Last Tuesday night Lee Headley, Charity’s cousin, did a great job breaking down Luke 9:23-26 describing what Jesus meant when He said “to take up your cross and follow Me”. It is amazing how God always provides what we need each Tuesday night. Paul was sick that night and there was no one prepared to bring the Word to our group. Lee walked in and asked “how can I help” and Bonnie said “you can preach”. He spent about 30 minutes in preparation and brought a convicting message to everyone. Praise God.
Our ministry is not only to the homeless, but also to the less fortunate in Greenville. Probably about 50% of the individuals we serve have jobs but are poor. Most work at minimum wage and have a difficult time financially. They come each Tuesday night and share a meal with the homeless. They can identify with them because many are one pay check away from being in the same situation. In the past we have helped some financially when they were on the verge of losing their utilities or facing eviction. One such couple was so appreciative that they started assisting us by providing transportation for others in need. This week we had a battered lady who needed a ride to a Spartanburg hospital. She had already made the necessary arrangements for admission but just needed the transportation. This couple that we had helped in the past volunteered to drive to her to Spartanburg. It is such a blessing when we see individuals, we serve, start to help each other.
Please continue to pray for the family that Charity described in the previous post. Since they have now moved from a motel room into an apartment, they are not living in one room for the first time in many months. This is especially important for the little girl. The father is working and we are thankful for the assistance we have received from our ministry supporters and North Hills Community Church. This family will continue to have financial needs as the children prepare to start school. If anyone would like to donate to our ministry for this family, please use the donate button on the blog or contact Paul or Charity.
We continue to be pleased to serve a hot meal each week to our friends in downtown Greenville. This week we served 60 meals with the assistance of 14 volunteers.
