Family Promise: February 2009 Day 1

The folks we have in Family Promise are among some of the nicest people we have ever had in the program. Last night we had 5 in the program, tonight we will have 7. Our over night hossts cooked breakafast this morning and it was delicious. Thanks to Susan and Michael Brown for the food. Lee and Sheila Walls provided some incredible Chilli Mac for the Sunday evening meal, great food, great fellowship.

Krista, my wife, invited a homeless man named Ryan and his friend Mark to breakfast and to come in out of the rain at the church building. They filled up on pancakes and sausage, and put away alot of hot coffee. Each of them normally stay at the "D" street shelter but the lines were long at the shelter last night and they stayed outside. We were able to give them some new socks and a pair of new shoes to make life a little easier for them.

What a great start to week of serving . . .
