Brother's House

Years ago a bunch of surf bums gave there lives to Jesus Christ and decided to live together committed to God, prayer and service to His Church. That was 25 0r 30 years ago and it was the beginning of what is now called the Brother's House. Now there are 12 young men from 18 to 30 who live together in one house (a large house). These guys are sold out for Jesus 100% and provide precious service to the Cathedral Church in San Clemente. I have prayed that God would raise up a Brother's House in our church . I grew up in a church that had 3 communities of nuns that served the church. I miss a church that had people living in community as they did in the beginning of the church. And the community that it brought to the church. The nuns helped the church immeasurably. And the members of the church, knowing that the nuns lived modestly would help them with donations of food and the occasional timely cash or check. There were a couple of men in the church who would visit the nun's house to see what was in disrepair and fix stuff. It made for a nice community. These communities were also little houses of prayer that lifted up the church and individuals up in prayer daily.
Lord may be bringing the Brother's House to All Saints. I would ask that all who read this to pray for this. Pray that if this is truly Gods will he will raise it up and bless it.
Go Big
