Two people Doing Well?

Yes, Paul Caught Up With Them…

Sometimes people that Paul is in touch with disappear from the streets and it is not always possible to know what has happened to them. A few years ago J appeared regularly on the streets of Manchester in a poor state with drinking. About a year ago J was spotted walking with a girlfriend not far from where he lives. More recently they have been pushing their baby in a pram, on one occasion turning up at the local supermarket.

Another example is T who was drinking heavily besides one of the main roads in Bolton. To Paul's surprise one day a driver of a car blew her horn and waved at Paul; it was T. A few days later T turned up at a cash machine as Paul walked past; it was evident that she was doing very well.

In both cases it is now much easier to have a conversation that can lead to gospel opportunities.
