We recieved this email today. Bill, this is the homeless man that lived in a van on Flippen Road that you told me about, a long time ago. We have been taking food, hygiene kits, Christian tracts, and, we gave him a Bible, ever since y'all told me where he was. We have been praying with him for some time now. He prayed to accept Jesus Christ as his Saviour when we visited him a month or so ago.
Thank you, my Brother, for what you do.
May The Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
May the Lord lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
Blessings,
Frankie

Frankie, I found out that Johnny passed away yesterday around 2:30pm. His friend Everett took hjm to his brother’s house on Saturday after we left.
His brother told “us” thank you for ministering to him. I told him that Johnny was with Jesus now, and his brother told me that he had been praying for Johnny for a long time. I want to thank you for listening to “the spirit” and being obedient!! You found Johnny a long time ago and met some of his needs.
If you had not of stopped there on Saturday, he would have never had a phone to call Everett, and probably would have died all alone in that house. God Is right on time isn’t He? He is so awesome!! Thank you for what you do for “The Kingdom.” Love, Star*

I drive Flippen Road quite often, and noticed this man (Johnny) living in a van back from the road. I don't think the van ran anymore and he had turned it into his house with an awning and a steel barrel that he had burning for heat when it was cold. I mentioned Johnny to Frankie and Frankie wasted no time stopping and ministering to Johnny and giving him food. I just didn't know how to approach Johnny but Frankie did.
ReplyDeleteThis email made me very sad that Johnny had passed away, but I know he's with Jesus because Frankie was there.
Blessings -
