We fed the hungry, helped the poor

Oh how God has been moving!!! This week we have seen so many things. What has really hit me was the soup kitchen, passing ou blankets to the homeless, and going to the drug rehab center and holding tank.
 

At the soup kitchen we served over two hundred people and shared the gospel with all of them. God provided that day! After everyone had gone through the line we were completely out of food. Can you believe we had enough to serev every person that came out to eat. It was a miracle by God. Also while we were there many prayed to accept Christ. I get chills just thinking about it.

At midnight, we all loaded up into the van and drove out towards downtown Lima. We went out on the streets and passed out blankets to the homeless and the poeple on the streets. We shared the gospel to over forty people that night and gave them bibles. That night I heard a drug addict sing hymns, a drunkard share the gospel like I had never heard before and a 16 year old prostitute ask me to take her 11 month old daughter back to the states with me. That night my eyes were opened to a whole new world. God gave me a heart to love these people and a want to help them anyway I can. I wish I could speak to them and a hold a conversation with them without a translator but maybe next time. God blessed me that night, I have so much yet I take it for granted everyday. These people have nothing yet are so content. They may be the "least of these" but God loves them and He calls me to love them like he does and to "GO" and share the gospel and the love of Christ to them.

I was able to share my testimony to a group of boys in a holding tank, there were five of them. They were there because they had either been victims of rape or were the perpetrator. I shared with them how God has taken me out of my darkness and never gave up on me, even when I drew away from him for four years. I have been a victim of abuse, not to a physical extent but mentally. and my family drifted away, especially my mom and I. God never gave up though. I feel that God aloud that obstacle in my life to happen because Iwas able to share a testimony that related to those boys. That day all five boys accepted Christ. Our God uses our testimonies and obstacles to relate to people and that day I was able to relate to them. I may have suffered in the past but God used it in away that I never would have dreamed of.

I praise a God that rejoices when only one was saved, this past week my God was partying because over a hundred are now going to His kingdom to spend eternity with Him.
