Good Evening Friends,
In Isaiah 6:8 we read, “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: Who should I send? Who will go for Us? I said: Here I am. Send me.”
Tonight, I’d like to share with you a couple pictures and what our fellow workers are doing at the Salvation Army Female Emergency Shelter (SAFES) in downtown Portland. Executive Director Becky McBrayer shared the attached photos and the following information of what they are doing for people in need:
“SAFES is serving over 2,000 hot meals and handing out hundreds of survivals supplies each week to men and women through a service window. There is a long line of people experiencing homelessness outside our building each day waiting for help. People have remarked that SAFES is serving the best food downtown right now!”
Well done Becky and all those who answer the call by saying. “Send me!”
Let’s pray,
Lord, we are so thankful for the opportunities you have presented us to serve you and our neighbors. Thank you for sending us to carry out the work that needs to be done. Thank you specially for Becky, the employees, and the volunteers at SAFES who are making a difference in downtown Portland. Bless them in their work and bless the people who receive the meals and supplies provided. May SAFES always have the food they need to prepare another meal, to serve another hungry neighbor, and to provide a hand up. Keep them safe from the virus, strong in their commitment, and rested to serve another day. Lord we ask this for all of our corps and programs throughout the division.
Thank you most of all for they salvation you offer. We ask these things in your precious name.
Amen
