Homeless Impact?
A couple of us guys were hanging out for "Passionate Life Group" (our small groups on caffiene) and we were talking about what we wanted to do as guys to encourage and challenge each other to live passionatly and radically for Jesus. As we were talking one of the ideas we came up with was to go and try to impact someones life each time we meet. The way we impacted their life can totally vary and these people would include people we know, people we don't know, people we run into, etc.
Anyway, as we were talking a very very drunk homeless man asked us for money because he was hungry, so we ended up taking him to arby's and buying him some burgers. The guy was very drunk: he was very scattered in his talk, didn't always make sense, switched subjects often, cryed, laughed, ran into walls and also the door at arbys. He told us he had been in prison, he told us he might not live through the night, that his girl was up north and he hadn't talked to his family in a long time, and that he was living in the woods near UC. We tryed to talk to him about Jesus but he seemed to like the president more - he avoided going into too much details on Jesus but spent a lot of time just talking.
I don't know why God set up this divine appointment but for whatever reason God gave us this opportunity to pray for him, impact his life, give him a meal, listen, and allow him to have fun (he kept telling us he was having so much fun).
God blessed this man with food, good conversation, a fun time, people to pray for him and gave us the opportunity to begin our group impacting someones life.
IT WAS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
