Vacation

Sorry I haven't updated this for a while. I know the summer will be busy, but I'll try to post updates about every week.

Right now I'm vacationing in Florida at my cousins house. It's a good time, very relaxing. I'm here till Saturday and then back to NYC for the much more intense summer.

Beautiful Day at Tompkins Square Park

These are some pics of our time at Tompkins Square Park today. We go to this park nearly every Tuesday during the year and sometimes twice a week during the summer. David Van Fleet, the founder and director of Street Life Ministries, has been doing ministry in this park for many years.

We are intentional about loving people and being the church in a public place. This comes forth in different ways which includes giving; clothing, food, hot chocolate or lemonade, and care packs to help meet their immediate needs. Some people we encounter are homeless and some are not. Also, we believe in God's desire to meet with and change people, and the power of prayer.

Downtown Flushing

I live in an area of Queens called Flushing. Often on Saturdays, we go downtown to do a prayer station and hand out food and drink. It seems to be a good way to connect with people and try to show some love. It's a very Asian community, lots of Chinese and Korean. Historically, I'm told, that it's significant because it's the birthplace of religious freedom in America.

The first pic is me and my friend Bob, that I've known for a couple years. He often helps us hand out clothing when we go to Tompkins Square Park on Tuesdays.

Street Life Ministries

This is the front of the house where I live in Queens, NY (Street Life Ministries). We do a variety of different things, but we're very intentional about worship, prayer, discipleship, and caring for the poor and homeless.

I guess I've started a blog

Welcome to Jeryl's life.

I recently moved to NYC to work with Street Life Ministries. Its somewhat of a new beginning for me and I anticipate this to be a good time in my life and for growth to occur in my relationship with Jesus.

So, I thought it appropriate to start a blog. Its my intention to randomly update this in order to keep my friends and family updated on what's going on in my life. Let me know what ya think from time to time and definitely try to remember me in your prayers.
