Jan, from Early Seekers, sent me this awesome note today:
God Morning Friends and Family
Thank you to all those who came this morning to help out at KP. We love and appreciate you so much. We seemed to have plenty of lunches for everyone today… I know many of us have been making extras so that no one goes without. Thank you ! We are very grateful to you all !l. Thank you guys for lugging all our bags of clothing onto the truck for us. And thank you to all who donated the beautiful clothing. Ginny and I go thru them all at church during the week and lable them with sz tags and then we pack them up in our zipper bags, and we take as many of the bags that will fit in our cars and we bring them to KP each week as well..The rest of the bags we leave in our clothing room at pt. The guys on the food truck are so gracious to take them out and lug the rest of them to KP for us, so thanks so much guys.! We love you !
When we first arrived today walking into the park with our stuff a few of the homeless came up to us and said good luck girls… they told us that many people were acting up in the park before we got there . We said a silent prayer, and we didn’t have any huge issues. Thank you Lord, and thank you that you are always there and watching over us and looking out for us and our safety .
Prayer Requests
Homeless needs……… men and ladies, hoodies ,sweatpants, winter jackets, and mens pants (all sizes)
Sharon has many pressures to meet deadlines ,and many responsibilities on her shoulders, also healing of spot on her lung.
Jan ( me ) I need prayer for myself. Today I was a little short with someone who very often gets demanding. I love my friends at kp with all my heart. I really am a huge advocate of the homeless and I am usually very understanding and loving and always standing up for them. anyone who truly knows me, knows that about me. They are truly dear to my heart, but sometimes when some of them get demanding and take advantage of that… It is sometimes” trying” to always respond with a Godly spirit as they are yelling , and today I was not as loving with my words. Although this man knows I love and care about him and he teases me every week because he knows me … but cons me into giving and giving to him, because he is a very close friend of my nephew , and many times gets more than his share…because he thinks I should always favor him. so today he was just getting so demanding and I kind of told him that.I feel bad because I want always to respond nicely and be pleasant and not let my attitude affect anyone wrongly. Please pray that I will always catch myself and respond with a soft and loving answer. I know this man was not offended ( he knows how much I love and care about him) so I am not worried about that,…. but I do want to be always loving and respectful to everyone in all situations. Feeling sad about it all …and need your prayers……. forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” – Philippians 3:13-14
Kelly she was in tears , as her boyfriend got arrested this week and is in jail…God knows the situation,…pray for him ,and her needs at this difficult time.

Open the floodgates of heaven Lord to bring peace and joy to the broken hearted to those whose eyes are filled with tears , to the lost and confused… to those who are seeking to find something that will satisfy ..Let them see and hear your voice speaking and drawing them to yourself. For you oh Lord are all that we need…. You are calling us to yourself …. you are all that they are seeking…. Some looking in all the wrong places… Unknowingly… they are seeking YOU lord …. .. ONLY YOU can satisfy our souls. You alone are all that matters.You alone can make all things right. Break thru the walls and barriers that have built up and keep them bound .
Housing for the homeless
My friends that are in the Early Seekers Outreach Program sent me the following update today…I’m so proud of all they do!!! We are in desperate need of sandwiches, if there is anything you can do to help it would be greatly appreciated!!!
We had another Bright, Brisk ,Beautiful and Blessed Morning in the Lord at KP today!
We passed out many large bags of clothing, socks,sandwiches, coffee, snacks, and lots of love and good cheer. Many were so very grateful for all the blessings and all the prayers you all have donated and offered up for them. The “Early Seekers” who volunteer in this Ministry are also very Grateful for all of you who donate and are such faithful prayer warriors. God Bless you. May you all be continuously blessed and filled with lots of love and Happiness each and every day in the coming New Year. We ran out of sandwiches/lunches very quickly today. We seemed to have had a shortage this week. If anyone has it on their heart to make and donate sandwiches, we could sure use some extras… you can drop them by the church on Fridays and label them Early seekers. We would be so very appreciative.
Some of the homeless ask us for prayer, and below are their Prayer Requests. Many of our homeless told us today that “we pray for all of you”. How blessed to know that we are on their hearts and in their prayers. Please pray for one of our faithful donors and wonderful Christian friends ( Lyn ) who suffered a heart attack a few days ago and is in the hospital after undergoing a serious operation of heart blockages yesterday. Praying for a quick recovery.
- George Stockwell His Step Mom just passed away…. she had recently been diagnosed with cancer. Please pray for the family.
- Also George’s Mom was in a car accident she is doing ok but shaken up and recovering from bruises and aches and pains
- Louie One of our “Overcomers” died from an OD yesterday. Please pray for the family and all the “Overcomers” who are very shaken and upset from this tragic news.
- Haji A very polite and great guy,…. Needs a winter jacket so very badly…. he has been asking us for 2 weeks now and we just haven’t had one his size. He needs a 1x or 2x size . also asked for prayers for his son. if anyone has one they no longer need and can donate, we would be so grateful .( Please see Ginny or Jan )
- Brian This man has been through so much…. has a very hard exterior image… comes across as a tough, don’t mess with me kind of guy but is really a softy inside. He has come so close to coming to pt but just has not yet done so. he accepted Jesus into his heart a couple of years ago, said the sinners prayer with Ginny, as she led him to Christ. and still his eyes fill with tears when ever you tell him Jesus loves him. The enemy is hard at work and would seek to take him down and away from a life of Christ’s leading, but we know that he can’t win. If this man gave his whole life over to Jesus he would be an awesome testimony and an amazing soul winner and soldier of Christ as many of our homeless know him and revere him …… He always stands by and protects and watches over us girls when we are at KP .He makes sure that no one hurts or harms us in any way…. and most know that if they do they will have to answer to him.So we know we are always safe when he is around us.

She said ” I just want my old life back I was never a street person… and I hope To go back to working at the Roger Williams park Zoo. ” She is a sweetheart, didn”t want anything today except to say Hi and asked for prayer.
- Joseph, Needs a blanket and toiletries
- Frances Another great friend, as I mentioned last week ,he is also there every week and looks after us and calms the crowds should they get a little rowdy or rambunctious. He loves the Lord and attends LIU service regularly at pt. He has many needs as well…. never really mentions them much but God knows. Pray that God provides him with everything he needs and that he keeps walking in the path and direction that God would have for him.
- Felicia was supposed to have surgery last week on a blockage in her throat but it got postponed… will be having it soon, she attends pt every Sunday, loves the Lord.
- Ray for his daughter to stay safe and well.
- Giovani For his kids
- Ray needs a lift in his spirits ,he is always there at kp every week always helps us in any way he can. Has things in his past that he is not proud of … and some who know him wont leave him alone about it, and he is ashamed …. but has changed his life over… loves the Lord and wants to move forward leave the past behind and continue to follow Him.
- Frances also helps us to get the word out for bus schedules…. told us and the homeless that if they use the RIPTA bus to go to church…. that they can take bus # 3 or 20. OR We also have our PT buses that P/U at 8AM (for our Sunday service) at KP, Crossroads, and Prov Rescue, Thank you Frances.

Hey! Thanks for checking in! We received the following email update from the folks who passed out food and clothes to the homeless Downcity this morning:
We had a very Blessed day in the Lord at KP today.
We were able to pass out coats and clothing, socks, toiletries and lunches etc. Lidia brought clothing and homemade cookies Barbara brought coats and clothing as well. and many were so blessed to have received the much needed items and also the coffee that Chuck and George always faithfully provide as well as all the sandwiches that every one of you provide for them. we ran out of food pretty quickly tho… many hungry among us today. So surprised to see many new faces so sad really to see more and more homeless on the streets of Providence. many looked lost and seemed in weakened condition… maybe from an illness, a cold, or the flu, or maybe just weary from struggling to survive out here in the cold and brutal weather.
There was such an unsettling spirit there today many just seemed restless, irritable and, I don’t know just difficult in some ways.
We love them anyway on good days and bad… .when they are on their best behavior or not.. who can blame them what do they have really? many have even lost their hope. ..Just difficult to see and witness. we pray with them and offer encouragement as best we can, we tell them we love them and share with them God’s love for them.
It must be a very difficult time of year for them, so many have only the clothes on their backs . how hard it must be for them knowing they have nothing to give to their loved ones family and friends. and many have no family to love on them and share the joy of Christmas with….no one to share…no one to care.
The sadness in their faces says it all and it is heart wrenching to witness. We offer and are able to provide these little bits of comfort for the day. Only wish we had the means to erase all the pain and provide homes jobs, family restorations, and so much more, We leave them there and promise to pray for a better life for them. It is so hard to leave them , and go home….. your mind and heart repeatedly reminding you of the sadness of their plight.
Please keep them all in your prayers God is able to turn things around for all of them and I know that if my heart breaks how much more our God for He loves and cares ever much more than we can even imagine, for he is their heavenly Father.
Didn’t get too many prayer requests today…. so busy… and the hustle and bustle is sometimes overwhelming and just difficult to get everyone to share whats on their heart. but we pray for each and every one and God knows all their needs.
