“Homeless But Not Hopeless”
For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I am one of three men in Raleigh, NC, who are true life miracles of God’s undying love for us all.
In March of last year, we three were singing on the streets of downtown Raleigh when approached by a cameraman from WTVD 11 ABC, who asked if he could film us singing, and we said sure.
From there it led to two big stories, aired by the news station’s anchor Barbara Gibbs.
Here’s a brief update about us from the local ABC news website: “Homeless Singers On the Road to Success.”
Since that time, we have appeared on numerous programs and in churches. At one point, I was contacted by the producers of The Ellen Degeneres Show. They had received an email I sent them about us, and they may be flying us to Hollywood to have us sing on their show … we’re just waiting on one more phone call.
This is all so unbelieveable!
I mean it taught us all that God will use whom he will to do his will.
One thing that blesses us the most is the magnitude with which we are blessed when we bless others with our voices.
It is so beautiful, and it reassures us that absolutely nothing will ever seperate us from the love of God, which is in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Dear Michael W.:
Your very powerful and musical testimony of “the magnitude with which we are blessed when we bless others with our voices” invokes in me singing the Hymn of “O love, how deep, how broad, how high…For us He sent His Spirit here, to Guide, to strengthen and to cheer.”
I copy you from my own humble life experiences that “the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord,” “is so beautiful, and it reassures us that absolutely nothing will ever separate us from the love of God, which is in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
Thank you.
May your anticipating phone call from the producers of The Ellen Degeneres Show come soon, and
May GOD ALL MIGHTY continue to Bless you and your two friends in Raleigh, NC, abundantly;
GODSPEED, always and forevermore!
Mary Sun.
