Our crew set out to go to Main Street. Main is a wild place. Poverty is the norm on North Main Dayton. We've had some great opportunities to establish a beachhead there that will be finalized soon. We wanted to go and encourage people in the area with groceries and prayer.
One lady of the group had just received groceries and was now going out with her kids to serve others. It was an emotional time for her. We prayed for several people. One lady exclaimed, 'I can feel something going on in my heart! I have stints in my heart and sense something good happening!'
Other people who were prayed for were encouraged and visibly moved. At the end when we gathered to pray before leaving...a man ran over and thanked our group for coming and giving aid. A little love, and practical care goes a long way on Main.
