latest UPDATE & PRAYER REQUEST
I have realized recently that I’m living at a higher level of faith and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ than ever before. He has been growing my trust in Him without my even realizing it.
That said, it’s still a wild – and sometimes challenging! – adventure to be on the road for Jesus full-time doing what He’s called me to do in ministry. He has made it totally clear to me I will continue to be on the road. That even when I stay in places for months at a time, such as in New York City or the p...

latest LITTLE LETTER FROM LARA
Dear friend, ………
The Lord’s will and ways don’t always make sense to us, but I’ve long since learned it really doesn’t matter. Whether or not we understand why God commands, calls, desires, and leads us to do what He wants us to do whether in the big picture or simply day by day really isn’t the point. What matters is that Jesus Christ is Lord, that we are to believe in Him as Lord and to live for Him as Lord, and that in all things whether big or small, we are to humble ourselves before God...latest DAILY INSPIRATION
THE YOUNG LADY WITH THE BROKEN HEART……..
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.” 2 Cor. 1:3-5…………
Yesterday I had the wonderful pleasure of introducing a young woman I met rec...

“Now behold, one came and said to Him, “Good Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?”
So He said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God. But if you want to enter into life, keep the commandments.”
He said to Him, “Which ones?”
Jesus said, “‘You shall not murder,’ ‘You shall not commit adultery,’ ‘You shall not steal,’ ‘You shall not bear false witness,’ ‘Honor your father and your mother,’ and, ‘You shall love your neighbo...

“I love those who love me, And those who seek me diligently will find me.” Proverbs 8:17…….
Sometimes we can find ourselves with people in our lives whose voices concerning the Lord are so loud that it’s hard to hear God Himself speaking to our hearts. It’s not necessarily that they want to talk so much and so strongly to us that we can’t hear the Lord, though that can be the case with some. But no matter their intention, the end result may be that we have trouble hearing the Lord for ourselv...

“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” Romans 8:14
One of the most brilliant lessons I’ve learned about serving the Lord is that there is a vast and vital difference between being led by the flesh and being led by the Spirit of God.
Today, for the third time in just days, I ran into a homeless friend who had told me she knew I was coming back to New York City because God had given her a dream about my coming back. I hadn’t even known I was coming back! I was con...
latest UPDATE & PRAYER REQUEST
The Lord continues to bless me with countless ministry opportunities, and I couldn’t be more excited and thankful – and, yes, a bit tired.
Yesterday, the Lord blessed me with something so very beautiful. I stood at a streetlight waiting to cross when I prayed simply, “Lord, please have me to run into so-and-so.” I had recently learned a homeless woman I dearly love had returned to New York City. Yet I didn’t know where she was staying or if and when I would run into her.
Friend, I looked acro...

latest LITTLE LETTER FROM LARA
Dear friend, ……
It amazes me how desperately I didn’t want to come back to New York City this summer for another season of streets ministry here and how immediately upon arrival I found myself fully surrendered and facing what since my arrival have been countless ministry opportunities. Everything I have needed, the Lord has provided. I have drawn closer to the Lord, and He is using me to draw others to Himself. It all began with God’s calling and one single act of obedience. One act of dying...
