We had an incredible encounter on the streets of Colorado Springs tonight. Seth Barnes, Gary Black, Andrew Shearman (an incredible, wonderful Englishman) and yours truly, were walking downtown for dinner.

A homeless man named, "Jersey Joe" asked us for a few bucks. Seth stopped and talked with him and said, "Man do you need some prayer?" He said, "Do I ever!" We started to pray for him and he cried out, "Lay hands on me, lay hands on me!" So we did, and prayed down heaven on this child of God. It was raw, it was real, it was ministry.

Turns out, he used to be a deacon in his church. In tears he asked for God’s help and thanked us again and again for his prayers. We were having church on the streets of Colorado and it was great! Who knows what will happen to Jersey Joe, but we brought the Kingdom into his life. The rest is up to God.

It was a reminder to me that Jesus is hidden in the lives of the poor. Matthew 25 is a strong reminder to us what is most important in life. Jesus said, "As you’ve done it unto the least of these, you’ve done it unto me."
