"My name is Nicholas, after Nicholas of Antioch who was one of the seven deacons in Acts."
We ran into Nicholas while he was getting a bottle of juice at a RV for the community meal at his church. He figured that we weren't from Slab City so he got off of his bike and became our tour guide. He kindly showed us his garden where he grows vegetables inside the large cracks from one of the slabs. He wants to use the garden to feed the community. He then he took us to his church where he offered us some of his juice, introduced us to Pastor Dave, and asked him to pray for us before we travelled back home.
"Before you guys go, can I ask you if you believe in Jesus?"
"Yes, I do."
"Amen"
