![]() Hello!👋🏼 I am Luna and I belong to the Lopez Family. I asked my grandma Maribel if I could be The Phileo House mascot and, guess what? She said yes!! I am only 4 1/2 years old, but don't underestimate me, my age does not reflect my love-giving, barking-protective nature and M.O. Yep, I feel like a huge Great Dane guardian dog, ready to protect the world. And, you know what else? I've been thinking about how my 14-lbs black, brown, white and gray regal body is so pampered and well cared by my family and every person who enters our home, no questions asked. Between my grooming sessions, splendid splashy baths with organic soap, super healthy food and filtered water, walks and exercise with my doggy friends, massages, licking experiences, physical exams, etc. I've become a little princess in our house! You get the point. ![]() But, realistically and sadly speaking, I think I may be doing much better than many humans out there living in their cars, abandoned buildings, without a belly-rub, love, a home and protection from the elements. I constantly hear from my family that people have a big heart, full with the love of God, and I don't have a hair of a doubt about it at all. So, as I become The Phileo House pet, I ask you to join me in wagging your tail , love, care and protect them through our future Phileo House. Would you? It will be so much fun! Thanks, my human friends! ❤ Woof, woof... Luna. Let's welcome Luna as our loving mascot and join her and all of us here in extending Christ love to the unsheltered. We can do this together! What do you think? 💟 Leave us your comments below, your words of love and even ideas. We are grateful for you! Acts 20:35 Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive'.

![]() Many people have asked me why get involved in the 'slow cooking mess' of building a home for the unsheltered. And others, including people in ministry positions, have resoundingly discouraged me. I get their point and concerns. I do. I had and still have some, too. This maze-like work will require a strong spine, trust, and faith, both in God and in the human heart, along with lots of forbearance and teamwork. I will also have to face my own demons. Right now, it truly feels like I am already losing the fierce battle against this 6-9 foot giant of Goliath. BUT GOD... ...reminds me that David, the 'little' guy with the 'least chance', but with a solid understanding of and intimacy with God, won. He sang victory! ... gracefully brings to mind that He has placed the same burden in other people's hearts so we can collaborate as a powerful community and Kingdom agents against hopelessness, depression, suicide, and other dark snares. And here you are. ...keeps highlighting the mighty power of the righteous prayer (what a supernatural bomb) to my spirit; and the unlimited power of He who lives in me... in you... in all of us. ... simply asked , I said yes. (you can read the story here) ![]() Therefore, my response to the intial question, the doubting voices, and concerns is a trusting "BUT GOD". Am I fearful and insecure in my humanity? Yes! But God has given me/us, not a stone to throw at the uncircumcised terror-provoking giant, but a "Rock", JesusChrist, The Rock! He will make a way and do what He has promised. I've seen how, when He shows up, nothing can stand His power nor His indomitable love for the brokenhearted, the sick, the imprisoned, and poor. I saw healing and saving miracles during my practice of Medicine, and, expectantly, I will continue witnessing them. Miracles are Jesus' specialty. You are a David, beloved. We are. And we can defeat such giants when we trust the power of 'The Rock' who lives inside us. As we continue to design, strategize and walk united, would you help us throw that ROCK right into Goliath's head to witness his giantness fall face downward before us? Goliath will fall, (the Son of) David will always shine. He has already! As Jesus calls us friends, so do we call you the same. Our militia in the Kingdom has the advantage already. So, Thank you, thank you, thank you for marching with us at the Phileo House! We soon hope to see the grin of hope on many faces whose burden was too much to carry alone and before long "have an ornament of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, the garment of praise instead of a heavy, burdened, and failing spirit—that they may be called oaks of righteousness , the planting of the Lord, that He may be glorified." (Isaiah 61:3). We can't wait to open our Phileo doors. 1 Samuel 17:49-51 He reached into his bag and took out a stone, which he slung at Goliath. It hit him on the forehead and broke his skull, and Goliath fell face downward on the ground. And so, without a sword, David defeated and killed Goliath with a sling and a stone! He ran to him, stood over him, took Goliath's sword out of its sheath, and cut off his head and killed him. |
