What God is doing though Brown Bags And Jesus

It was just amazing to see how God is working through Brown Bags and Jesus over the last month. We have helped God serve over 400 lunches, over 650 waters, helped 1 man find a job, and today we learned that 12 people that we feed have been going to church and 3 of them made a decision to invite God into their heart today. Also while we were pumping gas at a station in Metairie, on our way to serve the lunches, we were talking to the man at the pump next to us who was from Sun, La only 5 minutes from where we live in Bush, La. It was obvious that they were just leaving church, so we asked them to pray over our bags, they agreed and then he handed us a card and come to find out he was the Pastor at a nearby church in the area and was looking to get involved in something like what we have been doing. We are excited to see where the Good Lord will take the this opportunity!
The kids passed out lunches like they were old pro's, and the men and women just love seeing the kids and talking to them. We delivered 60 lunches and about 125 waters, and then helped the other family set up for passing out their hygiene products, after a little fellowshipping we called it a day and headed back home to plan next weeks trip.

Please remember, that while there are people using drugs that are homeless, a lot of these people are just people that were in a bad situation, many of them could pass a drug test at any given time and would be willing to work for a lot less than what you could pay an illegal immigrant standing out in front of the lumber superstores in the area. If you think you could hire one of these people, let me know what skills you are looking for, and I can put you in touch with them. The homeless range from Restaurant managers to heavy equipment operators to labors and construction workers and remember, most of them are not bad people in a situation, they are just people in a BAD situation!
