Sunday afternoon took us to the streets of Berkeley with bagged lunches, towels, shirts, bedding, socks and an attitude to become welcoming friends & prayer intercessors. This team is BOLD, COURAGEOUS, and SOOOO WILLING to be Jesus with skin on. There was not a person ignored, or slighted...all were engaged in conversation and love. The prayers that were spoken, the hugs that were given (and received) and the stories we heard were amazing. Our God was glorified all afternoon. We were encouraged by the love given to us, the words of hope that were spoken and the toughness to keep going. But we came home changed...we know names of new friends, we looked into the eyes of those we might not have spoken to before today...and most of all, we are changed to remember and to pray for these we met today. We are changed to look for new friends in our backyard.
