HiI want to reach out and thank all the street pastors out there looking after vulnerable people and keeping them safe.
Early this morning I got a call from a street pastor in Kirkcaldy, advising me they were looking after my daughter and asking if I could come and collect her. I originally thought it was one of her friends "having a laugh", but once assured by the chap on the phone that he really was looking after my daughter (worse the wear for alcohol), I hastily went to collect her. As we were driving up to the area the street pastor had directed us to, I was totally gob-smacked (can't think of any other words that would suffice), at the amount of young people staggering about, being sick and clearly unable to look after themselves.
I even sent out a silent prayer for the poor soul wrapped in an insulating blanket, huddled in a corner - it was obviously a homeless person.
In fact, it wasn't a homeless person, it was my daughter, thankfully, surrounded by street pastors who had looked after her, kept her safe and phoned me to let me know she needed help.
On behalf of my daughter, myself, and her sister, I thank you, and I pray to God to continue to walk along side of you and help you in your work.
Thank you and kindest regards
