Hi
I have been out with Wilmar( the street educator) on the streets, we have put together some tricks, testimonies bible stories and songs. After gathering about 15 children and mothers, including waking some of the older girls from around the bay area. Wilmar had the children and mums stood with a prayer to start. It was almost like a little street church!We sang some songs,as I was stood there in front of them looking at the joy on their faces as they sang and clapped the Lord just gave me a glimpse of his heart for these people, it began to break mine. After some gospel magic, testimony and the story of the lost son, Wilamar bought everyone food and drink and we had some play time. As we left I knelt to pray with my arms around some of the children and the mums and just knew Jesus was there, my question that has been in my mind all week, Just where is Jesus in all this? was finally answered. The prayer flowed from my lips with simply requests food for the day, protection, love to surround them, Jesus was there those words of his echoed round my mind "let the children come" he said as he blessed them.
Thankyou for following the blog it has helped me to think through the enourmous things we have seen and and experienced and special thanks to Mark A, Ian and malc for giving me the prividge of seeing God's work here. It is an experince that Has changed me for life.
Blessings
Mark
