Hello Christian brothers and sisters
I'm a fairly new Christian and am feeling drawn by the spirit to minister to people I encounter on the streets.
I've never witnessed before and am concerned as to how it will be received when most I talk to are very upset and bitter about being homeless.
I have given out socks and new toothbrushes and toothpaste, deodorant and bar soap and washcloth and towels, a comb and baby powder for the heat, a pillow and clean pillow case and food and tee shirts.
But not the good news.
I feel it would be ill received.
Most got evicted or their room mate left for what ever reason and most lost their jobs too, so couldn't make rent.
Shelters are mostly filled so getting a bed is difficult.
So I encounter people sleeping on the streets or on the beach or at parks.
Shall I pray over them?
The biggest issue they tell me privately is the others who watch them and if they receive any help, they get robbed of the goodness of my heart giving to them.
Its all true, the wolves are watching.
