We met Dawn in one of the homeless camps right before she ended up in jail.  We saw her life change as she decided to follow Christ.  Angela and Mike visited her every week for two and half years, teaching her, encouraging her, and just being a friend.  What an amazing lady she has become.  This is one of the things we do in the ministry, visiting the ones in jail.  If you want to see Dawn's story, go to www.angela-snapshotsoflife.blogspot.com

We love spending time daily helping the homeless, but it is a special time when we get to just have some fun and feed their stomachs.  We have been able to do this several times lately.  We are so far receiving $50 a month for this.  Please consider donating toward this so we can feed them each weekend.  There are many starving people out there.

One particular thing we do in the ministry, is we pass out Bibles to ones desiring to read and learn more about our God.  This is Ruthie.  She was so excited to receive her Bible we got for her.  She shed a few tears and then began smiling from ear to ear.  It is one of her most important possessions and she has it with her at all times.

Praising God that He provided the RV!!  Thank you to all the ones who donated toward it!  Once it is ready to roll, we will be able to use it for ministry.  We are very excited about the possibilities.

We would appreciate your help and prayers for this property.  Several of us have gone to see it and we all thought it would be perfect for what we are looking for.

                                                                                                          Here are some assets that we can see so far that is important to us and have been praying about:

1. God would have a story that would be told in how He provided for it.  With the way this came about with the realtor and then Mike having Bible studies there, that has already begun.

2.  Nice piece of property where we could add on easily since the house would be used for fellow believers that want to join us.  We already have several people who want to live with us or close to us so we can worship and have teaching and accountability daily.  Everyone so far that is joining us have struggles and they want a clean place and to learn how to live the daily life as a disciple of Christ

3. We also wanted enough property for a nice size vegetable garden and play area for the kids

They are asking $250,000.  It is appraised for over $500,000.  This is a rare piece of property here in Portland with the land being over an acre.  So much potential.  Please pray with us about this.  Pray and search if God would have you help us financially in this or if you know someone who would want to.  Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or if you would like to talk to our Realtor.

AGAIN....this is not just for us.  We have been willing to be homeless, live in an RV, whatever God wanted.  BUT, this is all part of the ministry.  It would be used to house us and others who want to join us in the ministry along with a place of hospitality for ones traveling out here to check out what we do and serve as missions teams for our ministry.
