You already know  that we have an opportunity to purchase a house in the heart of the  neighborhood where we&#8217;re ministering to the homeless and poor.

I&#8217;m sending you this email because  Joe is dead.
I think we could have helped.
The house I  emailed you about a couple weeks ago - an outpost in the heart of the  Sunnyslope neighborhood, where we&#8217;ve ministered to the homeless and poor  for 4 years - could have been an escape for [...]]]></description>

Joe was the very first person my wife Kim encountered when we began the ministry of Prodigal’s Home. She saw he had a crossword puzzle and, loving crossword puzzles herself, she decided to start a conversation with Joe. Since it was her first day in serving the homeless, she was [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Well, when the City of Phoenix tried to  make us quit, I asked you to pray about the future of Prodigal&#8217;s Home,  our ministry to the homeless and poor of Phoenix.
So if you  prayed, this is your fault!  
Because God has opened an  unbelievable, unforeseen door for us.
It&#8217;s a house [...]]]></description>

One  question I am often asked is &#8220;What is our &#8217;success&#8217; rate?&#8221;
In a  way, it&#8217;s an awful question.  Jesus, hanging on a cross, had a 50% success  rate with the two insurrectionist hanging there with him.
Maybe  it&#8217;s not politically (or religiously) correct to say that, but if you&#8217;re  talking &#8217;success&#8217; rate, it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

Give me the next two minutes of your time and I&#8217;ll show you how a homeless brother actually gets through a day.
It&#8217;s 3:00 a.m. and you roll over and hit your alarm.  Except in this case your alarm is battery operated and sitting on a rock next to you.  You are sleeping in the Phoenix [...]]]></description>
