Code Blue Baltimore

October 30, 2010

Some friends of mine from Harvest Chapel came along to Baltimore on Saturday for the “Code Blue” outreach. We met Janet Wood (from Essex) and the Bridgeway Church team (with Pastors Lou and Sharon Wamsley) for outreach. The HC team took a few bags of clothes for men and women and then headed to Essex to help make PB&J sandwhiches and bag lunches. The outreaches were very successful! We visited two spots: after “Code Blue” (homeless shelter) and the Fayette Street park. We visited Harbor Place and prayed for people there, enjoying the sights and shops and food. The incredible diversity of people there was really fun for our team and we enjoyed seeing some people who had dressed up, but were bummed that we didn't get to talk to them. There was a group of “Ghost Busters,”...hmmmm? I wonder if they were “Holy Ghost” Busters or the other kind.
Most of all the team from HC was incredibly grateful to be used of God and honored that these guys would come up to them for prayer. The fun part for me was praying for a guy, Len, who had metal in His arm. I had prayed before going to B.town for clues of who was God's treasure for the day and Holy Spirit gave me a Word of Knowledge: metal. When I met Len and he said he has metal in his arm, I just laughed and laughed! Janet testified about a guy at her church who God miraculously healed of the metal in his body, still, Len was a little surprised that God can do it! So, we prayed and encouraged him and we're believing God for restoration for Len so he can work again. Thanks for your prayers and praise God for Len's healing! Amen? All glory to Him in Jesus Christ who lives and reigns!

Others for whom we are praying and believing God for jobs, provision, housing and restoration: Solomon and his family, and Ben, Ephraim, and.....ummm...God knows the rest!

Team friends from HC: Dick, John and Becky (from Kansas!) Becky has joined us at HC for The School of Kingdom Living. She has a real big heart for outreach and God uses her gift of phophecy to encourage others. Becky and I hit it off quickly, having a lot in common..she's also a therapist: an aromatherpist and a colon-hydrotherapist! Fun! You must have a great sense of humor when you work with colons...and she does! Welcome to the team, Becky! The guys enjoyed it so much, they're ready to do it again! We thank God for His provision, for His giftings, and His great love, for His manifest Presense and the Holy Ghost! We thank God for souls and His Word(s) in our hearts, minds, and ever on our lips! Praise be to God in Christ Jesus! Much thanks and love.

In Jesus,
