Friday night we showed the movie Amazing Grace at the Bridge. It was a great time of entertainment, fellowship, and ministry.
The movie tells the story of William Wilberforce who fought to abolish slavery in England. It also tells the story of John Newton, who wrote the words to the song Amazing Grace. John is a monk who is haunted by his past as a slave ship owner. He “once was blind” to his sins and “now can see” the destruction his sins have caused. He recorded his story to be used in the legal battle against slave trade.

After the movie we heard the testimony of Phill, who was once homeless himself. He was addicted to Crack, and has come to live a new life in Christ. After Phill spoke, I shared the gospel of Christ and then prayed for our time and closed the evening by leading the room of homeless men and women in the song Amazing Grace. It was a beautiful sound. I wish you could have heard them.

Afterward we passed out gift bags to almost 275 people, and left about 75 for the staff to give to anyone who came in late.
Please pray for the homeless. For many, the holidays are a reminder of families that they have lost and emotional pain that won’t stop hurting.
