However, even with the temperatures dropping we are still seeing many people stop in and see us when we go out to the streets to worship.
This last week we went to Copley Square, right in the center of Boston, to simply share Jesus with people; we again had free coffee and we sang worship. As John drew the crowd playing his Saxophone I went out to ask how I could pray for people; so many people were broken and hurting.
She insisted she did not need prayer and life was all good. She did want a free coffee though. As we talked I asked her about her life. She told me she was addicted to drugs and had no home. I asked her if she ever prayed and she said sometimes. I told her that Jesus had not forgotten her and she asked me to pray for her. We prayed God would provide a place for her to live; she wanted to believe for this but confessed she found it hard to trust -Maureen
God works in so many ways. Sometimes he leads us to people who are ready to receive Him, who hear the gospel and are instantly renewed. Sometimes he leads us to plant seeds with those who are losing faith, like Maureen and other times we are simply placed there to listen and love people.
Who knows what a simple "God Bless" spoken to in love does to a person who just strolls past? Who knows what hearing worship does in a persons heart as they run by? We serve a mighty, awesome God whose plans are so far beyond anything we ca perceive or imagine.
Next week we are going to Connecticut to speak at a young adults group as well as leading a youth group service in Worcester; please pray that we would be open to all God wants to do. We will keep you posted...
