Street Stories

Ep 20: Robert

SHOW LESSRobert was just like every other homeless we serve on a weekly basis, except for one thing - he liked to paint his nails and wear blouses. He was a quiet mannered, respectful, nice man. He said painting his nails made him feel pretty, and he just wanted to feel pretty sometimes. We love everyone in our ministry, no matter what they are wearing - but we can't say the same for some in our society. On one particular day, some "tough" guys would take it out on Robert for how he was dressed, and Robert's life would never be the same again.  Listen in as Pastor Skip tells the story of Robert.

Ep 19: Fritz. A Toothless Grin And A Thankful Heart

She was spotted up head next to the famous Varsity restaurant downtown Atlanta. Old, arthritic, and bound to a wheelchair. After meeting Fritz for the first time, it was clear to Pastor Skip that this lady would be someone to remember. As it happens with most of the people we meet on the street, they bless us more than we can bless them.  And so it was with Fritz - barely any teeth, homeless in a wheelchair, but smiling from ear to ear.  Here is her story.   To give a one-time or monthly donation, click here: https://ppay.co/Po4hzANeR74 [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbExGbHRkWkdCWU00WWVPSl96cTZnM1hwaHZtd3xBQ3Jtc0tuZWU3aHBrbEZpTDhfWmpoQ2l4bFlDR0xHZVM5QWNXUl9YOWhNdUFuendVczF4NmJ2Y0ZJMk52VFk5blFWMzFUN1NtVng2cmlNNThtcVRNRFJBblVkTTMyOXJDajkzanB0ZHFfd29zVWQ4V1Z3ZXJSYw&q=https%3A%2F%2Fppay.co%2FPo4hzANeR74&v=1C1uymMDN2c]  For more information about our ministry click here: www.wots4homeless.com

Ep 18: Lindsay Was A Fighter

Lindsay was a fighter. A man who struggled with drugs most of his life and came to know Christ later in life. During one of our Sunday dinners, Pastor Skip was teaching the Parable of the 4 Soils and God spoke to Lindsay that day. At that moment Lindsay's eternity was changed forever, but his life would still come with many struggles.   His main struggle would always be cocaine, and it would ultimately result in his death, during a drug deal gone wrong.   Listen in on the beautiful story of Lindsay, a friend to Pastor Skip and a brother in Christ.   www.wots4homeless.com/give

Ep 17: Chris Had No Fuse

Pastor Skip knew Chris from back in his High School teacher days, when Chris was his student. Fast forward quite a few years, and Skip is teaching Chris, but not academics. Tune in to hear the story of how Pastor Skip and Chris crossed paths years later, and how WOTS has impacted Chris's life.

Ep 16: Annette Doesn't Like Funnel Cakes

In this episode of Street Stories, we get to know Annette, a small but courageous lady living on the street in the heart of St. Pete, FL.  During a family trip for his grandson's birthday, Skip had the chance to meet Annette. We learned of her distaste for funnel cake, but her love of Chinese food, smiling, and hugs! It was a blessing to meet her and we think you'll be blessed as well.
