person of interest in our battle

we have a new friend that i would welcome you all to pray for…

his name is french…he is aweosme…he has been helping us for about a month…and he is homeless…but what i mean by helping is exactly what we have been trying to do for a year and we may have one of our first real candidates…inspire the homeless to shift from taking to giving…from enabling to engaging…the deal is that he has been helping us relentlessly and yesterday he was getting beat up…

you see…what happens when you really start going for it, you get attacked in some way or another…that attack comes as your selfishness starts to really get tested…and a huge test comes when you are doing something for a long time and you think no one will notice and you feel alone and isolated…and it becomes a huge test to do something so unnormal and you know or at least feel that no one will take notice or that it will shift in any way the aspirations that you have for change/transformation.

so pray for him…

Luke 22:27 – 31 For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet I am among you as the One who serves. But you are those who have continued with Me in My trials. And I bestow upon you a kingdom, just as My Father bestowed one upon Me, that you may eat and drink at My table in My kingdom, and sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel.” And the Lord said, F141 “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat. But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.”
