We are continuing to meet with homies that we found under the bridge.  The man that speaks english and is kinda looking after them is named Manny.  We have nicknamed them the Bridge Boys.  They like it say it sounds like s singing group.  They seem to be cleaning up some but still live in indredible squalor, some still in an alcoholic daze.  They seem to like our Spanish mags and talks.  Please pray for us and them, that we are able to serve them and interact with them in a healthy way.

The Homies and Holy Ground

Posted by: Shining | Sat, Aug 11, 2007 10:39 pm | Tag(s): Testimonies | 1 Comment | Permalink |

 I want to tell you a story about Soquel Camp meeting that I just learned last night.

 

The son of one of our members has made some bad choices, including drinking and leading a gang. He wasn’t supposed to be at camp meeting but he came with about 15 of his homies. They were on the top of the hill, having beer parties, and looking for trouble. They went to the nearby town of Watsonville and got in the face of some homies there, then hussled back to our camp ground.

 

The Watsonville homies were spittin’ mad and followed them. Challanged “our” homies to a rumble right there. For some reason the leader of the Watsonville pack asked what our emcampment was all about anyhow. Someone told him it was a church camp. In the dialog that followed the Watsonville gang found out camp meeting is a spiritual retreat. He asked what we do. He was told that we talk about Jesus and how to live good lives. He then said, “Hey we cant spill blood here. This is holy ground. That’s not right We didn’t know what this place was.”

 

The person telling me was one of the ones called to help try to deal with the trouble but by the time he got there, to everyone’s amazement, all the homies were shaking hands and apologizing!!!!!

 

Praise the Lord.  It should give us gratefulness and peace to know that our Heavenly Father has everything in control.

 

The Watsonville homies were actually invited to our youth meetings but to our knowledge did not come. Please pray for these young men, who, though they are doing many wicked things, have a respect for holy ground. Pray that the HS will fan that action into a turning to His kingdom.

Harry Potter and other things that are of Satan!

There are so many children that are being deceived by Satan with Harry Potter and other things of the Devil.

So my prayer request is that we pray that all people that watch, read, and play with things of Satan will have opened eyes and God will keep working in all our hearts because we all need His help to stop Satan from trying to take God’s children captive.

Deuteronomy 18:9-12 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations. 10There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch. 11Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer. 12For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
