MIAMI HILLS OUTREACH RECAP

The Miami Hills Outreach was incredible!! Somewhere around three hundred people from Miami Hills attended the event. It was really a steady flow of children, youth and adults from the moment we started to when we finished.

The raffle give away of the 20 restaurant gift cards was a great success! Of course, it was a blessing to those who won, but it also kept the people staying in the ministry area as they had to be present to win a prize. We gave away five gift cards every half hour. So people stayed much of the whole time. Also, to get a ticket, the people had to fill out a gospel survey sheet, which gets their contact information but best of all, it asks some pointed questions in regards to salvation so we can gauge the persons spiritual walk. It also allows us to share more effectively the Gospel with everyone. So it worked out great and we had some incredible ministry witnessing and sharing the gospel to all who came.

We were able to bless (for free) everyone who came with hotdogs and grilled cheese sandwiches. A total of one hundred and fifty grilled cheese sandwiches were served along with three hundred hotdogs along with chips plus New China restaurant donated 3big tubs of egg-rolls and rice (what a blessing.)

The new PA system was up and going and it did an excellent job! Brother Jeff Cooper one of the Pastor’s of Christian Center Church delivered an awesome evangelistic message exhorting the people to get serious about their walk with Jesus and to make Him Lord of their lives. The public call to come forward and repent was powerful as ten folk came forward to get right with God. It was an awesome thing to witness and be part of.

The area kids who came to the event were ministered to by face painting and games. Those who helped with that did an outstanding job. The clothing give away was a total blessing along with the free Bibles that were made available. Two skids of food boxes were brought and handed out. The people were much appreciative to all that was made available to them.

To cap off the day, Sean and Leigh lead us all in closing hour of praise and worship. It was awesome outreach. A big shout of thanks and Praise to the Lord for His direction and for all of His kids who helped serve, pray and give-To God be the glory!


I had an opportunity to meet and talk with Joel Adams, who is the leader of the Miami Hills Tenant Association. He was utterly thrilled with the turn out. He was so appreciative for all the love he seen to the Miami Hills community. He was so impressed with the unity the team showed. He made comment to me about how vital it was that we came into Miami Hills the past two weeks on Friday night to meet the people and invite them face to face to the outreach. I totally agree with him and really that it why we do it.


Again, A big shout to all who served and gave of their time, I assure you it was worth it seeing souls come to Jesus! By the way, eleven folk from Miami Hills were picked up and brought to Church through the bus ministry yesterday (Sunday). Glory to God!!.

Next Outreach: Village Green Mobile Home Park (September 17th)

Many blessings!

Village Green Bible Study Update

Village Green Bible Study is going great.

We had another awesome meeting last night. There are still new people showing up. Last night Al and Jen Sabin gave an awesome word.

Two of the new people that showed up called out to God for forgiveness. Jodi and I had a great dialog and prayer with a lady who was with a very abusive controlling husband. She is now separated from him but dealing with much mental anguish. We prayed and loved on her. She was touched by God. Praise God!

Please pray for these coming up events. Thanks everyone..God bless you.

**Coming up:
Friday night (8/26) at 6pm - we will back at Miami Hills Apartment Complex going door to door ministering and evangelizing, also inviting the people for this Saturday's outreach (8/27) which starts at 11am.

We are believing God to touch and save souls.

MIAMI HILLS OUTREACH COMING UP!

This August 27^th is scheduled an outreach at Miami Hills Apartment Complex from 11am – 3 pm. We are truly excited about this opportunity.

The management of the complex was thrilled to have us all come in to minister Jesus. In fact, one of the maintenance men who works at the complex said “I’ve been praying for the Lord to kick the devil out of this place- you all are an answer to prayer.” It is so cool to get a welcome like this, and yes! We say "do it Lord!"..Amen! Show your glory and saving power to the people of Miami Hills!

A couple of weeks ago we were at Miami Hills doing some street ministry, this is when we knew that we needed to inquire of the Lord to set up an outreach right here on the complex.- And yes here we come!

Miami Hills is a government assisted apartment complex (over 600 apartments) with a very urban inner city feel to it. While we were there talking and ministering to people there were many people just hanging around outside sitting on their steps, or hanging out around the parking lot. Many of them were drinking or had been drinking. But As we would engage in conversations with these folk and as rough as the outer shells seem to be, so many of them were open to listen and talk about the Lord and the things of God. Many of these folk are at rock bottom and the buzz they get from the booze doesn’t satisfy any more, they know that there is a better way. And that better way is the only way and that is Jesus!

SATURDAY: AUGUST 27TH
TIME: 11AM - 3PM
WHERE: MIAMI HILLS APARTMENT'S (3534 High St, South Bend, IN)

We know it’s going to be an incredible outreach. Those of you reading this, please feel invited to come out and help reach out to this community. It takes the whole body of Christ to minister effectively. These folk need Jesus and we can offer that. Amen.

There are many areas to help from setup-clean up, manning a book table, helping with the clothing table, face painters, keeping food tables clean, etc. And most of all there are always witnessing opportunities at outreaches as the environment that is created is prime condition to talk to anyone about Jesus.

Those who cannot come to this outreach, please pray for the Holy Spirit to draw and convict. Pray that the folk at Miami Hills wont be able to resist the moving of the Spirit.

Pray for souls to repent and surrender to the Lordship of Jesus.

To those of you who would be coming to the event please contact me so we can plan accordingly. Also, If anyone would like to give toward this outreach please contact me.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for your prayers. God bless!
