Bus Station Harvest

"But blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence."Jer.

About Me

For those of you that don't already know every Wednesday the three of us go to the GET bus station downtown. In a nutshell: We pray for peoples needs. We basically walk up to whoever we feel God puts in our path and ask them if they need prayer. Sometimes we pray for them and other times our conversations will last for just a few minutes. We do come across those that reject us and so no pressure is given. But for the most part God places very interesting stories in our path and it is an honor to be used by Him week by week. One interesting point: almost everybody we talk to asks us the same thing; "What organization do you guys belong to?" They are usually surprised when we tell them: “We don't belong to an organization, we simply believe that God has a plan for your life, and that plan includes safety, an unbelievable hope for the future, and a purpose.” They are even more shocked to hear that we all go to different churches. It is a very humbling experience when we get a "Thank-you” from time to time. Our purpose for going is to simply share God's love with His people. So if you are interested in going please send us a message and we will get you the information. It's an exciting way to spend your Wednesday evening!

I'd like to meet:

I don't know who we would like to meet but every week we will be posting a blog prayer list of the people that we meet at the local bus station here in Bakersfield. If you are unable to join us on Wednesday nights we encourage you to pray for the names on the list. They greatly need our prayers and encouragement. If you have any prayer requests of your own just write us a message and we would be blessed to pray for you.
