Time out for David!

Last Sunday, The Gathering was blessed to get to know David and La'Tice. They arrived on foot: tired, weak, hungry, smelly and homeless. But during "share time", David wanted us to know the gratitude that was on his heart. In spite of his abusive childhood, two prison terms, former dependency on illegal drugs, inability to read or write, and his conversion to Islam, he discovered God's love and had turned his life back to the awesome Creator! This tale of redemption reminded us why it is that we continue to take part in this ministry. God is at work in this world and is looking for people to join Him. Sometimes that looks like a smile or a hug, sometimes that looks like a plateful of sandwiches, sometimes that looks like a ride in our vehicle, and sometimes that looks like something much greater or smaller. But, God (one of my favorite phrases) is truly at work! HALLELUJAH!
