We seem to be gaining ground in our efforts of building relationships here is South Florida. However, the need is overwhelming, everywhere we look there are lonely broken people, who need God's love. So as soon as we think we are getting somewhere, the tide changes and it appears as though we are loosing ground.


Recently we made a trip back to Missouri to attend our oldest son's wedding, which fell between Christmas and New Years day. With the holidays and the wedding, it took us out of state for two weeks. That is a long time to leave a sprouting ministry unattended. Not to mention a long time to not be working. So as we returned to South Florida, it's as though evil forces were waiting for us to ambush us and steal time and resources. So many bad things have happened (which I wont get into now) in such a short amount of time that we have found ourselves once again questioning if we can even continue to move forward.


One very positive thing that happened was reconnecting with "Sheriff Dan", an older homeless gentleman that lives in a park, under a bridge. He's been dubbed Sheriff because he keeps the peace in the park among the homeless population that live there. When we arrived at the park (with a pizza in hand) he was very glad to see us and was interested in how we were. He introduced us to a few new homeless residents, who had all heard of us and were excited to meet us and seemed very interested in getting involved.

It was encouraging to see that we're already having an impact and are very excited for what God is doing.


However, with being out of work for those two weeks and having the work van break down again, our income has been cut and our expenses have raised dramatically. I know that if God wants us here (and he does) that he will provide as he has provided so many times before. It just seems that at dark times like these, we can feel like we're all alone and hopeless. A lot like the people that we minister to. Please continue sending us encouraging messages and emails, it helps! 


Also, I hope you will join us in praying for provision so we can continue our work. Without your involvement and contribution to this ministry, we would not even be here in the first place. If you feel like God wants you to contribute funds, send me an email and we'll let you know the best way to do that.
