Anyway, I haven't written on this for a while. I haven't had much to say but after the homeless outreach there are alot of things on my mind. so here goes...
I think the homeless outreach was a good experience. I mean I will admit, I think that it could've been better, but hey it was only our first time, and I'm glad that it was done in a testing field rather than our actual missions. It's just that there wasn't THAT many homeless people. I thought there'd be more lol. If only there was more...lol no wait I take that back haha.
Anyway I just wanted to also tell you guys about something weird that happened just before I took the train home. Well, I was walking past this group of like 10 black people preaching right? They had these like weird robes on and were holding signs and reading the bible, so I was like wow nice to see fellow christians telling people about God, until I actually started to listen to what I was saying. These guys were blaspheming. Their main theme was that God would destroy America. That he would punish and destroy every race except for blacks because they are the chosen people. They claimed that they were a part of the 12 tribes of Israel or something like that? The guy preaching pointed at me and called me a chink in front of the WHOLE crowd. And then he went on to say that I'm from a wicked race of heathen and incest and whatnot. I'm like wtfreak. I got so mad, they were twisting God's words to match it to their liking. The WORST thing was most of the passerby that actually stopped for more than ten minutes to listen, who were primarily black, were totally agreeing with them. They were like seriously mezmerized and their eyes were full of hatred it was scary. Nobody defended me too. Instead, most of them laughed at me. Not just as like a joke either. Not because they thought it was actually funny but because they were full of hatred. And when I looked at them their eyes were like demonic. Like they wanted to stab me right there or something. Some of them were high too I could tell, but thats no excuse for being like that. Man, Satan was filling them up with evil. I can honestly say that I have never seen with my own eyes greater wickedness. I mean, they were completely filled with lies too. You would think that you'd have to be crazy to believe in the outrageous message they were preaching, but the preachers AND the listeners actually believed it with all their hearts. That scared me the most. Nothing was holding them back. As far as I could tell, they had no conscience.
Yeah, well now that I've vented I feel much better, but God made me realize alot. This kind of bursted my bubble you know? I realized I'm still so young. I haven't seen most of the world yet, and that there are many many things in this world that I've been protected from and not aware of. It really renewed my desperation for God and made me realize how desperate this world needs God.

yea... scary isn't it. I'm glad it helped open your eyes but no worries cause God is soooo great. Romans 5:12-20. It explains how sin is from one man and its all over the world but we dont need to worry because Jesus's grace and righteousness is going to increase so much more.
Romans 5:19 "For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous."
CRAZyyy.. this is when we pray for others and lay our lives down before God so that he may use us to spead his WOrd.
yea, although we didnt see many homeless people (can be good and bad) i've learned a lot too, and i hope it has for everyone else. lets take what we've learned and apply it in our lives and at the mission trip. :oD
