The Lord is bringing flocks of His lambs to church every week from the Raleigh Rescue Mission, a Cary Oxford home, those lambs who are now in apartments, and those still living in the woods. He is "gathering His flocks"!
A missionary now needs a van to bring everyone from the Raleigh Rescue mission. A lamb called this week asking if even more would be able to attend church and the lunch afterwards. The Lord blessed His lambs with a meal and phone calls to family members after church each week. Several lambs were overheard telling their loved ones he was "at a welcoming home, he had been brought to church, and fed lunch. Yes, they do this every weekend. Anyone who wants to come" Please pray for driving angels. The missionary who drives for the Raleigh Rescue Mission is on vacation this weekend. The missionaries who drive for the non-sheltered homeless already have their cars overflowing. Without additional driving angels these lambs will not be able to attend church bringing blessings to so many.
Driving angels were able to bring two lambs to church Sunday from Fuquay. Thank you Jesus! The couple just moved into an apartment in Fuquay. Please pray for the Lord's provision of furniture. Contacts were made Sunday in missionaries' homes by some of the lambs (God is so good!) but more furniture is needed. There are no beds and 1 dresser. They are sleeping on the hardwood floors. Their three children will be returning to them in the near future.
This Sunday's lunch crowd was 17. A lamb from an Oxford home donated $5 to the missionaries Sunday afternoon to help with either gas or food. God is the ultimate provider! Harris Teeter had chicken leg quarters on sale for $0.29 a pound and the $5 was able to purchase enough meat for next week's lunch. Imagine the lamb's heart knowing his "2 fish and 5 loaves" will feed so many next week. What a blessing to be such a blessing!
The Lord placed an angel in missionaries' mist Sunday. He was selecting molded bread for breakfast from a garbage pile when they drove up to unload "deli trash". He wore a size 13 shoe but was wearing a size 10.5. As you can imagine his feet were literally bursting the shoes. His socks had more holes than Swiss cheese. The missionaries asked he wanted something to eat and if he wanted to go to church. He said "yes" to both. He told a missionary how he was trying to get home and had asked four churches closest to the Raleigh bus station for a bus ticket home; they could even walk to the station, purchase it and watch him get on the bus. He was turned down all four times. He asked at the Apex church he attended Sunday. The adult ministry pastor searched online for tickets, unable to purchase it online and gave the missionary the cash to purchase the ticket. The Lord provided shoes and socks for the lamb while he was fed. The lamb was driven to the Raleigh bus station at 3:25. Unknowing to either, his bus was leaving at 3:40. He was able to take the bus to see his aunt that day. God is amazing! Missionaries' son bought a country music CD with the song "What if She's an Angel". The day reminded missionaries how sometime angels are placed in people's lives teaching compassion to witness God's glory shining.
Last week a lamb was taken a bus to Wilson to a halfway home. Upon arriving at the home, he was told he wasn't welcome because he is disabled. He called a missionary and the overseer of the home told her the same thing. He spent the night at the Wilson bus station, taking a bus back to Raleigh. He was detained by the Raleigh police for sleeping at the bus station, no ticket. God with His perfect timing placed him passing the bus station the same time the missionary was leaving. He has been staying with missionaries while searching for a place to live. He has a continuing care appointment August 22nd with his new continuing care counselor. He also needs surgery. He has an appointment for a referral today. He has spent his days with social services and looking for apartments. His income is limited to his disability check, limiting his apartment choices to something under $250 per month. Please pray for the Lord's provision of a home and a surgeon for this lamb.
The Lord has changed the lamb who asked Jesus into his heart and life July 3rd. He is almost at peace with many of his situations. The missionaries are in awe of the Lord as He changes hearts, wrapping His beloved in His new garments.
A missionary is editing the book Out of the Wild by Matt Lobel. Photographs were taken last night for this book and study, "How to Find Your Mission". The Lord provided a blessed meal last night of meatloaf, green beans, potatoes, and éclair pie. The Lord provided so many lambs for the meal, hugs, and prayer. The bible study continued with Nehemiah 6. Lambs read the Word to the group and discussed His Word. What a blessing to know Jesus is standing in the gap for each of us. Brothers and sisters in Christ also stand in the gap for each of us. The lambs also discussed how the enemy tries to discourage people, God never does. They also discussed how not standing firm with the Lord is disobedience. A new lamb blessed the group with the Lord's wisdom.
One of the Lord's visually impaired lambs is having problems regulating her seizures. She is being taken to the ER several times this month. Please pray for the Lord's healing and the wisdom of the doctors.
One of the Lord's hearing impaired lambs received a hearing aid this week. He will also be moving into an apartment in September. He had been praying it would be earlier, but the apartment isn't completed yet. Please pray for the repairs of his moped. The part has been ordered but hasn't arrived. He will also need mechanical assistance once the part arrives.
A sister in Christ dropped toiletries off at a missionary's home yesterday. These are needed for the medical mobile unit. Thank you Jesus for being the Lord of provision!
The next mobile medical unit will be August 31st from 6-8 PM.
There is such a need for driving angels and brothers and sisters in Christ who want to be part of support circles. The driving angels bring the Lord's lambs to church, grocery shopping, and appointments. The support circles provide support with phone calls and visits.
We are thanking the Lord for you, your hearts, your hands, and your prayers.
