Dear Family of faith,
I had the chance to be in Tampa last weekend on Sunday evening to see a movie. When I exited the theater and walked to my car, I noticed about a dozen or so men curled up on the sidewalk under a cement overhang on one of the buildings. They were sleeping or attempting to sleep. It was one of those moments in my life when I was struck by the inequity of life and felt God calling me to do something about it. I hope to return to Tampa streets one night a month with a bundle of blankets to pass out to those people who are living on the street. I can't solve their problems, but I can show some compassion and give them at least one warm night, if not more. If any of you would like to help provide blankets for this ministry; please let me know. For a few years now God has put it in my heart to help those who are cold (since I like to be warm). And if anyone would like to go with me when I go, I would like a companion in this ministry. Let me know. Even as Christians we can't change the world all at once, but we can change life for one person at a time.
