Well, it's been a few days since I posted. Things are really beginning to come together. A group of guys has been working on a new office for the two of us. It is huge! We're excited about that as it is so incredibly important to have a place where we can provide some counseling in a private atmosphere. Closed doors are important at times.
Tried to help a guy yesterday whose house burned down. Actually, his girlfriend of 30 years decided it would be a good idea. She has her share of problems and unfortunately locked away for quite awhile with a first-degree arson charge. Her boyfriend and I went down to the red cross to try and get a voucher for his living expenses for this month. It always takes a long time, longer than it should. However, I have been impressed with the Red Cross and their work with us on this.
I was able to get individual letters typed out to each guy living in our Recovery House. 12 of them, to be exact. It felt good to at least get somewhat of a handle on communication and setting up consistent meetings times with these guys. I think several of them are well on their way to getting out of the cycle they have lived in for so long. That's exciting.
I met with Carl Zoch from OKC First this morning and discussed the upcoming Senior High mission trip to Penn Ave. in March. He is a great guy and I can tell he shares the same vision for the Kingdom of God that Jon does there. That's an exciting thing and I look forward to watching how it all works out. Ministry has been fun so far this week!
