Downtown Baltimore

I'm so grateful for God, Janet, Al, Pete, Charmain, Sharon, Pastor Sam, and all the people praying for our outreaches in Baltimore. Last night's outreach was incredibly blessed! Al made about 50 ham sandwiches and bagged lunches with snacks and chips for homeless people. I thought I was going to Fell's Point, but Janet called with a list of places where the homeless hang out. We ended up on Calvert Street and Lexington and then headed to “the Block” where there's a row of strip clubs. We witnessed to several doormen and then a few “drunks.” The first drunk was Rudolph, who knows he's not living for God and says he wants freedom and strength to “get it together.”

On the block, one guy was crying, devastated that his wife is in jail. He wouldn't say why. Pete prayed for him until he stopped crying. Later, we prayed for several other guys who need freedom for drugs: Victor and Theardus. We really feel like God moved on behalf of these people, especially Victor. We're believing God for freedom, salvation and provision for them. Please keep them in prayer. The only other name I can remember right now is Solomon. God knows who needs what, so we just thank Him for all He's done and for His blessing on our efforts to serve Him. All praise and glory be to Jesus Christ, the one and only true God, all glory and power, forever. Amen! Thank you again for your prayers and praise God! Amen. Amen!!
