i was blown away

lemme just start by saying im not sure why i feel the need to post this...i thought it could give some encouragement.

so yesterday i preached at the homeless shelter here in town. dont get your hopes up. i dont have a number for how many people got saved, made professions of faith, or decided to rededicate something, ask jesus into their hearts, etc. (sorry SBC). but i did have some great conversations with a few guys. one had been in prison for about 9 years and while there became a christian and i think memorized the bible. he was more knowledgable about it than i could ever hope to be. that gave me some great hope in reaching these people that sometimes get looked over.

also i talked with a guy who was a former "crack head" (he called himself that so i feel comfortable using it). this man seemed to want to know about Jesus and soke up as much as he could that had anything to do with Christianity. this was great to see as well.

it was odd. i left that place feeling very unworthy and incappable of doing what God has called me to do but i felt a since of comfort too. weird i know.

i guess really what im saying is it was great to experience new communitees of people in a new place in different situations. it was extremely refreashing to actually do some ministry outside of what i am used to.
