BEAUITY AMONG THE MESS

I decide to share my journey currently here in OKC. A few of us who are a part of Mars Hill have decided to feed the homeless about 4 weeks ago in downtown Oklahoma City on Friday nights so here's some stories I have to share with you. First of all we just bring a Weber grill some hot dogs, cold water, and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

The first week: we had no idea where to set up the grill so we just picked a spot that we thought would be a good place and out of nowhere a man by the name of Quincy a.k.a. Q some how knew what we were up to as if he expected us to come and told us where to set up which turned out to be awesome, we ended up feeding about 35-40 people but at the end of that night I was perplexed about this man Q who I decided was an angel sent to show us the way.

Week two: I meet a man named Nate who was passing through town he was an older man but had a hard dark past Nate said early in his marriage his wife committed suicide which sent him down a path of hard drugs and proclaimed he died a few times of an over dose but was revived, Nate said after a the second time he died he came to the Lord and knows God has a plan for him just can't pen point it in his life, I believe his testimony is something he needs to share every where he goes.

Week three: Quincy came back which foiled my idea that he was an angel but none the less he's probably one of the most enthusiastic people I've meet, and knows the people on the streets, so he's a great help for us. Q took me to the people to see where they hung around to get them familiar with me and I with then, the homeless are vary timid towards unfamiliar people so Q is bridging the gap between us I'm hoping that the homeless will begin to trust us and they are slowly. By the third week were feeding around 55-70 people some come and go some hang around and are very thankful and happy there teaching me a lot in light of faith and gratitude.

Week four: This night was the most heart breaking for me because we encountered a mother and four young children ranging from 4-8 in age who luckily had a place to stay but homeless none the less I personally had to walk away for a minute because I was about to burst out in tears. With all the wealth in the world our children deserve better, in fact not a single person on Gods' green earth should be going to bed hungry there is enough money and food to go around for all. So in closing, I ask the Church what we are doing about the forgotten, homeless, & marginalized people of your city and around the world?
