On Monday we started handing out lunches to the kids of Albany, Cohoes, and Troy in New York. We make about 700 lunches in the morning and then we pack them in coolers and send them out in 3 different vans with about 4-6 people in each. Each van has about 7 or 8 stops. We greet each kid and give them a milk and a choice between Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches or a meat sandwich (ham or turkey).
We go to parks, churches, the YMCA and neighborhoods to hand out the food. Its fun just getting to see the little chunks and talk to them.
Yesterday my team was in Troy and we went through the neighborhoods and there was a kid who is deaf. His family used to be pastors so they let us pray over this 15 year old boy. He had the best smile and a countenance of love and compassion. Although, he wasn't healed yesterday, we know that that boy WILL hear and WILL be a witness for God soon! Amen
We have made a lot of connections with the children here and will have many more. Tomorrow we are going to the City pool to swim with the kids and play with them before and after the vans come. It'll be a blast.
Each night we've been having Revival services. There is a ministry team from Toronto, Canada here and they are from all over the world (Australia, London, Austria, Holland, France etc). They have been preaching and ministering each night which has been awesome. Their main focus has been on Matters of the Heart and inner healing. Aperture, a christian rock band, has been here as well and have played once. Their fresh sound and fervor is breathtaking. They are playing again tonight and our team is going to be ministering. God is going to do amazing things as we bust through the heavenly doors and allow the Holy Spirit to ROCK our Hearts!!
Chew on this verse as it will be the next topic I write about in a couple days... 2 Timothy 2:10 "I suffer for the sake of the whole body." said Jesus. Is that just the suffering on the Cross or did he suffer in many ways?
