Lori and Allen have been coming to Cross & Crown from the beginning. They might go away for a while, but they come back. Allen says they come back for prayer.

"When you come here, you are among people who feel what they pray," Allen said.

"This place helps you get closer to the Lord," said Lori who also volunteers at the mission.

Allen says that in addition to getting prayer for things - such as jobs, health, help - you get prayer for your spirit to grow.

"You get a hand up here, not a hand out," he said.

From Ephesians 1
15 This is why, since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 I never stop giving thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. 17 I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, would give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened so you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the glorious riches of His inheritance among the saints, 19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of His power to us who believe, according to the working of His vast strength.
