At East Palo Alto 7-Eleven Plaza, we met a sister struggling to pay her rent. She had first passed by our outreach event in July and later joined us in worship. We could see her deep love for Jesus.
One of our pastors gathered the volunteers and shared James 2:15-17: “Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, ‘Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,’ but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” He reminded us to live out our faith through action and love. Immediately, the volunteers joyfully gave what they had, and within minutes, the sister collected enough to pay her rent in full! Praise God—He is faithful!
From that moment, the atmosphere shifted. The Holy Spirit’s presence was powerful in the plaza, and the volunteers shared the gospel with great joy! The sister even joined us in proclaiming the Good News. By the end of the outreach, 10 people gave their lives to Jesus at 7-Eleven!
