Dear Friends of Street LIFE Ministries,
We pray during this current global crisis that 3 John 1:2
encourages you all: ”Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest
prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” That’s God’s heart
and desire always or Holy Spirit would not have inspired John to write it.
This is a time like none other to seek Him. Spend time in His Presence, in worship, prayer,
and the Word. Build yourselves up in the
Holy Spirit, declaring His greatness and faithfulness to you and others around
you! HE HAS NOT CHANGED, NOR HAS HIS WORD AND PROMISES! Ps 91, Ps 46, Ps 20, Isa 41:10 Pray these,
decree these, each are TRUE and will minister to you and to others surrounding
you!
Let’s all of us redeem the time and look for ways and means
to love, serve and provide. Pray for
your family, neighbors, and all those within your sphere of influence.
We at Street LIFE Ministries are doing all the above and
still going to the streets and massage parlors, with much prayer and use of all
basic, wisdom-filled, precautions as shared locally and federally. We will
continue to press on, unless absolutely forbidden; then we will pray for
further guidance and strategy. The poor,
hurting, and homeless still are poor, hurting, and homeless. They are in even greater need of love and
compassion, as well as the practical items we bring weekly. Over 60,000 are in
shelters, 10-20,000 are on the streets throughout the boroughs of New York City. All are in dire need and it’s worsening by
the day!
As always, we trust God for everything and will always do so. His grace is always sufficient no matter the
circumstances we face. Like so many
others around the world, we face the fear and shaking of all areas,
spiritually, economically, socially, and governmentally. WE MUST BIND OURSELVES TOGETHER IN HIS LOVE! Fight
this fight with FAITH and obedience!
The needs here are increasing. With the loss of all of March teams, and
potentially April’s too, SLM is down $15,000 already. Teams are a major source of revenue to
sustain the ongoing work of SLM. Would you pray and consider sending a
sacrificial offering to bless SLM and help enable us to continue to be a
blessing to all those we serve? If you
are unable, we fully understand. Please PRAY,
which we all can do. We are believing
for an outpouring of grace and favor. The
harvest, that we and so many others have been praying for, is HERE. It’s ready and ripe for Jesus and His
Kingdom, a Kingdom that will not be shaken!
Please also send us ANY PRAYER REQUESTS YOU MAY HAVE. We fast and pray every Wednesday and Friday
and would count it all joy to lift you up before the Throne of Grace in these
times of need. Heb 4:16
Rom 8:31-39 THE MESSAGE
“So, what do you think? With God on our side like this,
how can we lose? If God didn't hesitate to put everything on the line for
us, embracing our condition and exposing himself to the worst by sending his
own Son, is there anything else he wouldn't gladly and freely do for us? And
who would dare tangle with God by messing with one of God's chosen? Who
would dare even to point a finger? The One who died for us — who was raised to
life for us! — is in the presence of God at this very moment sticking up for
us. Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and
Christ's love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred,
not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even
the worst sins listed in Scripture:
They kill us in cold blood because they hate you.
We're sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one.
None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us. I'm absolutely convinced that nothing —
nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable —
absolutely nothing can get between us and God's love because of the way that
Jesus our Master has embraced us.”
AMEN!
For the King and His Kingdom,
David Van Fleet
Executive Director
