Love...in action

I told you guys last night how much i love your stories...Got this one just a few minutes ago from one of our PURE family Starbux barista's...enjoy...


-"hey! so this morning at work (Starbucks) there was a homeless man sitting on the planter outside of my store, normally we ask homeless people to leave but the planter is not our property so left him alone. i watched him sitting outside in the wind holding his "hungry" sign and very few people even noticed him and a couple people just gave him money. i kept thinking, why do they keep giving him money? thats not going to help! then i laughed at myself for getting so annoyed with other people who were at least trying while i just sat and watched so i bought one of our warm breakfast sandwiches and asked my co worker daniel to go outside with me.we walked up to the man and asked how he was, he said he could be doing better so i told him sorry i couldnt do more but heres a sanwich and also i gave him a WOL card and said if he needed anything else the church would be there to help him. he was so excited and greatful! he just kept saying "wow! thank u! God bless u guys!" we started to talk and he started telling me about his life and why he was on the street and the hurt he has from loosing his father. so i pulled him to the side and asked if i could pray for him, again super excited he said it was cool so i began to pray for him and daniel agreed and
he feel to his knees with his hands raised and was just saying "yes father, yes father". he admitted to be drunk and he was a little dramatic but i believe a seed was planted. he gave us a huge hug and was so grateful! he swore he was going to be better! AND THEN, if all that wasnt cool enough...we didnt know but the rest of our team saw it all go down so it got everyones hearts stirring. my partners started to ask questions. i think because of the love daniel and i showed for kevin (the homeless man), our partners were more open to us because they saw Gods love. it was reallly
cool!!! anyway just wanted to share with u. just my everyday life, everday people, right here in fontana, sharing Gods love."-


It continually moves my heart to tears when I hear about you guys living//PC...praise God! Love=Passionate Christianity=PC= World Change
