November 8, 2011 Bowery Mission
Good morning everyone. We woke at 5:45. We went to chapel service and John Bruederman gave the message. He has a true heart for Jesus, Awesome guy. I met him the last time I was here.
Joel and Chris then left and went and ran the brooklyn bridge, I was Jealous but I knew I would be too tired if I did that. After chapel service we served the men in the program and following this we served the men and women living in the community. Then we went and got a coffee around the corner. I discover I am not a coffee mate girl. Betty and I did not know we should have asked for steamed milk. 1:50 for a large. Following our coffee we had a tour with university students from virginia who were here for the day. we prayed over Betty as her back has been sore. She is doing better now. Praise God.
Ate lunch around 11:30, went out on outreach with Keith, Larry, Domingo, Greg, and Spencer. They took good care of us. After outreach we came back to our room to re coop. All morning we were chatting and saying Betty, Connie and I that we didn’t seem to be feeling the power of the Holy spirit in us. That quicky changed after outreach, handing out groceries and food to people in the park. We were bothered by seeing the children come through the line with their moms or guardians.
We had a snack and set out to Brooklyn Tab for prayer services with Jim Cymbala. We arrived at 5:30 and the service at begAN at 7 pm. I felt led to go to the alter to pray about our being there and for continued feeling of God’s presence. I was in Awe the whole service. The power of prayer is amazing and so evident last night. I was flying after that. We all were. Connie and Betty,Chris and Tanner went to meet him after the service. After the service I ran out of the church to call Corey as I was so amazed. It was so amazing to hear his voice. I miss you so much dear.
After the service around 9 pm we went for another snack and walked around Rockefeller center where the big Christmas tree gets lit up over the season. Awesome day arrived back at the Bowery around 11pm. Lights out. Were all so tired. Thank you Lord for an awesome day.

Nov 9/11-Up at 5:20 too early. Went down to Chapel service and I gave an opening prayer followed by Joel speaking and Tanner giving his testimony. Tanner did an amazing job. Joel began to speak again and we had to interrupt him because Raymond needed to then give his testimony. He said it can’t wait any longer. It was powerful. The girls and I served breakfast this morning too. Joel, Chris and Golden went for a run this am while we did this.
