Through my completely awesome wife, a.k.a. The Queen, we have connected with the homeless coordinator for students in one of our local (and large) school districts. Out of 39,000+ students, some 1,100 are classified as homeless, meaning they have no physical address to call their own.
Eight of those students (4 in one family, 2 and 2) just got relocated to apartments in the area but sans furniture. Our church, friends, and several people who just thought it was a good idea rallied behind these folks and furnished their apartments.
When the call came originally, I didn't know how much we'd get. But I knew that if we didn't try, we couldn't very well call ourselves the church. If God didn't provide, at least we took a run at it.
But He did.
And families were blessed.
And I'm one proud pastor, husband, dad, and friend.
