I have always had a heart for the broken and lonely. About a year and a half ago I started praying for some kind of opportunity to help homeless people. Last summer I went to a pastor at our church and expressed my desire to help in our community, but it didn't go anywhere. I kept praying about it, but I eventually stopped praying about it, busy with life, the family and work. A full year later I met a lady (it seemed so random at the time) who had been conducting a Park Church for the homeless for the past five years. I asked her who was helping her and she told me noone, just me and my friends at the park. I asked her if I could join them, and since then I have been able to be at the park with the lonely, broken and hungry. I am so grateful that even thou I had forgotten, God never did! He answered my prayers when I seemed to forget.
The door was opened and now I spend every Tuesday and Thursday mornings with my friends at The Park.
Thank you Jesus!
