East Durham Street Stuff......

I was back out on the streets today. After dropping off food to the seniors I went down Holloway looking for a few people. It was raining so there was no one on the streets then all of a sudden I started getting flagged down. I was hoping to see April (prostitute), I am concerned about her because I have not seen her at all. The bad thing is that shooting heroin all the time, she could be dead in an abandoned house. She told me how dealers will put stuff in the heroin that can kill people. Please pray for her!!!

I was first flagged down by Calvin who I met just last week. He had the biggest smile on his face and was much happier than when I found him last week. He boasted about his new shoes and how comfortable they are. He said it is so nice to go around with dry feet. (things we take for granted) He is still staying in an abandoned house and is very concerned about getting arrested. I gave him another person to talk to that may be able to help in then I will follow up when I get back from Indiana.

Next it was a prostitute that I had not seen for a long time. She told me of how she had got shot by mistake in a drive by. She received two bullets to the leg. I have spent so much time ministering to her and I used this in attempt to get to think again if she would have died by getting shot. She listened again...pray for her too! She had not eaten so I hooked her up with some food. She asked me for another one of my ministry cards so that she could talk to me more. She is one that does call often. She needs to get out of Durham!!!

Next it was a guy named Willie who I have not seen for a long time. He and his girlfriend were good friends of ours. His girlfriend is no longer with him but they remain friends and I was blessed to hear that after so much ministering by Eileen and I that she was clean. She has quit alcohol and drugs and is doing well!! She got out of here and moved to Smithfield. Willie needed some food and I directed him to where I wanted him to start attending church. He is a good guy and I believe that he will attend the church and continue getting himself together.

I love ministering on the streets of East Durham!!!
