So yesterday was the deadline for funds to be in for the Haiti trip and I simply just didnt get the funds. Ohhhh well. Not too bummed about it.
Because I have already been put to use here in ATL. I was expecting to get here and to live in a nice big house with my buddy Kyle at some pastors place. We ended up in a cheap motel in the not so nice part of town. I am now staying in a room paid for by my Catholic missionary friend Sean Rogers (who is known around here by everyone — he is like the Mother Teresa of Georgia). I will be working with Brother Sean for the next 3-4 weeks with his homeless ministry.
Just in the 5 days I have been here things have been crazy nuts… but here is the thing… I am not going to tell you about it here. We are putting together a quick film about the location and ministry. But over the next month I will be helping Brother Sean document the homeless mission through video as well as being a blog roll contributor on his website www.DeepWatersMinistry.org.
One door has been closed and a monstrous door has been opened in the most unlikely of places! The knowledge he has imparted on me has been infinitely invaluable! I am loving it here. I just flew out here not knowing what I was getting into and God has blessed me over and above with shelter and food not to mention a learning experience unfathomed… getting a chance to apprentice myself to a saint of a man.
WAYYYYYY TOO COOL!
MORE TO COME !!!!!!
