This world is not our home but God blesses us greatly by providing us as individuals with homes. Even though the homeless in our area don't have traditional places to live, they often find a part of town that becomes familiar and where there is a sense of attachment. Many of our homeless friends are facing an order from various cities to vacate their spots this week. We pray for them as they are considering where to settle. We pray that in their fear, and uncertainty that they would turn to Jesus for help, first in repentance. We continually pray they find satisfaction in Christ rather than in substances. We pray for hearts of transformation by God's word. We pray that we will stay faithful to the gospel and faithful to serve the homeless with compassion and truth.

Temperatures are still high during our Saturday outreach events. We've kept on with our offer of cold brew coffee to folks rather than hot cups of coffee and it continues to be appreciated. On this last outreach we gave out: 9 English Bibles, 1 in Spanish, and 2 addiction books. Occasionally we have an outreach that is a little light on the photos and this last Saturday was one of those. But we are thankful for the depth of conversations that the Lord allowed and the connections made. We continue to be grateful that we can remain faithful to this gospel ministry. Although this report is short, we still appreciate your prayers for those named here. 

The ministry is still going strong and we are thankful for our faithful volunteers who continue to serve even on hot summer days. We sent teams into North and Central Concord, Martinez, and Vallejo and we had one Bible study participant, Mark who joined us for his second Bible study. We were able to distribute 14 English Bibles and 3 Addiction books: 'Cross Talking, a daily gospel for transforming addicts.' We are thankful for many extensive gospel conversations where the Word was shared. Praying for the Lord to bring clear fruit.
