Another highlight for me today was when I stepped out of a clothing store downtown to wait for my team (we were looking for more warm clothes) and I saw several homeless folks sitting against the building. I hugged my sweater more tightly around my shoulders and commented "Its been an awful cold summer, hasn't it?" Soon I was sitting on the chilled pavement with Roderica (from Romania) and Junior (a Londoner), and after several minutes of empathy and conversation I asked if I could pray for them. Holding Roderica's hand, I got to do so. They thanked me warmly and Junior said he "fancied that prayer". Afterwards, I explained that I was sleeping on church floor myself so didn't have a room to offer, but asked if they had everything they needed- offering to get them warm drinks and such. I spent less than ten minutes with them, but it was probably the best part of my day- getting to tell these precious people that God loves them and getting to demonstrate that truth.
Please pray for Roderica and Junior.
