To The Man I Do Not Know The Name Of...

Man Receiving Food from Our Truck

For years, James has been a part of our extended family at Tompkins Square Park.  Every week he has enjoyed the free food & drink we supply, but would only smile and walk off when we tried to converse with him.  From time to time, I found myself praying that the Lord would open the door for me to get to know him.  The perfect opportunity arose when he asked for some hair conditioner a few weeks ago.  It was then I put some conditioners in an envelope and wrote a note addressing him as "the man I do not know the name of" and expressed how grateful we were to have him as a part of our lives at Tompkins Square Park.  

A week later I was amazed as he waved me over and began asking questions about my life. He introduced himself as James, which was exciting since he would never give me his name.  As I said my name, he said yes I know, pointing to his back pocket to indicate the note was there.  The conversation continued on, and James related to me that he had no beliefs about God.  So I shared my testimony of how I was an atheist and hated God but He showed Himself real to me through a series of circumstances.   

Please pray that the Lord will continue to develop the relationship with James and open doors for us to share the Gospel with him!

March Video Update!

Hey everyone!

Yes I wrote it, March update on April 1st! April fools? This is really a update about the month of March. ;)

Anyhoo, hope all is well... for this months update I have included a video update with a testimony about prayer stations and what the Lord's doing in the lives of those who serve. It involves a conversation I had with a member from a team of Norwegians we served.



Thanks so much for watching! Let me know how i can pray for you or just keep me posted on what's up with your lives.

Love you!

Don't Walk By, Queens House of Prayer and Glen's Story! - Amy's Adventures February Update~

What a month it's been!  The Lord has been doing so much on the streets of NYC and here in our midst at Street LIFE. Don't Walk By Outreach, answered prayers in the Queens House of Prayer and stories of lives changed by outreach, just to name a few. 

Hope you enjoy reading this month's update!

Don't Walk By:

We just finished another successful year of our annual "Don't Walk By" campaign, which trained and mobilized volunteers to walk the streets and to do a "search and rescue" for the homeless. The Lord has been so faithful and there have been so many lives touched. I will have more statistics and stories to follow next month.

Queens House of Prayer:

Tuesday afternoon prayer watch is my favorite of the week. The topic? Human/sex trafficking. Today there are over 2.5 million victims of human trafficking, a number I am often overwhelmed thinking about. During a recent watch Mary Anna and I prayed for the Lord to expose what's happening here in NYC, specifically for "God to raise up voices in the media and law enforcement who will speak out against this injustice and not be silenced."

You can imagine the excitement we felt when we saw an answer to our prayers in a local newspaper story! It told the account of a woman who was deceived with promises of a better life in America, and upon arrival in New York was taken captive as a sex slave. How awesome is our God! He let us join in the fight and gives us strategy on how to pray. This is what I so enjoy about being part of the Queens House of Prayer, knowing that as we worship and seek Him, He gives us His heart of intercession and answers our cries. I am excited to see what God will continue to do through our prayers, knowing it's His desire that His "house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples" (Isaiah 56:7).

For more information about our Queens House of Prayer or how you can participate, you can contact me or check our website at www.qhopf.com

Born Again & Serving Tompkins Square Park:

This is a three minute documentary of our neighbor Glen. He gave his life to the Lord just over two years ago in one of our Sunday evening services and now does almost everything with us. Please watch, I prayed you'd be blessed by it.

Thank you all for reading this update. As always let me know how you are doing, I would love to pray for you!

Video & November Updates

Hello everyone!

 

How are you doing? I hope all is well with you.

First off, I want to thank you guys for your support & prayers throughout this month. I cannot begin to express my gratitude for the encouragements and phone calls I've received. So far God has supplied much grace to go through the recovery process, and the doctor believes the surgery was successful. As for the provision, I've raised most, if not all, the finances needed to pay everything. (At this point I am uncertain about the total because all the bills have not yet come in.)  Hallelujah! Our God is faithful; it has truly been amazing to see how He comes through!

Also, earlier this month Mary Anna and I got to speak at a India Christian Assembly's "Charity Night." It was an exciting thing for me to share testimonies from the streets, as well as my personal testimony. The Lord answered some of the cries in my heart to be able to connect with the local Body and impart passion to share Jesus. I know there is much PURPOSE for living here in this great city of nations, and I loved seeing the excitement as people were eager to respond to the challenge of sharing hope to the hurting and lost. So in lieu of the usual video update, I've decided to send a few clips from that night. Hope you enjoy.

Last but not least, with a little over a month left of college, my hope is that I will stay focused, finish strong and continue to be a light to my classmates and professors. I have two finals and papers due in these next couple of weeks. I would greatly appreciate your prayers through this time.  

Once again I want to thank you for reading.
