This past Friday, our Team was led by the amazing new Director of Homeless Outreach, Stacy Allen! She did an awesome job leading our small, but mighty team out onto the streets of Hollywood. With nearly 2/3 of the veteran team out sick or blessed to be attending the Hillsong conference (how awesome were Pastors Houston and Lentz?!?) the Rookies held their own on the streets!Our team met up with a lot of familiar faces but also many new ones. We appreciate the prayers that go up for our team and each of the people that we meet. Here are the prayers of the 42 people they met this week:
Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he wh is generous to the needy honors him.
