Village Green is a low income mobile home park with near 500 trailers. Many of the residents are struggling and without much hope, many of the people are on fixed incomes and are barely getting by. This outreach is a tool to point people to Jesus-who is their only true hope.
We have the opportunity as the Church, the body of Christ, to come in and bless the people at Village Green, to love on people who have not experienced much love. Many of the folk we meet at our outreaches have no desire to darken a Church door, at least right now. Many have been hurt or disappointed in the church.– This is why we go to them- to reach them. These outreaches are avenues to mend and heal past hurts. These outreaches are opportunities for people to be set free and delivered from the devil. The Word of God says that “love never fails”. ( 1 cor 13:8 ) This is our goal to love people in the natural and minister the only spiritual hope that there is- JESUS!
Everything at these outreach are free!-from the food to the clothing to the Bibles we give out -never would we charge people. Freely we received, freely we give. Many of us have heard the saying “we are blessed to be a blessing”- well, this is just that-We are blessing the folks at Village Green. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care. This is a great way to show people we care.
Several of us have already been ministering to the Village Green people, with a twice a month Bible Study in the club house (every other Tuesday), plus giving out food boxes to the needy. Much ground work has been and is being laid. So we anticipate this outreach to be huge! We are planning on serving up to four/five hundred people.

There are many ministry opportunities for everyone, no matter what comfort level. From setup, clean up, to ministering to the neighborhood kids with games and face painting, to helping with grilling the food and serving the food.
For those who want to publicly share their testimony, between sets of songs from the Band, we share testimonies, we will minister a word. We also have had youth groups who have done some powerful dramas/skits at the outreaches and they have been a very effective way to minister to people.
Please pray about coming out to help minister. Those who cannot make it out –would you please pray for the outreach. Please pray for God to touch lives and save souls.
Those who would like to sow an offering toward this can do this on line, at the very bottom of the webpage is a donate button. The cost of an outreach like this is around $300.00 - $400.00 - All monies received will go toward outreach expenses.
**Also- We will be passing out invite flyers inside the park the next two Friday evenings (May 13 & 20th)- from 6:00pm till 8:30pm. We will go trailer to trailer and hand people a flyer and invite them to the outreach. This is also a great time to meet people and offer prayer and witness to those we meet. Please pray about being part of this as well. We will meet at the club house at 5:45pm inside the Village green Park.
Thanks Saints for your prayers. If anyone has any questions please call me.
God bless!
