Prayer request for our friends in tent city

Today the property owners of the location we call "tent city" evicted the homeless folks that live there and set the property and items in and around tent city under the blade of a bulldozer.  At this time tent city is gone and the folks who lived there are scattered all over town. I spent some time tonight in the streets looking for them and trying to find where they had gone. I found one guy who I can not name. He told me that they were hiding form the Police and did not want to tell me where some of the folks were. He did say that they were scattered all over.

While tent city was not the best situation for City or even the folks that called this place home, We ministers, at least knew where they were and how to find them so we could help them.  I am not sure what is next for our City or the homeless here. I am very concerned for the well being of these people and of our City.

I would ask all of our supporters to consider this situation in prayer.  Please pray that Godly wisdom and compassion would rule in this City.  I am concerned that without Godly Love, Compassion, and Wisdom....what ill fate will befall these trapped people next.

I need to be clear that this is not a political post....Just a plea for Compassion.  In the name of Jesus....
