Born Again at 51

Our surprise Birthday party for "R" last night was wonderful`.

Over 7 months ago "R" was only hoping to make it through the winter. It was certain that if the winter didn't kill him the alcohol would. But God had other plans.

Prayer changed everything and over seven months ago "R" took his last drink and came off the streets into our shelter. Almost 4 months ago he moved into an apartment and has continued to be blessed exceedingly and abundantly beyond all he could hope or think.

Yes ,"R" was born into this world 52 years ago but he was Born Again last year and God has made him a new man. Today he has a street ministry of his own and rolls with us on our Monday night outreach in Springfield.

"R" we are glad to call you brother and friend! Happy Birthday.
