Amazing Story of HOMELESS MAN in Previous Article

Hey there, beloved readers! I just received an email from another one of my readers, who excitedly pointed out that the young man whose photograph I posted on my previous article, was actually a missing person. 

The AP photograph (below) helped his parents to locate him and become reunited with him after he was missing in the brutal cold for four days now. 

Amazing how God works!

(Nicholas Simmons, pictured in my previous article)

Nicholas Simmons disappeared from his parents' house in a small upstate New York town on New Year's Day, leaving behind his wallet, cell phone and everything else.

Four days later, an Associated Press photographer, looking for a way to illustrate unusually cold weather, snapped his picture as he warmed himself on a steam grate a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol.

Paul and Michelle Simmons saw the AP photograph in USA Today Sunday morning after it was brought to their attention through a Facebook page set up to help find their son, according to police and family friends.

The photo, taken Saturday by AP photographer Jacquelyn Martin, showed Simmons with his unshaven face pressed against a grate outside the Federal Trade Commission. He wore a ski jacket and a hood over his head. A thick gray blanket covered his lower body.

Martin was assigned to the White House that weekend, but with President Barack Obama still on vacation in Hawaii, she spent the day looking for shots that would illustrate the cold weather. That is how she found Nick Simmons, in an area where homeless people often gather when it is frigid outside. She found a cluster of men huddled around the grate, introduced herself and started taking pictures.

Then she noticed one person in particular, huddled under a blanket.

"It struck me how young he was," Martin said. "I again introduced myself and shook his hand. He said his name was Nick."

Martin finished shooting, sent the pictures to the wire and then called it a day. The next day, she received a message via Twitter from USA Today.

The newspaper had run the photo of Nick and was contacting Martin to tell her that Nick's family had recognized him and was trying to locate him. Michelle Simmons was certain that the young man in the photograph was her son, missing for four days.

Police picked Simmons up Sunday afternoon and took him to a hospital, said Capt. Patrick Phelan of the Greece, N.Y., police department. Simmons' father, Paul, and older brother Paul Jr. arrived in Washington Sunday night and were reunited with Simmons at the hospital, said longtime family friends Peter and Cindy Gugino of Fairfax Station, Va.

Martin, the AP photographer, said the episode serves as a reminder to journalists that every person they encounter has a story to tell.

"It's really gratifying to see that a photograph can make a tangible difference in someone's life. That's a really amazing thing to have happened," she said. "I'm happy and touched that the photograph could help reunite this family."

Police said authorities notified local media and tried to investigate the case, but there were no leads until the publication of the photo.

"It was pure dumb luck how all this happened," said Sgt. David Mancuso, the lead investigator. "It's truly a miracle."

What God Has Enabled This Ministry To Do

By Pamela Rae Schuffert presenting investigative journalism from a Biblical Christian perspective-

www.AmericanHolocaustComing.blogspot.com

I am sharing the following with my readers, because most of you have never met me before in person. You can only know me from what I post on this blog. You are not with me on a daily basis to see the kind of ministry and outreach I am continually involved in. 

Truthfully, journalism is but a small part of what God has called me to do to change our world for His glory, and to reach into broken lives who need love and assistance. I have been involved in many other forms of ministry throughout my  42 years as a born-again Christian.

I fully know the Bible verses about our giving to be performed in secret, so that God may reward us openly. But I also know the verse about letting our light, or good deeds, shine in public so that men may glorify God Who is in heaven. The only way you will know what kind of a person I am, is by my sharing true events from my life with my readers. And all glory goes to God Who made all this possible.

Just last week, I was enabled by your support to purchase badly needed winter clothing and boots for two small children, whose mother was forced to flee from a husband who became terribly abusive. She is struggling to survive as a single mother now, and only has a part-time job. In fact, I used to be her nanny when she was young, and I know her family well.

My heart was broken when I linked back up with her recently, and discovered her plight. And so I have been enabled by your support to give her and her children some essentials for the winter, and to help them in other ways as well. Thank you for your support! Her children are so appreciative.

I had the joy this Thanksgiving of being able to give away two turkeys to feed Christian families also having a difficult time making it financially.

I was also able to tithe financial support to the leader of Asheville's local Christian pro-life outreach, Mick Hunt, a wonderful brother in Christ who has worked hard to save the unborn in this region.

God brought two young homeless men into my life one morning recently while I was blogging at a local coffee shop. I bought breakfast for them and then shared the wonderful life that Jesus wanted to give to each one of them that very day. We then prayed together. It was beautiful to watch the Holy Spirit touch their hearts.

Recently, I wrote how my brother was so deeply depressed this Thanksgiving. It broke my heart. You see, John is a professional guitarist. And when he gave his life to Jesus, he purposed to play for His glory alone. But in a former nursing home, his electric guitar was stolen. His guitar picks and slides also were missing. He was crushed. He let me know that this was part of his sadness. He could not play Christian music the way he wanted to without the proper equipment.

And so, I went to a local guitar shop and looked for an electric guitar on sale. Finally, I found one marked very low, and purchased it for John, plus some slides and picks as well. When I returned to the nursing home and presented these to John, his joy and excitement was incredible. Gone was the heaviness and depression as he fingered his new guitar and picks and slides.

"Thank you Jesus," John exclaimed and he raised his hands into the air in praise to God Who had made this all possible. He then said, "C'mere, Sis...let me give you a big hug!" And he did. Through your support, John's depression has lifted,and he has now been equipped to have his own Christian music outreach in his new nursing home, and someday beyond to the world around him. I will be working with him now to help him sit up in bed and resume playing his guitar for the glory of God.

This is but a sampling of what happens continually throughout my life, as I pray daily for God to lead all the right people into my life to witness and minister His love to. As we all follow and seek to serve Jesus daily, amazing things can and will happen. It works.

 I enjoy loving people with His love! And I love to share Jesus and His glorious truth with others also. Serving Jesus and ministering to others should be our passion, and very reason for existence. We must always remember: we have been created for HIS pleasure and purposes above all.

"Thou art worthy, 

oh Lord, 

to receive glory and honor and power, 

for Thou hast created all things, 

and 

FOR THY PLEASURE 

they are and were created..." 

~Revelation 4:11~

We were created by God with divine PURPOSE. Jesus has redeemed us from sin for HIS purposes. God's will must be done in this world by His people. This alone is what can change our world. "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done, ON EARTH as it is in Heaven." For when His will is being done on earth, everything is then restored to His original purposes for Creation from the beginning.

It is critically important for us as Christians to seek the will of God daily for our lives. Therefore, every day I purpose to seek the WILL OF GOD. I pray for Him to show me what to do, to lead me to whom He wants me to meet and minister to. And it is amazing to see how His hands move in response to such prayer. It is exciting to see what God will do!

In closing, thank you all again for your kind support for this journalism and Christian outreach. It is not about me: it is all about GOD and His purposes through me, and through each and everyone of us in this world. It is all about reaching others for His glory. It is about edifying the Body of Christ at this challenging time in our present world.

May God bless and encourage you both now and always, through Jesus Christ His wonderful Son. And may He give YOU exciting and fulfilling works to do and prayers to pray, to touch the lives of others in a special way. 

Together, we CAN change the world around us, and help to bring eternal souls into His glorious kingdom...all for His glory alone. 

For...

"THOU ART WORTHY, OH LORD!"

God's Amazing Ways!

Ministry to the Youth on the Streets of America

No sooner did I write an article about ministering to the lost and the street kids in Asheville, NC, then God leads me to several HERE...who came from that very region!

***************************************

By Pamela Rae Schuffert presenting investigative journalism from a Biblical Christian perspective-

www.AmericanHolocaustComing.blogspot.com

Every day I begin with prayer and praise to God through Jesus Christ. I always add, "Heavenly Father, lead me to the people You want me to meet...." God is the Master of predestining His people and leading them to His purposes in our world today.

As I wrote in my previous article, I later went to various outdoor events to seek the people God wanted me to minister to. And, lo! I encountered a group of 4 people, young teens, dressed the typical Asheville/rainbow people style, with backpacks and dogs. 

They are found all across America

They were sitting on their backpacks on the sidewalk, enjoying the warm summer sun. One was fastidiously sewing up a rip in his overly worn backpack. 

I remember feeling pain inside as I realized how young and how vulnerable these young teens were. I parked my vehicle and went to talk with them. When I mentioned "Asheville," several mentioned they were from that area! I realized that here were some mother's children, now riding the rails or hitch-hiking across America. 

Hitchhiking down the highway to hell without Jesus

Their skin was dark from the inevitable dust and dirt the country roads disperse as they walk down them. Showers are not always available in their environment.

I gazed at their shoes. A motley assortment of boots, old and recent,  in various degrees of condition, came into view. Their clothes were reminiscent of the legendary gypsies romanticized in the  Old World. One even had a guitar.

Typical group of young homeless travelers

As I looked at them and realized how young they were, I began to wonder. How many of these had worried mothers back home, praying for their children and crying, wondering where they were now...or if they were even alive? There were two young men and two young women sitting there. Suddenly I knew that THEY were my project for today, and my answer to prayer.

I went over to one and asked, "Hey, gang! How are things going? How ya doing for food and other stuff?" Their eyes lighted up as they looked at one another. Here was someone not looking at them with disdain, but someone who cared. How could I not care?They were young enough to be my grandchildren...IF I had been married with children and grandchildren, that is. I have been a single woman for God and His purposes, for 42 years now.

How lonely life on the streets would be, without man's best friend!

One young man spoke up. "Well...we are all out of dog food for our dogs...." And another said, "We need SOCKS! Ours are all worn out." A young lady admitted they needed cans of food for their road trip and when riding the rails. Honestly, they all looked so frail and so pathetic, coated with dust and rag-tag clothes, their dirt-caked dogs happily wagging their tails as they looked at this stranger.

"Okay, guys. Let's go to the grocery store and get some things you need!" One young lady jumped at the offer and accompanied me as we walked across the street to the local market. Just a child, I thought sadly to myself. She took me down several aisles, carefully picking out canned foods for them, and finally a bag of dog food for the several dogs.

I insisted on going to the candy aisle, and told her to pick out whatever she and her friends would like.  She was so excited...just like a child. Break my heart. I purchased the items and we carried them back to her friends. They were so thankful for what God provided for them that day. 

I emphasized to them that they were not to thank ME. I am nothing. I told them to look up to heaven and instead thank GOD and Jesus Christ that HE cared enough to provide this desperately needed food for them. I may be able to provide a few bags of food, BUT HE is the only One who can save them! Therefore, their focus MUST be upon HIM.

Across the street from where they were sitting in Whitefish, Montana, there is a frozen yogurt shop owned by Christian friends of mine, Reed and Kelli. They are powerful Christian witnesses in Whitefish, and they use their shop for the toddler's ministry for their unique church there. Everyone loves them, and their tiny son Ezra is the delight of all the customers who come in. He is adorable!

Golly, I thought as I looked at these kids on that hot summer day. If I were their mom, I would sure love to treat them to some ice cream! 

And so I said, "Hey, c'mon! Let's go over to the ice cream shop and get something good for everyone!" They jumped up and followed me over to THE RED CABOOSE for a special summer treat. How excited they were as they grabbed self-serve bowls and helped themselves to frozen yogurt and delicious toppings.

Lots of yummy treats at the RED CABOOSE in Whitefish, Montana!

Again, watching their child-like excitement as they poured topping after topping onto their frozen treat, my heart broke inside for these young people. 

"Riding the rails"...dangerously

For in reality they WERE children, alone in this world, traveling in packs like dogs, fighting to survive on a daily basis, riding the rails or hitchhiking, eating cold food out of cans, and wearing old and patched up clothes. Many with no real mother or father, and no real home to go home to. I felt such love for them.

After I paid for their frozen yummies, they rushed across the street to show the others what they got to share with everyone. Finally they asked for one more thing. "All of our socks are worn out and have holes, and we really need more socks..." said one.

No problem! I drove down to the local Army surplus store, and got a value pack with six pairs, enough for all of them. Even with something as mundane as socks, these young people were excited and thankful to receive them. 

I drove by where they were sitting on the sidewalk, rolled down my window and waved the bag of socks. One young woman rushed over to grab them. Her eyes lit up as she looked at the nice new socks, and she ran over to show the others. I finally waved goodbye as I then drove off in the traffic that evening.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED. 

And yes, as I sat with them earlier, I had shared Jesus with them. And hopefully, I can locate them again today and share even MORE about Jesus and His wonderful love for each one of them.

How beautiful is the LOVE OF GOD! His love did not care how dirty their clothes were, or how poor they were. OF COURSE NOT! Jesus loved them right where they were at. "For the Son of Man is come to seek and to save that which is lost," Jesus declared. 

And since He must work through us in this world, we are prayerfully to see out those who are lost, and to minister His salvation to them as well.

And young homeless wanderers like this are ALL OVER AMERICA, and they all are in need of OUR love, compassion and prayers as well.

DHS/FEMA camps under martial law

Think about it: what will happen to these, the homeless of America under martial law?

I was informed by one ex-CIA source that the government had actually seized homeless in California and used them to "practice" in their termination camps, to make sure they "worked." And of course, the CIA would know. Because the CIA is in part a  product of Nazi fascist influence and Nazis coming into America through "OPERATION PAPERCLIP." The CIA is very much a part of the NWO agenda for America.

The homeless make the perfect candidates for this, because they have no home, most have no records or anything else that can be used to track down their disappearance.

They are considered "useless eaters" by the NWO. We can understand this from history and see what the Nazis previously did to nomadic travelers such as the Gypsies.

Nazi NWO Fascists hate the homeless.

They forget that Hitler as a youth 

was homeless,

living in homeless shelters

and eating at charity soup kitchens.

What did Hitler do to the traveling Gypsies, or Romani people??? These Gypsies were rounded up and sent to death camps, or forced into ghettos previously occupied by terminated Jews, and executed by SS Einsatzgruppen. They were rounded up and executed as just another group of "sub-humans" and useless eaters. This is all that they are in the minds of the heartless NWO.

But in the sight of Almighty God, these people are infinitely precious. 

Didn't God so love the world, that He sent Jesus? 
Didn't Jesus die for ALL to be saved???

I can never forget a poster that my friend Paul in Bozeman, Montana, had on his food van. Paul is a committed Believer in Jesus, who used his van to feed the homeless every day in Bozeman for many years, summer and winter.

His poster had a depiction of Jesus standing outside, knocking on someone's door.

The words read, "How can you worship a homeless man on Sunday, and ignore the homeless the rest of the week?" 

Very thought provoking.

These homeless street kids are the kinds of people that slip through the church system net in America. Most will never set foot in a church. But that is why we must go to THEM. This is WHY Jesus tells us to go into the highways and byways to seek the lost out. 

Christians, never forget: at one time we were all lost, and thankfully, Jesus sought US out! When we were about to perish, Jesus reached out to lift us from destruction, and to bring us to Himself.

And we as His disciples, need to manifest that same kind of mercy and compassion to the perishing all around us.

God bless you all, dear readers. While it is indeed important to prepare in practical ways for the storm coming to our nation, let us never forget the greater importance of doing the will of God daily, and reaching out to others for His eternal kingdom. 

The unsaved in our nation need our love, our prayers and our practical witness of Jesus in their lives. We are all Jesus has in this world to use to reach them.

And never forget: the MOST IMPORTANT THING you can do to ensure God's mercies and provision 
in the times to come, is to 
OBEY HIS WORD.

Read these eternal guidelines from the Word of God:

"Blessed are the merciful, for THEY SHALL OBTAIN MERCY."-Matthew 5:7

"Blessed is he that considers the poor, for the Lord shall deliver him in the day of adversity. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive. And he shall be blessed in the earth, and You will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The Lord will strengthen him on the bed of languishing, and You will make his bed in all his sickness." -Psalm 41:1

"He that giveth to the poor, lendeth to the Lord, and He shall repay." 
-Proverbs 19:17

"Give, and it shall be given unto you, pressed down, shaken together and running over shall men give unto your bosom. For the measure you give, is the measure you shall receive." -Luke 6:38

In James, we are exhorted to love NOT ONLY with our words, but also with our actions.

James 2:14 and other verses encourage us to DO the things that manifest His love to other people in practical ways.

It is for reasons such as this, that I am not afraid to REACH OUT and to share what little I have. It is far more important to obey God's Word, and to minister to others out of what we have, than to hoard it unto ourselves, thinking that by saving it we shall save ourselves.

Many people believe that by PREPPING in numerous ways, they can preserve their lives during MARTIAL LAW in the times to come. And yes, I have exhorted God's people to PREPARE FOR THE TIMES TO COME. "Faith without works is dead."

However, it will take more than the mere efforts of mortal men to bring us all through the perilous future we face. The NWO enemy is fierce, well-armed, brutal and ruthless, armed with 21st century advanced military technology...and driven by Lucifer himself.

ONLY the DIVINE miracle power of the Living God can truly preserve His saints through the times that we face as Christians in North America. 

And as we do the things that please Him and touch the lives of others for Jesus Christ, making His will our priority, His grace will surely be there to bring us through the fire!

"Father, Thy Word is Truth."

Your support for this outreach is so appreciated...

and needed!

Just this past weekend, I spent over $200.00 feeding, clothing and assisting the young homeless teens God clearly placed in my path following prayer. 

I am going to visit local thrift shops and locate inexpensive used backpacks, sleeping bags and other items these homeless youth always need, to give away as I minister Jesus' love to them through practical ways.

Also, they are always in need of non-perishable foods to pack and take with them.

Pocket New Testaments are also important in reaching out.

The money I spent ministering to these homeless youth was well spent! One young Christian man's life was so deeply touched, and he let me know it (Steve).

Another was the son of a pastor of a church in Ohio (Shay).

I bought him food, provided transportation to where he needed to go, and shared

more about Jesus and His purposes in our lives as I drove.

After dropping him off, I promptly located and called his parents (Calvary Baptist Church in Ohio). They were so thankful that I had ministered to their son! And happy to know that he was safe.

I plan to order pocket New Testaments for their backpacks, to give away as I travel and minister. Please PRAY that the funds will come in for a small personal cargo trailer, so I can transport these Bibles, backpacks, sleeping bags and Christian literature as I travel to minister and perform my journalism.

Where will the homeless youth of America spend ETERNITY?

America's time of freedom to preach the Gospel is very short. The only thing that ever matters in the end, is the salvation of ONE MORE SOUL for Jesus Christ. Everything else in this world shall someday pass away, as the Bible explains to us.

Thank you for helping me to reach 

ONE MORE SOUL FOR JESUS

 while the opportunity to do so in freedom 

remains in America.

Ministering to the Homeless Across America

By Pamela Rae Schuffert presenting investigative journalism from a Biblical Christian perspective-

Living on the road for my ministry and journalism enables me to reach many people in need all across America. The following is an excerpt from an email I recently sent a reader:

****************************************

....Did alot of ministry to homeless on the street yesterday...as I always do when I am traveling.  One woman's situation was pathetic. Brilliant woman, formerly married to military intelligence. She has even been in deep underground bases/cities. She is a very real born again Christian, a beautiful woman. 

The military is now tormenting and stalking her because of the corruption she discovered through her husband in the military and intelligence, and they feel she is a threat because of what she knows. She has to remain mobile now, has had attempts on her life, they even send their men to tail her and taunt her right to her face to keep her unnerved and worn out.

I had prayed yesterday for God to lead me to the people He wanted me to minister to while here filming. And He did. She was so frail, so tired...my heart bled for her. We prayed together and I then Asked God how I could help her. In her situation, she obviously needed money for gas.  I could relate perfectly. And so blessed her with $50 for gas.

THIS is what true Christianity is all about. It is about love. It is about caring and giving. It is about encouraging. And I love it. Pray for her. God knows her name.

The four homeless people I ministered to were there on a street corner...an old couple and a younger couple as well. The old man was sitting on an upturned bucket, trying to get an ancient camp stove to somehow light (it looked like something from an antique store and I doubted if he could ever get it to light!) 

He couldn't light it and gave up. As the sun was going down it got cold. I looked at them and prayed about what to do to bless them in Jesus' name.

I then went to my vehicle and got my Coleman's camp stove, only about a month old. I gave it to the surprised older couple, and a few canisters of propane for it. He looked so cold, and so I gave him a new sweatshirt and woolen gloves for his hands. My folding camp chair was perfect for him as well, instead of that hard uncomfortable bucket. I distributed food and other things as they shared what they needed.

Homeless in America

Then the older man spoke up. I had not even mentioned Jesus yet to them.

"SO how long have you been a REAL CHRISTIAN???" 

This was a shocker. I had not even told them yet that I was a Christian...but was going to and going to minister to them.

I thought about this question, and realized something.

Sometimes our actions speak much louder to the world around us, than even our words of "I AM A CHRISTIAN." 

Without my saying anything, he knew I was A REAL CHRISTIAN. Jesus said that the world would know we are His disciples BY OUR LOVE. Words without appropriately corresponding actions are worthless and empty. Jesus not only SPOKE the Word: HE LIVED THAT WORD!

Walking in His love has the power to change lives around us! 

Love is so beautiful! Loves touches hearts where words alone cannot. Jesus not only SPOKE love, He LIVED love daily. And we are also called to walk and live in His love.

It is so wonderful when we follow Jesus and walk and live in LOVE. This is my life, and what I love to do more than anything else. I have found that no matter how poor I may be by the world's standards, I always somehow have enough to give to those suffering around me. 

An extra shirt or pair of socks. A can or two of food. A Christian Bible. Some extra change. And PRAYER and LOVE and COMPASSION are all free!

I love living on the road for this reason, because then I can minister to THE WHOLE WORLD AROUND ME...and my car becomes my pulpit. The world around me is my "church" and I become "the minister." Love it.

The people I encounter are those who often slip through the cracks of the modern church world. I am conscious of the fact that many of the people I encounter and minister to while traveling on the road, would normally never set foot in a church today. 

Many of them have never even listened to televangelist greats. But they HAVE heard the Gospel through ME!

And so I continue to minister to many of those who fall through the cracks of America's church apparatus.

Thank you for truly helping to make this vitally needed ministry possible. This is the Body of Christ in ACTION. 

We MUST work together as His Body, 

to bring His will to come to pass in America.

If BAD people are destroying this nation, then GOOD people walking with Jesus can RESTORE and help SAVE this nation. It's as simple as that. With God, all things are possible. And every day there is a new generation springing up, who can be reached for Jesus and then help to change the world by His power. 

Because of Jesus, 
there is always hope 

for the world... 

and for America.

God's love manifested through us

can change the world!

Why don't YOU go out today and

help change your world around you also?
