PC week 5, The Savlation Army

"The scripture is talking about asking God, seeking God's help and not knowing if He's going to open His door.
God is letting us know, that no matter what this world has for you, he is able to take care of you.
Another scripture talks about God taking care of the raven, the raven is considered a scavenger bird. God clothes the raven to make sure he or she sings, and allows them also to have food and shelter. We're made after the image of God. That means he will take care of us. We may not see, some of us might be in situations that we are looking for homes, some of us may be going through difficulty with a job, some of us may be having trouble with the legal system and some of us may have health problems.
Man only has certain limitations. But when man's limitations (are met), that's the opportunity for God. We don't have to worry about no government bailout, we don't have to worry about if Barack's going to win or McCain's going to win. My trust is in the Lord Jesus Christ.
You must hold your own self up. What is in your heart will come out of your mind. God will provide for us. "

Richard Wilkes
"I have the time to do something. It's the kind of job I like, you know, volunteering. I volunteer 2 days a week. "

"I was a federal employee, I just retired. I go to church here. I do what I can. It's not a lot but the people appreciate it. It keeps me from sitting at home. When you're retired, you got to get involved. "

T : "It's my way of giving back."
D : "I enjoy helping people and I used to be homeless so I know what it's like.
I was homeless from 1980 to 1985. A judge and Sister Mary Scullion helped me. She runs Project Home. It's a place for people to live and they help you get jobs in cooking.
I ended up homeless by choice. My mother had wanted me to get an apartment but we didn't get along too well so I just left home to be on my own.
In a way (being homeless) was the best thing I did for my self. Because it helped me to stop drinking and doing drugs. I was rebellious and I was trying to escape. "

Doris Gonzalez, Captain

"People just want a place where they can be welcomed. They come here not to be judged. They're not asked questions. They don't feel threatened.
This area shows great need, with that it also shows great opportunity. It shows that people are very open to receive from us. "
