A Homeless Woman And A Houseless Man
I still can’t go out witnessing due to health issues, but I thank and praise God that some of my friends went out Friday night. Joshua, Lydia and Michael went witnessing downtown and they talked to a homeless woman and a houseless man. I must admit that I hadn’t heard the term houseless instead of homeless, so I googled it and found a video from a homeless “expert” that said it’s some of the homeless themselves that make the distinction. Their reasoning is that “home is where the heart is” is you have home wherever you are, but you can still be houseless. Again, I’d never heard this distinction before.
More importantly, here’s the update from Friday night from Michael’s own words, “Joshua, Lydia, and I went downtown last night. We came across a homeless lady named Nancy that we’ve met before. She took a Paul Washer booklet on the Gospel. We handed out some tracts and met a “houseless” (as he said, not homeless) man named John. We talked with him for awhile. He claimed Christ, but there doesn’t seem to be fruit. It was not an easy conversation. He had some knowledge of Scripture but mixed with some other ideas of his. We tried pointing him to Christ, though he didn’t seem to understand. But God is able to use that conversation. In the end, he took a Bible and some other things we gave him to read.” Again, praise God for Michael, Lydia and Joshua sharing the Gospel in downtown Springfield, MO on Friday night and may God save Nancy and John and may the Lord bless the other tracts that were handed out.

To whomever it may concern,
My name is David Ikosa. I have been following the Seek & Save the Lost Ministries for Months now. I commend you for doing all you can to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those who live where you reside in Springfield, Missouri, America.
I want to know, is there more we can do to assist the homeless Humans, in terms of Books, Clothing, Drink, Entertainment, Food, Shelter, Shoes, Stationery, Transportation, Toiletries, etc?
Please let me know.
Absolutely. Be sure to share the Gospel through witnessing to those you encounter or be sure to hand out Gospel tracts too. Some of my friends have handed out blessing bags provided by their church (with tracts), we’ve given out sleeping bags, bought meals and handed out water, etc. It’s always great to help out physically when you are able, but lost souls mainly need to be spiritually fed. So please don’t forget that part when helping others with their physical needs.
Hello Dennis,
Oh, okay. I try to do so, but I do not have much. I really want to go beyond the spiritual aspect of Humans needs, & also reach their physical aspect of these Humans needs as well. Is there a way to donate to this Ministry, so that both I, & others can make it happen?
Thank you.
David, thank you for your kind offer. I’ve never asked for donations. Let me pray about that and get back with you. Thanks, Dennis
