This past weekend was such a huge blessing for us all as we were able to take a trip to Skid Row in Los Angeles to spend time with the less fortunate in the area. In our time there we were able to pass out nearly 200 meals that were so generously donated from Pizza Hut and Scoreboard Pizza.We were able to meet many amazing people that day but one in particular stood out to me.
His name was LaSaul. He had been on and off the streets for the past several years but his faith in our Lord Jesus Christ could not have been stronger. Prior to the streets he was minister in a local church and was doing community outreaches in the very streets that he calls home now. We spent a great deal of time with him as he explained his rollercoaster life but the one thing that continually stood out was his love and trust in Jesus Christ. He knew there was a plan and God would deliver him in due season. He knew that he was placed in Skid Row for a reason and he was going to make the most of it.
I've never met a man in his position that had so much faith. We all learned alot that day about what it means to wait on the Lord. Not waiting in spiritual sulks but waiting as a waiter would do which means serving the Lord. LaSaul was an amazing and transparent man which we were all blessed to meet.
I'd like to personally invite you out to our next Skid Row trip on April 30th . More information will be posted soon on http://bedifferentmovement.com/
