All for God’s Glory!
We can testify that God is truly at work amongst the homeless.
Jeremiah 29:11 states God’s will perfectly: “For I know the plans I have for you; plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.”
Through the lockdown and beyond, we ministered to the homeless on the sidewalks in downtown Nashville with prayer first and love and food and more that they needed.
We saw God’s Glory at work in miracles again and again to save them, heal them, set them on the road to recovery, bring them back to family members, and move them into someplace they could call home.
Adam, who loved peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because he grew up eating them, started talking to his mom, who sent him a bus ticket home, back up north, after more than a decade away.
Diana, a bubbly, elderly mom who is almost certainly legally blind, moved back to a smaller town in Tennessee to be near her adult kids, who wanted her nearby. One of her homeless friends accompanied her to help her settle into a residential hotel safely.
Will’s aunt in another city helped him go home to the midwest to take care of his elderly mom, who was ill, after a lengthy prison sentence in Tennessee. He was going to church with his uncle and working in a factory, and he called back to say, “It’s amazing how many people will help you when you’re doing good.”
These are the plans God has for the homeless, and He knows each one of them personally.
Help us tell their stories so that we see them as God sees them.
