By now everyone has heard of the "Occupy Wall Street" protests all around the country. Well we have one going on right here in Burlington. About a hundred people set up camp at City Hall Park. This has been an incredible opportunity for us for ministry. I have participated in prayer sessions, discussions, and spent a lot of time just meeting and engaging in some wonderful conversations about the spiritual with these folks. I have even conducted several bible studies on Joel, Amos, Micah and some of the other prophets regarding social justice issues. Quite a few of these folks are well over 50, some older, some younger, a very diverse group of people. I know a lot of people don't like what they are doing, but it has led to one of the most incredible ministry opportunity for us in many years.
Beside this opportunity, we are gearing up for the Holiday season, and we have some needs we need help with.
We need:
McDonald's Gift Cards loaded with $10 on each card.
New Socks to be given out to the homeless
Energizer Lithium AA Batteries
Postage stamps
Please pray for us as we enter our winter ministry, pray for the harvest, pray for open hearts as we minister to the many people in great need in our city.
Your Missionary to the Streets,
Dave

Thank you for touching the lives of everyone the Lord brings across your path. If more pastors took your approach, Christianity in North America would not be in decline. Praying for God's favor to rest upon you.
Praying for you and asking God's blessing on your ministry!
