then sunday morning two more guys joined us for church at the annex and then at hiland.... (cheif and marc) cheif had never been to church and by the end of the 2nd service he couldn't stop crying....slammin! long story short...last nite me and craig went back under the bridge and just held cheif as he cried and asked all these tough questions about life,God and tragedy.you see, cheif's wife died and then 2 of his kids died in iraq serving in the military this year and thats when he hit the streets.
so last nite he just broke down crying and so me and craig just held the brotha and prayed and cried with him. while he was crying he said," i guess ive never really mourned the loss of my family and now its hitting me." i now have a new understanding of the bible when it says to mourn with those who mourn....i didn't have answers...so i just held him,mourned and prayed. then this morning we helped him get
cleaned up and on his way home to Arizona with his family...
then on top off that we got marc off the streets and into his new home at the ascension house in B.R... all GOD! "all of heaven rejoices when one that was lost comes home!"-luke 15:10----5 days ago there supposedly was 7500 homeless people in B.R. well, as of today there must be 7497.....may not seem like a big difference but ask marc,cheif, and alex....its a big difference to them....not to mention all of heaven is rejoicing. CHANGE THE WORLD BY SERVING ONE

Good point Phil!
Jason this is awesome!
It's so awesome to think that because of God's favor on your life and his blessings upon your ministry, you were able to be a part of making 3 men UNhomeless!
I will keep the Bridge Campus in my prayers.
It's such an honor and a privelege and a LEARNING EXPERIENCE (i.e. priority over pleasure,etc.) to serve at Refuge under you and your marvelous Jennifer.
Thank you for making a difference in this world.
Do the work of the ministry!!!
He that is faithful in a very little thing will be faithful in much.
God has a way of using the insignificant to accomplish the impossible. Thanks for lighting the candle of His love that will light the way for another.
