We almost lost another brother this week after he tried a very small piece off a pill, which he thought could be ecstasy. This shaving from a large white pill immediately made him feel like he couldn't breathe, and took his pulse down to 100 over 30 the paramedic stated. The full dose would have killed 4 people. Turned out to be heroin mixed with fentanyl. He survived it, is back at home today. We appreciate your prayers here in Toledo. I pray God's grace, wisdom and understanding for the readers about this issue. This stuff is a powerful killer, should not be available out here!!

Last week I Witnessed my first tragedy from this epidemic on the Streets of America. He was in our dorm at the homeless mission. Had been discussing something heated with a mate on the phone. A couple of us were being promoted by the holy spirit to talk with him more. His things laid neatly organized on his bed as he walked into the bathroom stall a few feet from our dorm. A few minutes later he laid blue as a ghost dead in our midst.... A couple of days passed and we didn't hear much, just that he was revived and had a faint heartbeat. I asked to gather up his things which were still on his bed for his family. So I threw out the coffee creamer and other perishables. By the look of his stuff, he was a seasoned veteran homeless person. Put it in a bag and date it, throw it in the basement for 30 days, or until the family claims it. Such a tragedy, again.
