Tonight we saw how the word pierced through hearts. We read John 4:13-14, which speaks about a well known story: Jesus and the Samaritan woman. This story reveals something so powerful and it motivates new believers to put all their trust and troubles on God. This verse definitely broke chains on that street; planting that seed in them that God is their source of water. Even when there are days where nothing seems to fulfill their needs, He is everlasting. This is the beauty that is so captivating when we preach the gospel, that although the people of downtown may not have homes, or a meal to eat every day, he sustains us and fills us with life. Their full nourishment comes from the Lord, the fountain of all goodness.
With a line of about 60+ people, we all quickly arranged our serving tables and began to serve. Tonight was a hearty kind of night. Plates were served with delicious pasta and meat sauce. The appetizing plate was then followed by refreshing drinks and some beautiful green apples. Everyone seemed very pleased to see the addition of fruit in tonight’s menu. Some even grabbed extra apples to go! As the night was passing by, the last plates were served and quickly came for the most anticipated time in my opinion; Desserts! We had donuts, pies, sugar cookies, chocolate cookies, plenty of cheese danishes and much more! Tonight was packed with love and so much to give. The night continued with the donation of clothes where people quickly paced to see what they could receive.
The night was such a blessing and victory for Jesus! Hearts were reached and loved on, the thing that is the most important to this ministry. We couldn’t have asked for a better night and we all left full of God’s love and grace. We encourage you to join us in prayer like every other week for these people we reach. That God can remain in their hearts and be that everlasting fountain of water they so desperately need.
