Hey Everyone,

I sit here in complete awe over the power of our Father. Watching him work is such a blessing. I remember back in September we would get together and make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, put those in a back with some potatoe chips and a cupcake along with some candy, and then we would hand our a bottle of water. Then as the Lord saw that we could handle that, he decided to start sending money our way. We began to buy food to prepare for our brothers and sisters on the street. We have cooked fish sticks, hamburger, chicken, turkey, roast and have combined these items with others to provide a high quality meal. That is one thing that I have been most proud about our ministry, that we provide high quality food and love to our brothers and sisters, on and off the street. Now the Lord has seen that we have been good stewards with this, and is now providing all over our food needs from different resources. We now receive aluminum containers full of already prepared meals and all we have to do is heat it up. We also have been givin lots of bread, cupcakes, cookies, garlic bread, and the other day we were given several pork roasts, over 20 jars of peanut butter, a case of speghetti noodles, speghetti sauce, a bunch of cans of tuna and foam containers to serve meals in. I'm sharing all of this with you to let you know that our Father is answering our prayers, he is so loving and awesome! Please continue to pray for this ministry and support us anyway you can, we together with Jesus are making a difference in the kingdom!

Stephanie got the opportunity to join me this past Monday on my food run. It was such a treat to have my wife with me, watching her minister to the lost and hurting. We stopped first down on Front Street and there was a short man with a pony tail flying a sign. I pulled up on the curb and jumped out, Stephanie stayed in the van putting together the hotdogs, hamburgers, peach cobbler, apple crisp and brownies that we were blessed with. I asked the brother if he would like something to eat, he said, "Yes Please." He was very polite and appreciative. While Stephanie was hooking him up with food, I noticed a man walking toward us from under the bridge, he was trying to stay out of the rain. I asked him if he would like to have something to eat, he said he would. Stephanie hooked that brother up too. Then the first guy said to the second guy, " Would you like to share a meal with me?" The second guy didn't understand at first and took offense, and said, " What!? What do you mean?" The first guy explained," I was just wondering if you would like to sit together and have our meal, it would be nice not to have to eat alone." LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, Love is filling our streets! Jesus is setting up residence under our bridges and overpasses! The evidence of Christ's presence is so strong on our streets, I just know true revival is coming! I want to be soaked to the bone in the Holy Spirit, don't you? AMEN!!!!!

Rick and I were out the other day feeding our brothers and sisters. We took out a pan and a half of food along with 4 loaves of garlic bread. We started through the city, it seemed as though we might not find anyone to feed. Then God opened the flood gate! Down by Kemper Arena, there sit a woman flying a sign, I pulled up next to her and asked her if she would like some food and water. We also gave her a full container of lemon cupcakes for later. Then we noticed to our right a bunch of guys sitting against a fence. Some of them were from camp HOBO, and here they came running towards the van. Rick told them to meet us in the parking lot of the gas station and we would hook them up. So I drove the wrong way down a one way street, with Rick yelling out the window, " WooHoo, WooHoo!" We start hooking these brothers up, one after another, just when we thought we were done, here would come more. What a blessing! Then, I get a phone call from Dave the bread man, and he asked me if I would be coming down Independence ave anytime soon. I told him that we were out feeding, and I would be heading that way within the hour, he said okay and we hung up. Rick and I fed many other people as we made our way through the city and on to Independence ave. We pulled up at Bessies house and like always, are greeted with smiles and kind words from everyone. Dave the bread man took me to the back and handed me some booty. (booty- items donated) He then takes me down stairs and starts loading me up with trays of prepared food. Chinese barbeque, ham and beans, speghetti, pork and beans with two packages of bacon. Six containers in all! So Rick and I took out one and a half containers of food, and returned with six containers of food. I think this is a good place for a Bible verse, don't you?

Mark 6:38-40 (The Message)

38But he was quite serious. "How many loaves of bread do you have? Take an inventory."

That didn't take long. "Five," they said, "plus two fish."

39-44Jesus got them all to sit down in groups of fifty or a hundred—they looked like a patchwork quilt of wildflowers spread out on the green grass! He took the five loaves and two fish, lifted his face to heaven in prayer, blessed, broke, and gave the bread to the disciples, and the disciples in turn gave it to the people. He did the same with the fish. They all ate their fill. The disciples gathered twelve baskets of leftovers. More than five thousand were at the supper.

As one of our brothers from camp HOBO says," I am blessed today, do you know why?" "Because the Lord has given me breath in my lungs to live another day." Please pray for our brothers and sisters and please pray for everyone on this mailing list. Our Father is hearing you obviously, by the fruits that are being produced daily. God bless you and your family. Keep pressing into Jesus, because he keeps pressing into you. AMEN? AMEN!
