Homeless...

http://whrrl.com/story/show/2207

This is a link to a story through pictures. My son Dustin lives in Seattle and this is what he does... He is the one in plaid shorts with "love" tattooed on the side of his head (I know..) He is a preacher to homeless folks, and co- founder of one4one ministry. He spends his days and nights helping people get clothes, food, shelter, id's, jobs, medical attention (his wife is an RN)...but most of all, loving the people that are the most unloved by our society.

God has equipped Dustin to minister to his generation. He certainly didn't "fit in" here in the bible belt of east Texas..but he has truly found his niche.

I'm so very proud of my son. Thanks for looking

Wow!! I'm impressed by your son's work!!! He is truly showing God's love to these people. Also, I'm impressed with how these people have sit up their camp. The rules and organization are to be commended!! They are good people in a bad situation.

Most of them ARE good people! Mayor Nickles says it's illegal for them to have tent cities on public land...making it illegal to be homeless So churches/people let them stay on private property until the city makes them move again. The last time they bulldozed their tents and belongings. It's just crazy. With the job situation like it is, there are plenty of homeless everywhere.
