Street Stories - A Ringside Seat To Over 4 Decades Of Taking Jesus To The Streets Of The World

to him again, and he turned to see Goldilocks waving frantically and shouting at him.

Suddenly Goldilocks shouted to Bob, “I don’t know what is wrong, but whatever it is, Jesus can help you.” Bob felt he had heard a message from Heaven. He turned away from the traffic he had planned to jump into and focused in on Goldilocks. He said again to Bob, “Jesus can help you.” He then took Bob’s arm and brought him inside for us to talk to. Sarge and I ministered to Bob. We prayed with him and watched as Jesus broke through his sadness and depression. It was like a new Light had come on in Bob’s eyes. We got Bob some food and prayed with him some more.

Then we got Bob in the truck and took him to a

local motel for a few nights of rest and refreshing.

As we walked Bob into his hotel room, still dressed in all white, I will never forget what Bob said to us. With every ounce of conviction in his soul, Bob looked at Sarge and me and said in a tone of relief, “If not for Goldilocks, I would be dead tonight.”

We assured him that Jesus came that he could

have life… abundant life and eternal life.

I never saw Goldilocks again. But we found out a couple of very interesting things about him. Even though Goldilocks looked about 17, he was only 14. Although everyone referred to him as Goldilocks because of his long curly blonde hair, his actual name was Joshua. That’s right, Joshua.
