but at the same time i have had some CRAZY encounters with my friends
and with some homeless guys already .. so 3 minute God story GO!!!
i have been praying that God would place in my way disciple’s people who
he has predestined for that very purpose to be homeless and love him
and preach on the streets
I go to this homeless thing for easter (day after i get back Landon
casually invites me)
i had a dream that night that i was at this park and i thought huh thats
weird i haven’t been there in like 2 years and we pull up to the
homeless thing and its the park….. Lindsay says hey maybe it means
you’re gonna meet someone today…. I thought THATS EXACTLY WHAT IT
MEANS!!!!
I met a guy named James that all the other christians wouldn’t really
talk to ( he was a little sketch) and i asked him where he slept and i
know a lot of people in the area that he stays around which felt cool we
say good byes and then i go to volunteer to pray for communion and a
guy comes up to ask for prayer i walk off with him and talk a bit ….
His name is also James!!!
we get back in the car and lindsay says so did you meet someone, with a
big smile i said “yep”
the first 2 disciples that Jesus called are John and James…. they are
BROTHERS…. and the first 2 people i meet to start the vision that God
gave me of a homeless ministry are James and James oh did i mention my
name is john lol i was blown away …. day 1!!!!
Great John! Way to bring it home!
So hope that as you return to the states, the time that you spend at the Master’s feet will be your holding & directing grace in the days ahead. Can’t remember if I shared this with you before, but my favorite interpretation of grace is: God’s influence upon a heart and it’s reflection in a life. Go in grace & in His love,
