Meet Denny

We travelled to Eastern Washington to a City called Wenatchee. It was a really amazing driving, and we were going to work at a program for 50 - 100 homeless men called the Hospitality House. I met an incredible man named Denny, he was the garden manager, and has been living at the house for about 2 1/2 years. He is 62 years old has two children, and 3 step grand children. He served in our armed forces in Vietnam and worked several different jobs over his life time. He went on to tell me how his wife left him for another man, and when he came home from a week long bender his soon to be x-wife had taken everything including cleaning out their bank account. Within the next 6 months he found out that she had a brain tumor and had passed away. He was devistated, and he talked about it took many years for him to learn how to forgive. When I asked him to speak to our students he didn't talk much, but said "Don't let it take 62 years before you get serious about your faith." I thought it was incredible about how much passion he had for the homeless shelter turned into his home, and how much he loved it there. We had an opportunity to pray for him before we left, and it was a pleasure to have spent the day with him!
