Where do I start? People calling because of the sign on our bus; a pregnant homeless person in our bus yesterday whom we prayed for, and by the time we were done she was crying because of the love of Christ; a relationship built with a guy named Red who would love for us to reach out to him and 27 other people with a meal; even in talking with people whom I already know well, they see how God is orchestrating everything we do for His glory. It can't help but to impact their lives. God has supplied us with people, some famous, to encourage and support us. He has supplied us with phone numbers for people in the specific areas we planned to go. Even when we aren't feeding the homeless God is using our ministry to reach people. And all this in only the last couple of weeks! The Sunday services (all at different churches from VA to NJ to FL) have been seemingly specifically for me. I can go on and on. There are so many homeless people in the Ft. Lauderdale area. I had a lady in Broward County asking for our help, however this would be huge; an outreach to 439 homeless. It is a little above our capabilities, but with God nothing is impossible. This would work a little differently than what we set out to do in that we wouldn't actually be able to build that relationship so the spiritual aspect of the feeding would be missed. We are going to reach out to a group of 28 homeless next week as soon as I get a church interested. Please pray for this, and whether we should reach out to the 439 people at the Love Thy Neighbor facility (this would take weeks to put together), or if we should move on to our contacts in central Florida. All for God's glory.
Peace & Grace

Doug - So glad to hear that the Lord is opening MULTIPLE doors. Hard to know which one to walk thru? Paul had the same problem! The Lord opened a door for Paul at Troas, but he did not feel a peace about it because he was unable to find Titus. As a result, he left for Macedonia (2 Cor.2:12-14) and vs.14 shows that he was "confident" that the Lord would still lead and guide in spite of his uncertainty about which door to walk thru. I like to use and old Yogi Berra quote to illustrate: "When you come to a fork in the road, TAKE IT!" :-) The Lord will always make it "work" when we are unsure but walking with Him!
We are at Gore, GREAT DAY today! Going to Tremblant for a week on Friday.
Miss you guys, Love you!

Sounds exciting. We were in FLA last week and you could have stopped in. Of course we were near Orlando. We are standing with you in prayer.
