All for God’s Glory
Our God is Jehovah Roi, the God who sees you. He knows each one of our homeless neighbors personally, and He has very specific plans for each of them. Just like He does for you and me.
I can personally testify that God is truly at work among 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, I ministered to the homeless on the sidewalks in downtown Nashville with prayer first, and then love, relationship, community, and compassion, along with meeting physical needs, including food, clothing, sometimes medicine, and much, much more.
I 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 would 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 to New Jersey, 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 Knoxville helped him go home to Ohio to take care of his elderly mom, who was ill, after a lengthy prison sentence in Tennessee. He started going to church with his uncle and began work at 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 so much more.
Will you help me tell their stories in this documentary ministry project so that we lift them up before God and people?
