Prayer Requests:
Jose was writing a letter for his son Jason who lives in Jersey City. We prayed for the safety of his son and for them to be closer.
As they prayed with Jose, a man named Michael passed us. The team felt a strong call to pray for him. He was so happy that we asked him. He held their hands so tight and asked us to pray for his salvation and for God to keep him safe. He told us that he really needed that and thanked us for coming after him.
The team met Taz and Kelly, a couple of friends, who were so happy for the bags of food and blankets we gave them.
