Thanksgiving

We are thanking God for all your prayers and support as the love of Jesus brought to everyone this holiday season!

A prayer was answered Sunday evening when an employer called with 10 three-week positions. This week three of the Lord's lambs have begun working fulltime. They received gifts of work boots, food, and gas from an area church and missionaries. Depending on the work schedule, the three have rotated through missionaries' home during the week. One wants to stay substance free and considers going into a home for recovering addicts once he meets the house requirements. Thank You Jesus! They are all so happy to have direction and hope to get out of the woods that are rapidly disappearing around them. Please keep them in your prayers as they are only assured of work for three weeks.

The couple that moved into assisted living in Wendell lost those placements and are again looking for places to stay. They have been blessed with a motel room for a short time. Please pray for the Lord's guidance as they try to enter another facility that meets their needs.

Thanksgiving Day was such a blessing! Missionaries who regularly minister on Thursday nights arrived this time to see dozens of volunteers and homeless waiting for them. As many hands helped unload cars and bring in food, others went into the parking lot and camps, personally inviting those they found to the Lord's Thanksgiving Feast.

It was awesome to see the new missionaries mingling with the lambs, sharing stories, finding out about needs and offering help as they were led by the Lord. Some received coats and blankets, others dog food and cat food for their pets in the woods. But everyone received the assurance that people care about them and are willing to share a meal with them even during this hectic holiday time!


Please pray for a vision shared by one missionary of a business that will employ the homeless without regard to their past work histories or criminal records, helping them find housing as well. Please pray the kerosene account be replenished in time for the coming cold weather. Several of the homeless rely on kerosene heaters.

One of the Lord's lambs, suffering from what may be sciatica, received treatment and prayers from several missionaries -- including some who had experienced the same problem themselves. One missionary, celebrating her birthday, was blessed to have two versions of Happy Birthday sung in her honor. She also received phone calls, gifts, and cards signed by so many of the lambs she knows and loves. God is so good!

A lamb who had been living off Poole Road has returned to Garner. Please pray he will heed the dozens of invitations he received to come to church!

Please keep one of the Lord's lambs in your prayers. He has been substance free for 10 months but still suffering from alcohol related health issues. He was released from the hospital last week and staying in a friend's apartment.

The medical mobile unit will be at With Love From Jesus November 30th beginning at 6:30.

We are thanking Jesus for each of you being a blessing to so many!
God Bless
