Cold and Wet

Last Tuesday night was miserable. It was cold and raining “cats and dogs” which means the homeless and volunteers were all soaked after hauling the food from the parking lot to the kitchen. Although it was uncomfortable, the volunteers could not complain because they can go home later and take a hot shower and get into dry clothes. No such luck for the homeless. Fortunately, Truine Mercy Center has a clothes dryer and many homeless put on a change of clothes while their wet clothes were in the dryer. This place can be a real oasis for not only for food and shelter, but also where they can meet simple needs like drying their wet clothes.

On a night like this many needed coats and blankets. Volunteers from North Greenville University came through again by providing these items for the homeless. Also, students from the Evangelical Institute came in force to assist. Lincoln, who is one of the students, led the Bible study that night for Paul. With their assistance, we served 65 hot meals.
