We had a good Bible study tonight. A new homeless guy attended tonight and he really enjoyed it. What I loved was how he started opening up and asking questions as we studied the Bible. He said he recently accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior and he wants to learn more about God now.
Danny is a man in his mid 30s. He is from Texas and ended up in Dothan when he and his girlfriend decided to move to Florida to start a new life. To make a long story short, what they thought was going to be some good work in Dothan to earn some money to move to Florida turned out to be a dead end. Then his girlfriend was charged with a crime and is in jail.
He became homeless and now realizes the life he was leading wasn't going anywhere. He knows he needs to turn his life over to Jesus and surround himself with people who are living for God. He has a great lead on a job and hopefully everything will work out and he will begin his new job this Friday.
We talked a lot about God's love, His mercy and grace tonight, and about the importance of church. He really soaked it all in and took a Bible back to the hotel with him. We talked to him about the importance of marriage as well. He wants to keep coming back on Wednesday nights and he wants to keep going to church.
We're not here to judge people. We're here to tell them about Jesus and show them the love of Christ. I pray Danny will continue on this path.
Keep Danny and his girlfriend Dana in your prayers.
