have you ever thought about adopting a family of five?

you all know how much i appreciate your prayers, and many times i know i have asked you to keep the ministry and/or life here in the city in your prayers...but here i am again, asking that you pray with me through some things.
its a little bit of an odd request, but i would like you to pray for food. as you know, we feed the kids at the center dinner, 4 nights a week, and in the last month or so the number of kids we have for dinner has grown to 35-50 kids a night. for many years now, we have been blessed to be able to do this at a very affordable rate, since we are able to access food from the san francisco foodbank. however, as many of you obviously know, the economy is in such a weird place that it has really taken it's toll everywhere and the foodbank is no exception. the food bank has a very limited supply of food and what they do have to offer doesnt create a meal. this week was the first week that we have felt the effects of this as our freezers have slowly emptied. we were forced to buy groceries at a local pak'n'save which got us through the next week or so, but our budget wont allow for this to be a permanent solution.
so i ask simply that you would pray for food. we know that God will provide for all our needs, and that when we ask for bread he will not give us a stone...
again, thank you so much for always being willing to pray with me though these things...

***UPDATE***
God is so good! went to the foodbank today and took home a van load of great food! thanks for all your prayers!

    and this song is one of the reasons:

Yesterday, when you were young,
Everything you needed done was done for you.
Now you do it on your own
But you find you're all alone,
What can you do?

You and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now.

You know there will be days when you're so tired that you can't take another step,
The night will have no stars and you'll think you've gone as far as you will ever get

But you and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now
And yeah, yeah, go where you want to go
Be what you want to be,
If you ever turn around, you'll see me.

I can't really say why everybody wishes they were somewhere else
But in the end, the only steps that matter are the ones you take all by yourself

And you and me walk on
Yeah you and me walk on
Cause you can't go back now
Walk on, walk on, walk on
You can't go back now
