Teen Teams Visiting Cot To Cot
From David, Houston TX
This week a number of teens and young people from the Family International in Houston went to the Astrodome and Reliant Center to take time talking personally to the evacuees to lend a listening ear and an understanding heart. At first we didn’t really know what to expect but it seemed that to many, the biggest need was having an opportunity to talk to someone who cared and listened and lent a helping “heartâ€.
Going cot to cot we were able to talk and listen to many and we also prayed with 114 evacuees who received Jesus into their hearts. Living so close together day to day, people knew each others state and weaknesses and needs a lot more than usual and after we were there a while, people started pointing out their friends and family they felt really needed Jesus.
We saw many immediate answers to prayer, including one woman who was distraught because she couldn’t find anyone she knew, but shortly after having prayer to locate her loved ones, she found them. Thank the Lord!
* Jason, 18, on the left, has spent hours ministering and sharing God’s Word with 100’s of Katrina’s victims, listening to their heart-cries and giving them God’s answer- Jesus.
* Jono, (on the right) 18, whose parents are missionaries in Guatamala, said that he’s never seen a needier mission field than this one. These guys prayed for and shared Jesus’s love with 1000’s
*This young reporter from Australia came on her own to see what she could do to help in this time of need and said that when she met our volunteers she found her vehicle to make a difference..
*Here is our team of teens and young people with Cathy and Jeff and some of the 1000’s of pieces of donated literature which Activated Ministries donated to the effort here in H.
