June Street Ministry Outreach - Surrey BC
Cris, Justine and I witnessed first-hand the look of desperation and hopelessness on the faces of some of the people we spoke with. We are all well aware of how the cost of living has skyrocketed and impacted all our lives. Imagine living on the streets at a time like this.
I prayed with Carline who was seated on the road, eating the dinner sandwich which was in the Care Pack we gave her. She told me she lives on the street. I asked her what her spiritual belief is and she told me she knows there is a Creator. I was then able to pick up on that and shared with her, yes His name is Jesus and then prayed in His name.
Matthew 25:34-35
34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, ‘Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 for I was hungry and you gave Me food; I was thirsty and you gave Me drink; I was a stranger and you took Me in;
Thank you for sending us. May the Lord bless us all as we work together in our Father’s Business of sharing the Gospel and bringing the ministry of HIS mercy, love and compassion to the streets.
With Joy,

At some point or another, we have all given a ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ on social media. With one click, we voice our approval or disapproval. Our perceptions, convictions, opinions and past experiences all play a part in determining that response.
But what about the people that get our not so obvious silent ‘dislike’? We might bump into someone in the grocery aisle and our facial expression and polite conversation with them belie the repeated ‘dislike’ button being pressed in our hearts and minds. Or we listen to a messenger of God, who has had bad reviews and we automatically group them with the ‘dislike’ lot and throw out the divinely inspired message with them into the same lot.
Personally, I sometimes catch myself doing the same thing.
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
Becoming a believer by accepting Christ is immediate but the process of sanctification of the soul takes a lifetime.
It is detrimental to our walk with the Lord when we don’t guard our hearts and minds against such thoughts, attitudes and perceptions, and allow them to choke the the very thing that God, in His infinite wisdom, is trying to accomplish in our lives.
Yield, and don’t shy back from the loving hand of the Father, who holds the shears to prune, peel and uproot weeds in our hearts that the enemy, and our own flesh plants, the ‘old man’ habits that stifle the Word of God and His divine seeds.
If we submit to this process daily, we will see our lives blossom under the gentle guiding hand of the divine Gardener. He will make us conduits of living waters that bubble, and spill over to refresh others, as He refreshes us.
Romans 14:19
Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.
The next time I see someone or hear something that has warranted a habitual ‘dislike’ in the past, I’ve decided to ask the Holy Spirit to help me guard my mind and cultivate a new habit of thinking like Christ.
In His Service,

We are happy to inform that we have raised $400 which is 40% of our $1,000 goal to bless a child through Make A Wish Foundation which is an organisation that grants wishes to children who are terminally ill. Let us in addition, pray that the children be completely healed in Jesus’ name because the Word of God can re-diagnose a condition and declare ‘Healed” in the name of Jesus so that the children will receive a double blessing!.
We invite you to add your offering to ours so it multiplies and empowers us to go further and help more people.
