Before
we left Los Angeles, we stopped to visit with Wiley Drake
at his Church / Homeless Shelter. |
|

The
Wiley Drake Show
broadcast live Monday through Thursday, from 9 am to 10 am
from the church. |

Today,
Wiley hosted the entire New Freedom Bus Tour on his radio
show. Pictured here is Reo English (right) and Margaret
and her daughter Miriam- all KWRU members.

The
shelter let the The New Freedom Bus riders go first in line
for lunch so that we were able to get on the road in time
for the long drive ahead. |

Antonio,
son of KWRU member Maria Del Moral takes a break from his
homework to pose for a picture.

Donelle Boyd
& Domonte Dark, a sister and brother riding the Freedom

The bus leaves
California for El Paso, Texas- only a 20 hour journey!

Prayer for the New Freedom Bus Tour
The Rev.
Noelle Damico, Catalyst, School of Theology, University
of the Poor
Wednesday, November 20
God we thank you
for another day today. Another day to hope, to love, to remember,
to dare. We thank you for the children who are growing in
our midst and for the elders whose wisdom seasons our understanding.
We thank you that though the road has been difficult and the
pain has been great, that you dear God, have never abandoned
us. You have led us this far and we trust you to lead us onward.
Faithful One, we offer this day in all its fullness to you
and to the world you have created. Amen.
