Latest LITTLE LETTER FROM LARA
Dear friend, …….
Do you know what each new day brings? Much, of course. But first and foremost, the opportunity to live and breathe for the Lord Jesus Christ. To love and glorify God almighty. To love and serve Jesus. To spend time alone with God with the Bible open in our laps and our hearts open to the love and teaching of the Lord. ……..
Today, will you make Jesus number one in your life in all that you do? In all that you say? Will you live in this day – and for always – above all else to...

THE JESUS LADY …….
“Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.” Luke 24:46-47……..
“Got some change?” a homeless man on a New York City sidewalk essentially asked me one day.

“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

LET US BE LIKE CHILDREN ……..
“Then Jesus called a little child to Him, set him in the midst of them, and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.” Mt. 18:2-4………One day I began to think about what it really looks like to be a child in the presence of a loving father.

Latest UPDATE & PRAYER REQUEST
I’ve now been back in New York City for my second season of streets ministry here for just a week, and I’ve been blessed with numerous ministry opportunities already. That said, I’ve also been reminded that being on the streets of a place like New York City make prayers for health, wisdom, safety, protection, security, and provision prominent in my heart as far as prayers are concerned.
I absolutely did not want to come back to New York City but returned in my love for and obedience to Christ...
Latest LITTLE LETTER FROM LARA
Dear friend, ………
A woman shared with me how someone told her something blatantly false about the Lord Jesus Christ. Her response was clear, direct, and simple. She told the person the truth concerning the Lord Jesus Christ. ……What beautiful love, boldness, and courage!
Can we say the same about ourselves? Do we know the truth about the Lord Jesus Christ? Do we know who He is, what He did, what He is doing, and what He will do, all clearly described in the Bible? Have we turned from our sins,...
