As Street Chaplains, staff of Harvest of Hope see God's hand powerfully on the late and early morning streets of Northbridge (Perth's entertainment district). Last night was no exception. The night was full of incidents pointing to God's love and providence. Helping a woman who had drug overdosed and providing a pillow for her head and a soft hand to stroke her hair as she violently vomited. Restraining fighting Aboriginal girls 'hell-bent' on hurting each other. Or giving out water and food to the homeless. The night was a constant movement in God's direction to those in need. At the beginning of the night Raymond had taken some food for the homeless. The food ran out within the first hour.
However, on venturing to the Christian Cafe - the Overflow - we were donated six gourmet sandwiches just as the Cafe closed. We knew instantly this was God's provision and an answer to prayer. Within two hours each sandwich had been given to the most needy. Old and homeless men who appreciated the food. Jesus is still feeding the hungry, you only need pray then open your eyes.
What a wonderful testimony of God's provision. Thanks for sharing this :-)

He has caused his wonders to be remembered; the LORD is gracious and compassionate. He provides food for those who fear him; he remembers his covenant forever.
