Today, the Apostle prayed for a young man and invited him to our Drug Addiction Program. The young man confessed that he has a drug addiction problem. He also said that he has been to rehab; but he has relapsed. Please pray that the Lord will completely deliver him from drugs.

Today, we ministered to a group of four (4) intoxicated individuals at a bus stop. Apostle Michael shared a message of salvation as well as prayed for them. They received the word with joy and shared their problems with us. I was amazed how everyone was familiar with John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life." These people were clearly hurting people. Please join us in prayer for them. A little while after, we crossed the street to evangelize by a lakeside. The people we spoke to were all enthusiastic to receive the word of God.

A few minutes later, we visited a mall in Oakland. The first person we were led to was a man who appeared homeless. He was sitting on a bench in the mall and had a troubled and despondent look on his face. The Apostle asked him if he could share a word with him, but he said he was not in the mood for talk. Despite his refusal, the Apostle started to share words of comfort to him and quickly got his attention and, was able to share a very interesting passage in the Bible with him, as well as talk to him about the love of the Lord Jesus Christ.

As we kept walking, we met a young lady who was sitting on a bench and filling out a form. The Apostle said that the Lord told him to pray for her because she has a burden. When asked if this were true, she said "Yes," but that she did not want to share it with us. So, the Apostle shared a message of salvation as well as some words from the Lord with her. We then prayed for her and obtained some contact information from her. Please remember this young lady in prayer.  She expressed that she doesn't want to be a hypocrite when she gives her life to Jesus and that she is not ready to make a commitment right now.
