Upon the Lord delivering me from my meth addiction in 2008, I took up reading and came across The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom. Remembering this book from the 6th grade where a Godly teacher took the time to read it to our class, I picked it up and remembered thinking, even as a 6th grader, how The Lord put us here to help each other, especially the downtrodden. The more I read, the more The Spirit moved me towards putting my faith into action.

 

Street Love was born one Saturday morning as I drove to Athens, found a homeless camp, and offered some men a cup of coffee. Three men with three needs: one a tent, one a coat, and one a blanket. Having nothing, I drove to the thrift store. God provided all 3 items for $5.00. 

 

I came home and told Lou Ann, “The Lord wants us to minister to the homeless,” and her reply was, "Have you lost your mind?". We began Street Love Ministries together, and here we are. Look what The Lord has done!
