In addition to the Tuesday night Broken Pieces Outreach we do every week in the open-air on Whitehall Street, and the Sunday outreaches in and around Woodruff Park, BPOM has begun a new monthly outreach at a transitional housing facility in the West End area of Atlanta called "Making A Way Housing". We had our first outreach there last week, and will be going there the last Thursday night of every month.
A team of volunteers from Abundant Life Assembly of God in Jackson, led by Josh and Alicia Gentle are partnering with us for this monthly outreach, and are preparing the meals as we serve the people there.
This past Thursday night, we had about 25-30 people show up from the facility. We fed them a spaghetti dinner, and just got to know them for about the first hour and a half. Then, we had a dear brother, Mark Gibson, share his testimony with everyone. Many of those present were visably moved, and it softened many hearts.
I then stood and preached a short message on being delivered from life controlling addictions through absolute surrender to Jesus Christ, and through faith in Him. When I gave the altar-call several men and women came forward, with every head up and every eye opened, to commit themselves to Jesus Christ, as Lord and Savior!
We also saw two people healed by the power of God, in the name of Jesus Christ!
There was so much food left over, we all decided to go to a large parking lot behind Garnett Station in Atlanta and offer a spaghetti dinner to the homeless who sleep there. We were able to feed and minister to about forty of them.
At the end of the night, souls were saved, bodies were healed and lives were forever changed. WE LOVE THIS STUFF!!!
