Hey all,
we met a guy named Chris about a month ago. He has no legs and he was sitting by the highway panhandling, reading a bible and holding a cardboard sign. we came around to the spot later and found him at a bus stop nearby. After talking to him for a little while, we were sure that we should be family to this brother. He's one of us!
he doesn't ask for a lot. He's just falling through the cracks in the system. I'd like to eventually be able to have him close enough to us for us to be family to him on a daily basis. We'll be meeting with the church leaders of the church he used to attend. that is one very wealthy church (14 million dollar building under construction, now). We're hopeful that if we will "family" this brother that they will help with moving him out of the welfare hotel he's in, now.
Two days ago Chris called us for the first time since we met him. He asked if we might help him out. When we arrived, he was gaunt, malnourished, and at the end of himself. He doesn't get enough to eat, and the food he gets is mostly bad nutrition. If he had legs, he'd be working and fine, but he had to lose those to find Jesus, some years back.
Please pray with us and get in touch if you can help us. There's lead poisoning, monty got locked up last night, and Chris... we're beginning to really want to touch these lives... we're getting messed up by this... in a god way.
