The highlight of my day was being able to meet the young man I shared about yesterday. He is 19 and is in a very needy place. He has had to move out of his home and is living/ surviving by bouncing from home to home. He has the clothes on his back and nothing more except a toothbrush and toothpaste and an extra pair of shoes.
We met with him and explained that we were there to help him to the best of our abilities. We inquired as to what needs he had and he began to share with us. We told him that we were going to help and that we would return in a couple of hours to assist. Once he understood that we were on his side and there to help, a smile came across his face.
Wayne and I went to work. We were able to sort through some of our donated clothing and put together a couple of bags of shirts, pants, towels, toiletries and pajamas. From there we went to a local church to pick up some food items and from there it was off to a couple of stores to purchase some good used pants and brand new underwear and socks.
I can tell you that it feels so right to be able to assist in this manner. The next step for us is to see if we can help him find a place to live. It is times like these where I truly wish we had our home up and running. Everything in time, but for now we will do our best to meet practical needs.
I know that we were a blessing to him, and I can tell you we were blessed abundantly also. After we returned back from our ministry I shot the following video. Thanks to all who have faithfully invested in this ministry, we are making a difference. It is God's work to help those in need!!!
