Never have we been more active than now in this ministry. That is why I am so backed up again on getting posts made. We have so many new things going on that the Lord is laying on my heart. We started in two of the three new cities so far. We are in Wilson, NC. and Rocky Mount, NC. working with Anthony & Maria Bank. Wilson started on kind of slow with not many people out on July 4th weekend. We will continue to seek guidance on what we are to do there. For Rocky Mount we were able to get into an area off of Cokey Street where it was very rough. There were so many boarded up houses that it reminded me of our work in Detroit years ago. What was even more shocking was seeing how many houses had bullet holes in them. I am talking house after house!
We started out ministering to three guys with one of them being very mouthy. There was another guy that was really touched and surprised that we were stopping in this neighborhood to minister to people. He actually told us not to leave because he and his family needed prayer. He started walking away and turned and said "make sure you don't leave. He returned with a dad and two kids. I am not sure what the relationship was between the two guys. The dad holding the youngster told us of a car pulling up in front of their house and opening fire on the house in which his daughter in the blue was standing right in the door way.
The dad went on to explain everything that he witnessed happening right before his eyes. He thought for sure that he was going to lose his beautiful daughter that day. He said "she was standing right in front of the door when the shooting began and as I heard the sounds of gunfire it was like an angel was standing right in front of my daughter moving his hands and ricocheting the bullets into the brick of the house. He was so thankful that his children were not injured or killed. We prayed with the family then drove around so that we could see the house. It was just as he described with being able to see where the bullets struck all around the door. He asked that we continue to pray for them on a regular basis. He said "I love my kids and do not want to lose them to the violence". Anthony and I ministered to them extensively. Then asked us to please come back which we will. We ministered to others but this family was the highlight of the trip!
We will be getting back to both locations soon. Please pray for laborers to come out into the harvest. The streets are getting much more dangerous every day!
Matthew 9:37 Then He *said to His disciples, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 38 "Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest."
We will not be starting Jacksonville until August but we are still very excited about getting over there. A special thank you to all that pray for and financially support this ministry. You are helping us to reach the lost for Jesus! God Bless you!
