One saturday morning recently I woke up before dawn and had a stronge sense in my spirit to drive to Bay and prayer walk around the church, so I did – thinking this was the reason the Lord woke me up and sent me to the church. But as I rounded the front corner, I was startled by seeing 2 homeless men asleep in the flower bed up against the church wall.  Then I realized the real reason He sent me to the church that morning – to minister to these men.The sun was barely peeking out at this point and I asked the Lord what He wanted me to do. “go get them breakfast” – so I went to Mcdonalds and brought back breakfast and one man was stirring when I got there. I could tell they were still drunk, but I knew the Lord was orchestrating this so I was not afraid.   I gave them breakfast and asked the man if I could pray for them (his friend still being out). After I prayed, he kept apologizing for sleeping at the church and kept thanking me – not for the food, but for praying for him.  I asked him if there was anything else I could do for them, and he said “we just really need a tent so we’ll have somewhere to sleep”.  So I told them to meet me at the Malbis Shell station in 30 minutes and I would bring them a tent.  I went home, got my husband, and we went and bought a tent, 2 bibles and reading glasses to take to these precious souls.  When we got to the Shell station, they were waiting for us at a picnic table and the man who I had talked and prayed with began saying to his friend “See, this is the lady who prayed for us… she prayed for us… I told you she would come back”.  We talked to them a little about their lives and the love of the Lord,for them, salvation …. as we gave them the things we brought.  They were so appreciative. The most touching part was what happened next.  We were kneeling down in front of these men as they sat on the bench, and I began to pray for them before we left.  I had my hands help open as i was praying, and after about 15 seconds, I felt one of them reach out and hold onto my hand.  About the same time, the other man did the same thing.  I had to open my eyes and as I looked, they both had their eyes closed with tears streaming down their faces. One man almost went into sobs. It makes me cry again just typing this. The Lord touched them that day, when they were desperate. I believe that is why they went to sleep against the walls of the church …. their hearts were seeking refuge in the Lord, and He heard and answered them by sending a person to minister to them.  God uses PEOPLE.  I pray God not let us forget that there are hurting, lost people everywhere around us, just waiting for someone to care.  I am so thankful the Lord gave us the opportunity to pour His love and truth into these lost, hurting souls.
