Come on God, Come ON!
We have seen several deaths from overdoses within feet of our front door, and nothing prepares you for seeing a lifeless body put into a body bag and carried away.
David, our Outreach Pastor, and one of our interns were recently handing out food to the homeless when a commotion erupted across the street. Immediately, they ran toward the commotion and saw some homeless rifling through bags and clothing.
A man was lying motionless on the ground. It was Miguel. He was a regular at the Mission but lay unconscious, foaming at the mouth with a needle still lodged in his arm.
Our team is on HIGH ALERT; fentanyl and other fatal drugs are available on every corner.
David quickly checked his vitals. His heartbeat was fading, so he promptly administered Narcan and began chest compressions.
“Come on, God! Come on,” he cried out!
Paramedics arrived, and they worked steadily until Miguel finally drew a breath.
A few days later, Miguel came to the Mission and spoke with David. He shared how he felt alone in the world and how he would have been okay to die. His eyes quickly filled with tears, and a spark of hope ignited within him as he heard this message of hope. He prayed with David and the team and accepted Jesus into his heart as Lord and Savior.

Miguel is one of the hundreds Fred Jordan Missions serves and helps regularly. Each one's story might not be as dramatic as Miguel’s, but the acts of love, compassion, kindness, smiles, and hugs they receive at the Mission make a tremendous difference and lead many to place their faith in the Savior, Jesus.
“Wherever there is someone in need, a small act of kindness can change their world.”
