Saturday Off Of MLK

Thank you for your prayers:
- the weather was sunny, about 80 degrees
- we had about 50-60 friendly people who could not believe that people from Ft. Myers, Florida would come and care about them
- we prayed with all the kids and parents
- they were fed free buggers, hot dogs, drinks and chips
- we had ministry items: salvation brackets and tracts; also candy and ballloon animals
- many thanks to Pastor James, Jennifer and the volunteers from Summit Church

The students are doing great! Time fior them to go back and cool off in the lake.

Saturday Ministry

Prayer request - pray for us this afternoon as we minister in a local park to the community. We will be hosting a free cookout with burgers and hot dogs. We will be doing our full program with puppets, clowns, dramas and testimonies. Thanks for all your support. It's kind of a muggy, foggy, overcast morning - so we are praying for great weather too.

South Texas Children's Home

I think you can Goggle to find their website. We had another great time with over 30 preschool thru elementary kids. The kids were amazing with their dramas, clowns, puppets, and testimonies by Robert and Anna. We want to thank Becky and their staff - we provided an egg hunt for the kids and they provided a cookout with burgers, chips and drinks. Praise the Lord for a great time.

Great Night!

I am very thankful to have connection with Pastor James, Summit Church and their people who led us to two bus stops tonight. We passed out free sandwiches, drinks, bibles, salvation bracelets - all used by the Lord to help us with many Divine Appointments. We were able to do one human video near a bus stop, people gathered around and Brandon led a time for them to be prayed for whether salvation or needs they had. It was awesome to see our kids and adults going to the homeless and down and out. People in the USA need Jesus!

The story of the missing luggage

Yesterday my heart sank when we arrived at the ranch and found out the guys had grabbed someone's suitcase by mistake. Russell, our awesome ranch-hand here, called the owner and made contact. They were thankful that the luggage was found and would be returned! But that's not the best part of the story. The woman who was the owner of the suitcase is a lawyer and was in Houston INVOLVED IN A CASE AGAINST A COUPLE THAT HAD BEEN STEALING PEOPLE'S LUGGAGE! She and her husband were so thankful that Christians had found and returned her suitcase. You never know how God is going to use you - we are thankful to be an example to that couple who will be telling stories about those "Christians who were honest and returned my bag."

Everyone is up and enjoying breakfast. Pray for our day and at 5:00 your time we will be going out to minister to people on the streets, partnering with a local church.
