Washington Gardens Outreach Update

We praise God for another awesome outreach!

Several Churches and ministries were represented as we all teamed up in the common goal of loving on people in Jesus name and sharing the life changing Gospel. His presence and his guidance is what a lost and dying world need and we had a great time-it was an all out Jesus time!.. Amen!

We severed, all for free, hotdogs, grilled cheeses, chips, cookies, punch to everyone who came. We also had tables and tables of free clothing and a whole table of Bibles. All this was free to people to bless them and draw them in so we could minister to them and pray with them, and communicate with them that God cares for them and loves them. It was a great time!

I had several incredible conversations with many people, one that was an absolute highlight was a conversation I had with a young man who was raised Christian and even been baptized years ago, but the sin-pleasures of this life (drinking, clubbing) had taken him off the righteous path. He recently has become a new father and since the time of his child’s birth he has been thinking of the path he has been living, God was working on this young man for awhile, he knew he was living wrong. So I ministered to him and led him in a prayer of forgiveness and repentance. It was awesome! The team of us ministered to him for a while. He plans on going back to his Church and reconnect with his Pastor. Glory to God for these divine appointments!

Another quick testimony, I was able to talk to a guy who has been unemployed for awhile, he is an ex military man. He talked about his need for work and how thankful he was for the free food and clothing. He spoke how he studied all the different religions. When I asked him what he believed he said he wasn’t sure-he said, how he was still searching. This gave me the opportunity to share my testimony and share why Jesus came and how He is different than other religions. He took it all in. He wasn’t ready to receive Christ, but I know some awesome Gospel seed was sown. He did allow me to pray for him and I know God was working on him.

Lance and Jeff had an incredible encounter with a couple who they had previously met a few years ago in front of a local tavern as they were witnessing. At that time this couple , didn’t know the Lord at that time and were bothered by these guys witnessing to the m before they went into the bar to get drunk. Well, that was then and today they are serving the Lord and they testified how those words about Jesus stuck with them while they were in the bars until the day they surrendered their lives to Jesus!!.. Praise God!... The Word does not return void.

There are many more testimonies to share but time limits me. Please check out the pic’s below, you can get a feel for the day. A big shout of Thanks to those who prayed for and helped support these outreaches. God bless you!

Hey also, A great big “Praise God!” Seven individuals got water baptized yesterday from the Village Green Ministry and also, from Village Green, over forty individuals are now attending regularly and being discipled at our local church. Amen…Some good Visible Fruit…Praise God!...To God be the glory!
