Welcoming 2015
4:50 PM
Monday night kicked off the beginning of this exciting new year of 2015! Rock of life Ministries is more than excited to start our first week serving the streets of Downtown Miami. Yesterday was jam packed with obstacles left and right but we had the complete victory though Jesus Christ! Last Monday (01/05/15), led me to remember when I once asked myself a silly question: What could lead us to cancel an outreach night? And I received a response: “we never do, rain or not we go”.
The night I asked this, it raining intensely and I thought that it would've been easier to just cancel that night. But little did I know that through that response, Jesus taught me to have a deeper appreciation for this ministry I dearly love.
Yesterday was the day that Jesus made me realize why that response was given. I understood that there’s a responsibility we have and it's an honorable one. The enemy will always try to set obstacles, but we, the ministry, and you, where ever God has called you, have to say no to the easy way out and YES to the fight. Last Monday, not once did I have doubt that the night would be canceled. I was so firmly confident that Jesus would finish the good work He started and that nothing could come in between that. It’s so easy for us to give up when we face struggles of many kinds, but Jesus always has the last word. I got closer to understanding the heart that Jesus has for this ministry, he never gives up and has such a deep love for those at downtown.
With all that being said, the circumstances of yesterdays outreach night fit in so perfectly with the word preached. The main verse was in Philippians 4:13.
As the message quickly finished, we all united in prayer and started the serving of food. We gave out plates of warm rice and beans with a delicious beef stew. The food was so great that many were complementing on the chef’s food that night.
At the end of the night, we united in a prayer circle. This year started off on such a great note, and we all are so expectant to continue seeing Gods gracious hand over this ministry. Thank you for the continuous support on our blog. Catch us next week for our new update. God bless
