The day was great a lot prayers went up to the Lord. I read that homeless faces are changing.
I can tell you we are we seeing more and more Families. The struggles are growing and they are starting to seek the only place with the answers Christ our Lord. We were very privileged to have 
Gateway send water and follow us it made a good partnership. We also met another church that does a monthly feeding. I believe that every time we go it is confirmed we are where need to be.

Military Salute

This video was done at the request of one of our own who said the vets of the street need a voice so Hotdogs and Hope will have something to take to Churches and groups to explain the problems don't go way when you ignore them they just take a different form. I tried to understand what he was taking about. We hear the stories of guys coming back and not fitting into the mainstream. I did something that I could only image, because I can't count myself among these hero's and HERO's they are by all accounts. I started asking questions and really listening to my boss who was in the Big Red One. He still has problems sleeping and talking about that time in his life. To the guys I meet on the street who are carrying mental/physical scares that don't seem to fade they just get ignored.I don't understand why we can make fighting machines out humans but don't want to deal with the results and consequences of those that have wounds. I read the homeless vets stats. the results were totally shameful and disgraceful. These extend back to the civil war. If I had to make a guess since wars began, this has always been an issue. I know that I may come across a little strong , but those are the facts. I hope I did the men and women justice in my feeble attempt to tell the story with pictures and stats. Thanks Ron for the push.

This was day that the Lord had made for sure. The day started with 15 volunteers rolling hotdogs.
Four new people, 3 from PCW (Professional Christian Woman), and 2 visiting from the New Life Church. When we walk outside we knew that the day was special, the weather was prefect and peaceful. When we arrived at the first stop, we had a good prayer circle. Javier gave the word in English and Spanish, it was very special I thought. We were also join by more volunteers from Gateway Church. They brought Brats for the Vets and water for the street. The day got even better when we had the Prayer Circle, a woman wanted to lead out with songs, which was most gratifying. Javier followed the word with prayers to close.

People can Change


I was getting a update from Tom yesterday on the previous Saturday. He was spoke of a man that sometime last year joined one of our Prayer circles;Tom explained that the man listened to the Scriptures that were receipted with the prayers.The man explained to Tom that those words spoken that day worked on him about how his actions got him on the street,but he realized he needed to change his way. He now gives the Lord praise everyday for helping him with his job, his provisions and everything that comes his way. He even shares Gods word with other people on the street. He knows when he is fully ready God will get him off the street. Please pray for this man pray that he continually finds the strength through Christ as well as the others that still seeking a new path.
