Im coming to the end of my month of service at the City Rescue Mission. I thought I would be moving back to California but it looks like the Lord has other plans.
Last Wednesday I prayed with some friends about the direction to take now that my Peace Corps service is delayed until early June. On Friday the Mission offered me a position as an R.A. which includes housing. But my real interest is on the building across the street from the Mission (refugeokc.com) which is in the midst of a crazy transformation from a crackhouse to a peace-filled Refuge building for Jesus. On Friday I also got a call from a girl that is moving in to the Refuge and is supported as a missionary from her church. She has enough support to cover me for the 3 months that I now have to serve in what ever way God guides.
So God answers prayers in big ways. And as of Feb 1st I will be living (in the Mission or the Refuge) among the homeless and abused in downtown OKC and trying my best to be a faithful servant.
