God loves these people

Over the past few weeks we have witnessed so many dramatic events unfold on the streets of Austin, it's staggering. Unfortunately a lot of what we saw are things we would like not to have happened.
One of our friends had passed out on a parking lot behind a dumpster and somehow a dump truck mangled and dragged him nearly to death without noticing it. He has been in the ICU for weeks now and the doctors are still fighting for his life. Another of our friends was released from prison less than a year ago after serving several years for assault. He was arrested 2 weeks ago for nearly killing another friend of ours from the street.
One married couple is splitting up because pride is making one person see their rights as more important than their spouses rights ... and even more important than what is right. Another couple loudly and dramatically was fighting in the open about money that was spent on drugs that they intended to sell, but ended up using themselves. Now they have no money to go see their children, who live with relatives ... wow ...
Life on the street is hard and it would seem natural to become frustrated, speak condemnation or try to beat some sense into their heads.
But God loves all these people, he sent his son Jesus so that nobody has to perish but anyone can have eternal life. He sent Jesus into this world to save them and not to condemn them. (John 3:16+17)

Our job is to love them. We need to see behind their actions and reach out to their hearts. We're there to be an anchor, to be a light, so that they have the opportunity to realize that there is more to hope for in their life than what they can see right now. And that's what really can make a difference in their lives. How exciting it is when they go for it and follow the right steps. Just one person makes all the effort worth it.

Thank you for your part in this. For standing behind us, to support us with finances, prayers and being a friend. You are awesome!!!

Fundraising Event

We have this great opportunity for a fundraiser. On the 15-18th of November there will be a Formula 1 Racing event in Austin, TX. We were asked as a ministry to help with garbage and cleaning duties for this event.

Do you like fast, loud cars and the smell of engine oil? Then this is the right place for you to be. Get into the whole atmosphere of racing. It could be the chance of a lifetime, plus it's for a good cause! It doesn't matter if you are available for one day or for the whole time. Groups are welcome too.
