Hope For The Hopeless

So I got off work early today, and I decided to head over to the Baton Rouge Dreamcenter, Winbourne. I called Craig Boutte to see if anyone was there, and if I could help out in any way. He was at home getting lunch, and told me that a homeless woman had just come into our drop-in center and guys were needed to go to her old home and get her things. Come to find out, she had been living at this house for about a month, and the place was infested with cockroaches. Also, some crackheads had broken into her house and stole her tv, and wasn't sure if they were still there. Craig, Charity, Pastor Adam, and me went with the woman to her house, and us guys busted up into her crib. Fortunately, nobody was there.

We grabbed her things, and headed to this woman's homeless shelter, Ms. Green's Woman's Shelter. By the way, the woman has a 4 year old girl, and a seven year old son (was in school at the time). Ms. Green is on fire for the Lord. She owns this 2 story beautiful home, and currently houses around 20 women, and 40 children. She gave us a tour of the facilities, and come to find out, she owns 7 acres of land behind the house. Ms. Green has been running this shelter for 3 years, and not once has had to pay mortgage for the house or property. God has provided for this shepherd beyond anything humanly possible. As for the homeless woman, Charity told me that when she first arrived at the Dreamcenter, she was depressed, but once we arrived at the shelter you told see a dramatic change. She went from hopeless to hopeful, just because true followers of Christ stood up for her, and helped out in a big way. Glory goes to God Almighty!

God gave Ms. Green a vision, and while praying for her, Pastor Adam confirmed this. The vision was that she will be blessed with a five story home right behind her current one, and will be able to house hundreds of women. Pastor Adam and I both decided that we needed to tell Pastor Dino about making her shelter a must do for this years Servolution.

So much more went on today at the Dreamcenter, but I'm exhausted and I must sleep. God bless, and goodnight faithful!
