Over the past two weeks, we’ve had the incredible privilege of serving those in need and witnessing God move in so many beautiful ways. Every moment reminded us that when we simply make ourselves available, the Lord faithfully works through even the smallest acts of kindness to reveal His love and goodness.
One of the biggest blessings was being able to spend time with a camp that was preparing to relocate before it was cleared out. We had the opportunity to pray with several individuals there, and hearing how much those prayers meant to them was deeply humbling. Many shared that prayer lifted a weight off their shoulders, brought peace to their hearts, and reminded them that they were seen and loved. Moments like that are powerful reminders that God meets people exactly where they are.
We also had the opportunity to serve at Catalyst again this week, which is always such a blessing. We’re incredibly thankful for the extra food we’re able to provide, helping meet the needs of so many while also giving the kitchen staff a much-needed break for the evening. It’s always encouraging to come together in service and fellowship, knowing that every meal shared is another opportunity to show God’s love in a tangible way.
Another special moment this week came while handing out salads from Chick-fil-A at the park. We were unexpectedly reunited with someone we hadn’t seen in nearly two years. At one point, we honestly didn’t know where life had taken him, so seeing him healthy, smiling, and doing well was an answered prayer in itself. He now has his own apartment, is taking great care of himself, and shared that he has no desire to return to life on the streets. It was such an encouragement to see how far he has come and a reminder that God continues to work in people’s lives even when we cannot see it.
One moment that especially stood out happened while we were serving beans and cornbread. A gentleman shared that he had been thinking about cornbread for the last couple of hours, and when we arrived with exactly that, he was completely amazed. He kept asking, “Did you say cornbread?” with the biggest smile on his face. It may seem like a small thing, but it was such a beautiful reminder that we serve an on-time God who cares deeply about every detail, even the simple desires of our hearts.
We also had the blessing of meeting a man named Clyde, who is currently working on rebuilding and reestablishing his life. We were able to spend time talking about the Lord, hearing his testimony, and sharing Scripture together. Conversations like these are always encouraging because they remind us that God is continually drawing people closer to Himself and revealing His faithfulness in every season.
Overall, these past couple of weeks have been filled with opportunities to serve, pray, encourage, and witness the Holy Spirit moving in powerful ways. Time and time again, God revealed His unconditional love to people who simply needed to know they were seen, valued, and not forgotten.
We are so grateful for every person we encountered and every opportunity the Lord gave us to be His hands and feet. Serving others is truly an honor, and everything we do is ultimately for His glory. God is so good, and we remain thankful that He allows us to be part of what He is doing in the lives of others.
