It’s summertime!
Teens are at the beach or partying at
friends’ houses. Families are travelling
in the car or at the mall escaping the heat.
But who might have time to help the homeless receive water and
nourishment preventing dehydration and untimely deaths?
“O Lord, through the praise of
children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to
silence the foe and the avenger.” Psalm
8:2
But we give praise to God! This past weekend, Christ who lives in the
homeless received rescue from unlikely heroes; many CHILDREN (photos), their
moms and dads made life a little better for hot, thirsty and starving homeless
people, 70,000 + in Southern California and beyond. It was an outpouring of love in our city
streets, under bridges and in parks ranging from central Ventura to Chinatown
and downtown Los Angeles.
“God has chosen the foolish things of
the world to shame the wise; God has chosen the weak things of the world to
shame the strong.” 1 Corinthians 1:27
Enjoy the pictures from the weekend!
