WHOSOEVER

When weather conditions are particularly brutal, Wayside Christian Mission’s Samaritan Patrol combs the streets looking for homeless men and women. One of our patrol volunteers sent this report: “Last night, I did my three hour ‘white flag’ run with Wayside. Looking for new homeless, I stopped the van in Southern Indiana and hollered up into the top of an overpass and after a thirty second delay, a man spoke. After I told him who we represented, he came down to ground level. He has been in and out of prison after committing various assaults and told other wild tales. He knew and could speak of the Bible very eloquently. He quoted Job and John…when I asked him his name to pray for him, he said ‘Whosoever.’ A real character!”
