No Where to Lay His Head

Matt 8:20 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.

Interesting verse! Sometimes I hear people say that God doesn't understand them, that He doesn't really know what they are going through. Sounds like Jesus can understand homelessness.

My team and I were reaching out to a girl who had become despondent. She didn't know where she was going to live because rent was due and funds were short. She opened up to us how she had been on her own her whole teen life. I found out her parents are in prison.

I starting thinking about the dream of Bill, Dustin, and I to have a Project 52 Retreat Center someday. Wouldn't it have been cool to say to this young woman, "hey, come to our retreat center and you can stay here for awhile while we help you with a game plan."

Im sharing this with you because I believe there are readers out there who share the same passion we do. I sense God doing some awesome things with all three of us, with the ministry, and with you.

God has called us to reach out to people including the ones who are wondering where they will lay their head.

Please pray about this dream of ours to give people hope and to help them rest in the arms of Jesus who understands them and loves them beyond our comprehension.

In Christ,
Pastor John
