The first block party outreach of the year was awesome! We
had a great turn out. (See Pictures below) What a blessing it is to minister
and share the love of Jesus.
Thanks to all who Served, Prayed and Gave
A big shout out of thanks to all who prayed, gave and
sacrificed their time at the outreach event. Thank you! It takes a team and we
all worked together marvelously. Great job!
A Big shout out to our friend and comrade Frankie Phillips
and his family as this outreach was in his neighborhood, in fact, it was on his
daughters front lawn as we reach out to the surrounding families and neighbors
in his area. Thanks everyone.
Also, a shout out to Ted Wright as he and his family
provided, for free, 120 pounds of grilled chicken to be served at the event.
What a blessing that was! Thank you Ted and family! Also a big thank you to
Penny Goosens and her team from Westside
Worship Center.
Penny directs a clothing ministry at her Church and she graciously brought a
few tables of clothing to the event to make available for the people. Awesome
job-Thank you all!
We conservatively estimated that around 200 or more people
came to the event. Many kids were loving the bounce house/face painting and the
puppets. Speaking of puppets, thanks to the Teen Challenge brothers who did a
great job ministering the love of Jesus to the children with the puppets...
Awesome job guys!.. and several of the brothers ministered through music as the
Teen Challenge Praise Band was playing and they were anointed! Thanks guys!
Some Highlights from the event
It's always a blessing and an honor to talk to people about
Jesus and that is what these block party outreaches do-they give opportunity to
share and speak about the Lord Jesus Christ. One of the first folks I talked to
on Saturday was a lady and her son-she grabbed my arm as I walking by and she
asked me, "How do I get right with the Lord?" Wow, those type of
opportunities don't come around to often, where people literally grab you and
ask you how to do I get saved. I was
able to sit with them and share the Gospel with them and I had the opportunity
to pray with her. Praise God!
Another awesome highlight was the fact that three guys, that
I know of, who came to the block party that I recently had ministered to while
they were incarcerated. These three brothers have been out a while and are
serving Jesus, working jobs and doing well. Praise God! It was a blessing to
connect with them and encourage them in their walk.
One more highlight- by us having our sound system at the
event, besides the live music, we are able to gather everyone's attention (as best as we can) and share the simple
Gospel message to all those who are attending. What an awesome thing this is-
to share that God made a way to save us from our sins, to restore us and
deliver us. Jesus paid the sin penalty if call out to Him in surrender and make
Him Lord and Savior. A few people came forward to confess sin and ask for
forgiveness. All glory to the Lord as He gets the increase. Amen.
Thanks again to everyone who prayed, supported and served.
