Video Update
Hey everyone! thanks for watching.
Been a busy year so far. Gosh so much is happening, I cannot believe it's already April.
We're starting a 40 day 24/7 fasting and praying time (April 12-May 21st)with a few church here in Flushing. Please keep that in your prayer as we enter into this season here.
In the meantime, I pray you'd be blessed by this video update and that you have a blessed day.
Love you all,
Amy

Not For Sale
I recently came across a quote from Annie Besant that I would like to finish with. “Plenty of people wish well to any good cause, but very few care to exert themselves to help it, and still fewer will risk anything in its support. ‘Some one ought to do it, but why should I?’ is the ever reëchoed phrase of weak-kneed amiability. ‘Some one ought to do it, so why not I?’ is the cry of some earnest servant of man, eagerly forward springing to face some perilous duty. Between these two sentences lie whole centuries of moral evolution.” I am not this servant, not yet and maybe never completely. But it seems to be a process worth undertaking, in whatever way we each might be called to. I wish you the best in your process.

Reading the quote from Annie Besant got me thinking...
maybe it will bless you too. Once again my heart aches for freedom that comes only thru the Cross of Christ. God would you set the captives free this day and make your Body raise up through the ashes to display your beauty and proclaim Your Glory through all the earth.
Our destiny is recognized only when we deny ourselves and take up the cross daily.
His Servant,
Amy

January Update
I know I am a little late on this video update, but regardless, I pray that you'd be blessed by it!
Here is the link for it...
Also I just want to share a few testimonies and videos from several different things that Street LIFE Ministries have been involved in lately.
New Years Eve Outreach:
During one of our nights of outreach, we decided to start worshipping in the middle of Time Square while waiting on a few people for the subway. God moved so powerfully that night as we had at least 15 minutes of uninterrupted worship by the sidewalk. This was one of the best nights I had throughout the whole outreach and God was so present and exalted. People stoped and joined us to sing and worship. Praise broke out and Jesus was exalted! We even had guys who stopped and danced. What a glorious time it was indeed. Please watch:
Don't Walk By Jan 16th, 2010:
God moved so powerfully as we mobilized 360 volunteers to walk the streets of Midtown Manhattan looking for homeless. 462 homeless were engaged, 127 came back to the church for a hot meal and loving care and 56 people went to faith based rehab programs.
I've been so blessed to be inside the church and a part of the assessement team where I get to meet those who come back and minister to their needs. Check out this slideshow that one of my co-workers put together:

The New Homeless: Candido Gonzalez at New York's Bowery Mission - DailyFinance
The New Homeless: Candido Gonzalez at New York's Bowery Mission - DailyFinance
This article gets me sooo pumped for next years outreach Don't Walk By.
More and more lately, there's just such an excitement in my heart recognizing the heart of God is for this. God calls His people to put their refuge in Him. In this case, the Bowery has been a place of literal refuge for men and women who have no place of refuge. In a time where it seems like there's nothing but hopeless all around, I stand in awe of how we can see the deliverence of God if we choose to trust Him and believe for the impossible.
Last years DWB was a success and I cannot wait to see what happens this year. This is going to the be the second year in the a row where ministries like the one I serve (Street LIFE Ministries) and other ministries like the Bowery and other ministries that serve the homeless, go and mobilize the Body of Christ to reach the homeless in this city.
Last year I was apart of the volunteers who walked the streets searching for homeless, this year I get to be a part of the team that will connect and bring some of those we encounter to a program and a safe place, using the social work skills I've been learning in school.
For more information, please check out this video of somethings God did last yr, as well as the website www.dontwalkby.org
