So a few weeks ago we showed up to the park to do our normal Saturday morning breakfast, we set up our tables and got all the food out while everyone was eating we noticed a guy sitting in the parking lot in his car. After a few minutes I walked over to his car, knocked on the window and invited him to join us.
After a few minutes of drinking coffee, I inquired why he was there. He started explaining how his car won't go into gear. One of our regulars jumped up with his flashlight, headed over to his car and worked on it, before long, it was working. I am sure he was pretty greatful.
The interesting thing is, he keeps coming back. Every Saturday he shows up, has coffee, eats some breakfast. He's not homeless, he has a job, I think he even has two jobs.
So why does he keep coming back? This thought has been going through my mind a lot this week. One thing I know is that people crave community. They want to belong to something, they want to feel like they are a part of something.
Please pray that every week that we spend at the park that these lives will be impacted with God's Love and that everything we do and say will show God's love in a practical way.
We have realized that we live in a very different city, there is a lot to do here and we can't do it alone! We need to develop a team of people who will pray for us everyday. And so we're doing it, Starting February 1st, we will email out one very short prayer request everyday. Will you join our prayer team and take a moment to pray for us every day. Email us at remerge@hotmail.com if you would like to join. You may live very far away but you can impact the lives of the people of this city too!
