Friday Night Update for 9-13-19
Hello Everyone--
So thankful to have Jackie Mangas and her whole crew officially called "The Greek Ladies" for a great dinner. Zianos bread-sticks, pasta, salad, watermelon and desserts! These women totally serve us and our friends so well--thank you very much ladies!
Thankful to see so many tonight and thankful to NOT see so many. Not seeing some certain friends is a beautiful thing because, they are no longer sleeping outside!!!!! Love that!! We were able to celebrate with one of our oldest friends Diane as she graduated Blue Jacket!!! Needless to say she is ecstatic and she should be!! Seeing her for many years struggling to now working her recovery, being inside and feeling hopeful is AWESOME!!! We also heard some other good news about one of our newest friends as she said she decided to ask Jesus into her heart earlier tonight, and she was smiling ear to ear!!! She has been coming to church with us and a couple others from Charis House and we are thankful to see these women moving forward!!
Thankful to see our friend Dave again. We've been worried about him as we haven't seen him too much. Tonight though he was back out serving with us and that makes us happy!! Thankful for The Rescue Mission as we saw a few old friends who have made their way back. Its bittersweet to see friends. Your on one hand happy to see them, but also realize that means there are some struggles going on and your heart is sad. However, God is working in people's lives and we are thankful there are many places for people who need some help to stay at.
One of our volunteers has been able to speak some truth into a young mans life as he also is struggling. Coming out of prison and starting over is HARD!!! He struggles mentally with his past and needed some extra prayers tonight. Thankful we have volunteers who take the time to speak truth and love to those we serve!! Keep praying for this man as he moves forward in life!!

We are thankful for all of YOU who make each week happen!! Thank you so much and please pray for ALL of our f,friends....there are so many struggling!!
