A brief overview
Friday - Extremely quiet - a cold biting wind with sleet at times - very few chats as people weren't hanging around. Pubs, including Kings Tun, were fairly empty, although Oceana did quite well. judging by their queue. The new Triage 'safe place' at the Market Hall also had a very quiet night.
Saturday The Town Centre appears to be quiet in view of the weather we have been experiencing.

1. Please continue to pray for the protection of the URC Kingston building and the safety of the team.  Since praying for the building we have not had another attack.

8. Please pray for Southend who are in need of more Street Pastors that they will raise up new team.
9. Please pray for the new Triage and place of safety at the Market House in Kingston on Friday and Saturdays.

I thought this week I would encourage you with the random acts of kindness that we are bringing to Kingston, and some responses to them:

A young woman (20?) with her friend had been brought in by door staff, having stubbed her toe badly.  Brenda had provided TLC
Dina and Katie comforted the half asleep Tamara and kept her warm with a space blanket.
2.15 am Eddie (homeless) was sitting in his usual place by Dallas Chicken.  We got him a mug of tea.
The fender in the middle of the road was causing traffic sweeping round the bend to swerve - an accident waiting to happen.  When the road was clear, Phil moved the fender to the kerb.
We took the opportunity to thank him again for his assistance last week with a girl who he helped.
He is a Christian and we prayed for him to find favour in work and friendships.
They said they appreciated what we did, were glad of our presence and felt safer when they see the Street Pastors out
The one that said he was gay hugged us for our response.
We commended her for being that responsible as an individual, spoke to her about forgiving her friend, God’s love and Street Pastors.

Please pray for the Street Pastors that are going out this
Friday – Paul, Lorraine Gilby, Sue Fraser, Jason and Estrella. Prayer pastors - Mike Parker
Mike Sainsbury
Sat - Tracey Germain, Dereen, Helen Fish and John. Need 1 Street Pastor and 2 prayer pastors
Yours in Christ

Paul Jacobs, Street Pastor Kingston Coordinator
