Mardi Gras Outreach - Day 4

Beautiful One
"There is a dimension of Jesus you will never know until you accompany Him into the harvest."(The Fire of God’s Love, Bob Sorge, pg. 59)
Donna was lost and caught in the thicket and the Good Shepherd gave me an opportunity to rescue her. After evangelizing for 2 hours, the team was returning to the cafe/ministry room when I spotted her sitting on the "stoop" of one of the row houses in the French Quarter, I went over to hand her my last tract and to hear her story. 24 hours before she had been deserted by her husband. She spent the night in a bar and was crying out for help. Our encounter gave her grace to realize that God does answer prayer.
We wisked her away from the streets and God wrapped this little lamb in His loving arms. Food, coffee, dialogue... She repented & rededicated her life to Jesus. In our conversation, she spoke of why God was "jealous for her." She thought He was narcissistic - only caring about Himself, but before our eyes a revelation came over her. She beamed as she proclaimed, "It’s because He loves us so much. He’s jealous for our affection!" (written by Mary Ann)

Prayer Room Testimony
As I arrived at the 6am prayer set this morning, Kelly was ministering to a young man named Harold. Harold was addicted to drugs and had come into the prayer room in the French Quarter in the middle of the night. Soon there were several of us praying for him. He asked Jesus to free him from his drug addiction and invited Him into his life. He stayed to pray and read the Bible and was still in the prayer room when I left the prayer room at around 9:30 am.(written by Kenny Miracle)

Crisis Response InternationalCRISIS RESPONSE INTERNATIONAL has been an amazing support ministry for us this week. They have provided most of our meals the transportation, and other things that I don’t even know about! Remember to keep them in prayer, as they are enabling the "street preachers" and Prayer Room Warriors.
