Imagine roaming the streets of Atlanta for the first time. Imagine that you are roaming the streets of Atlanta in the dark. Imagine roaming the streets of Atlanta, waiting for God to show up. This was my experience the first night of training camp. Instead of heading to Gainsville, our team spent the night in Atlanta at the “Safe House.” After an awesome worship time, we were given an assignment. We were given $8 and told to touch the life of someone on the streets of Atlanta. We were PUMPED.
So, we headed out! Our team of 9 set of on the streets of the Atlanta searching for God and His will for that night. For 2 hours, we walked aimlessly. We saw brokenness,. We saw rough neighborhoods. We saw people who wanted nothing to do with us or what we had to tell them. It seemed to grow dark quickly. We have bought some food to give to anyone who needed it and we did that, but that wasn’t enough. On our way back to the Safe House, we spotted a homeless man named Michael. We gave him a dollar and I asked if I could tell Him about Jesus Christ. He was a broken man. His heart was in pieces. He was alone, laying on the streets of Atlanta hoping he wouldn’t get arrested. He became my friend. Our team sat with him on the street, listened to his broken heart, and prayed over him. He then told us he needed Jesus Christ in his life…and that’s what happened! Right on the street in the middle of Atlanta, this homeless, broken man received Jesus Christ. BUT THAT’S NOT ALL! He wanted to be baptized. AND THAT’S WHAT HAPPENED!
Jesus Christ showed up miraculously. I can’t wait to see what else He has in store! <3
