Greetings Saints,
Today was a emotional day for me. Let me see if I can tell you
about it. On The Way into Wichita I pick up a Family that is having
their home foreclosed on. They have no lights so I have been buying lamp
oil for them. Their daughter is 17 and 8 1/2 months pregnant or was
about a week or so ago so baby now anytime.
When I first get there I help Grandma get set up. We put our
donuts, start the coffee and put the bench outside for smoking around
the corner of the building. No I do not smoke nor condone it but they do
it. besides many short teachings, sermons and prayers have came in the
"smoking place"!
Today it was really cold. Out of the first 24 people in 16 had no
hats. I went to the dollar store and got stocking hats for them. Grandma
fixed them sandwiches till about 3 PM.
Sister Willi came in. Now she picks up the donated donuts but does
many other things as well. More all the time. She works with the
clothing that comes in and helps find everyone their needs. It's a big
job keeping track of everyone sizes etc. She also passed out about 2
dozen pairs of Gloves today. I know she is always busy.
when I first got back with the Library people a female Minister
from the Baptist church down the street dropped in to see what we did.
She told me she was coming and said she was going to donate some beef
roasts. I am sure she will...but that's between her and the Father. She
was amazed at how many people got out of the ministry van when I pulled
up. That was funny.
Part of the thing that upset me is looking at the clothing. You
see we donated some clothing out to another ministry ( Willi took care
of the Mission clothing) and Mom ( my wife) also cleaned out the house
next door which is ministry storage. She donated some children's summer
clothing to make way for a load of clothing that we were told would be
here with Food, coats, etc on November 21st. We got all ready for them
and then just no show, no phone call no email nothing./ Who knows what
happened to them. Again that's between then and God. You know in the
Torah your Word becomes your law when you utter it. Oh well Things will
come when things will come. People should just not say things unless
they are going to do it. If something happens or they change their mind
they should at least tell you should they not?
Right now I just ran out of blankets. I know a ministry who has
many in storage I pray I can make contact with them as the people need
them now.
Today I had most of the people already at the mission when I went
to the library. Carl was there waiting on me. he got in the Van and I
started to go. Then the Holy Spirit moved on me to wait. I wanted to
hurry up and get there but I did as I was told.
Then I'll call him Shag ( not for his hair, long story) stumbled up to
Carl's window. I new something was funny as he tried to get up front and
Carl was there. Carl opened the side door for me and he kind of fell in.
he was crying. Saying "No, no, not now, help me pastor Dan" I
held his hand as I drove and asked what was wrong. He said he was about
to go into a seizure. We had to hurry to the mission about 1 mile away.
I got to the Mission ( mind you praying all the time.) we took him
in and put him in a chair. Low Blood sugar about to seizure and could go
into a coma. I asked for the Lord to intercede and pour sugar and juice
down him all the while holding him praying. Hugging him as he cried.
About that time the new Veterans homeless worker came in to meet
me. She asked where is Pastor Dan...All pointed to me on the floor
hugging this guy pouring juice down him.
I look when I'm working with the people just about the same as
they do. The Father told me when I came out of the world to stay looking
the way I do ( Biker like) as he had use of me. Anyway I could tell she
was shocked. But Praise the Lord now she is coming every Tuesday to
check on the ex military people. They hate going to the VA center. You
vets can relate.
then we ate. Mom ( my wife sisterlinda) had made very good meat
loaf. ( boy we could use some donations for meat but I have faith the
father will provide.)
After seeing to everyone's needs I drive some home, some to the
Union mission( where they have 38 beds for men. not enough,) some to
streets and various other places they sleep. It's a wonder that old van
makes it. You see everyday I go over I put 120 miles round trip on it.
Plus all the driving around. Many people have had prayers and even
miracles happen in that van or because the Lord used it.
I wish the Lord would send me someone to help with the driving as
it is getting more and more all the time. It's very hard with my health
but I will not stop unless the father tells me or I drop. He's in
control not I.
So now you have just a small part of one of my Days. Then I
come home wondering if even this computer will fire up. The Saint ( our
Web master) told me basically I need to upgrade repair or whatever. The
Below in red is from him.
You see between the mail out newsletter and this list this is how
our ministry is funded. We have a few people that Bible study with this
but not near enough to support this work. Besides most people do not
agree with our view's of the Bible ( Messianic) and so they do not help
us. Below is what I need to raise to have the computer fixed it's a real
need. Pray about and the Father's work.
In Yeshua Messiah's Love and Servcie, Brother Dan
Pastor of Messiah's Branch
Okay,
on a quick run through, I have found the following:
(these
are in no particular order)
AMD
Duron 1200+ (should be a processor speed of approx. 1 GHz)
sound
video
network
adapter
256MB
RAM
40Gb Hard drive
Modem
This
set up would run approx. $225.00 (of course this can be changed a
little to assist the price. however, the RAM for this particular
system would have to be purchased new as it is a different style...)
Option
#2
AMD
Athlon XP 1700+ (actual processor speed is 1.47 GHz)
audio
video
Network
adapter
256
MB RAM ( not necessarily needed, but would speed things up a little)
This
would run approx. $220.00
Notice this
is short the Hard drive, which I am beginning to feel you will be
needing shortly....
Note
We really would like option two but add $80 for a hard drive. Saints
it's clear we need about $225.00 to about $350.00 but the latter
would really set us for awhile. Today the computer started up, but
reading the errors on it it says the hard drive is about to bite the
dust. That would be really bad,
Shalom,

Spirit being happy not sad, and taking care of the people
