praying for her disability check to arrive and to get out of the shelter. Dave served her communion which made her really happy.
- Taide is new to being homeless and praying for safety.
- Tony’s mother Theresa is going into surgery and is worried.
- Miko is praying for change as her husband died and she’s heartbroken. She’s hoping that his pension will continue and his life insurance will be honored.
- Chris is happy he has an apartment but is worried for his mom who has cancer.
- Junior said he’s going into a program on Monday. Praying that he did.
- Patrick didn’t have work last week and is depressed. We’re praying he can stay sober and has work this week.
- Chris is mad because his girlfriend Theresa is doing cocaine again and was hospitalized.
- We were so happy to see Nando who had a 10 hour surgery to remove Stage 2 cancer in his abdomen. We’re praying for complete healing.
- Dave has an infected leg (really bad) and is heartbroken because his mom died and his baby mom wants a divorce. Praying for this young man who was in tears as we prayed.
- Brittany said she was going into rehab on Monday and we’re praying she followed through.
Thank you all so much for helping us love the lost and despairing!
