180 Outreach Ministries: La Casa Outreach Update!... Great Outreach

Hi friends,

“What’s this chill I’m feeling?”….

This is what Kenny was asking me as I was talking to him soon after he and his wife walked forward to get right with God as the altar call was given at the La Casa Est. Apartment block-party outreach this last Saturday. Well, certainly it wasn’t the 90 degree weather that we were experiencing outside. Ha!... Kenny and his wife Riana, had just surrendered their lives to the Lord during the altar call, after a powerful message preached by my Pastor Jeff Cooper of Christ’s Kingdom Fellowship.

It was a great turn out!

This block-party outreach was an incredible event! La Casa Apartments is located right by the railroad tracks in down town Elkhart. It is very urban, a very needy area and it was a blessing to minister here. The very neat thing about a location like this, is that many people just wandered in to check things out, and we know the Lord was drawing many of them to this location-amen. It was also great to see many familiar faces, as the last three weeks many of us on the ministry team have been walking the neighborhoods passing out flyers, evangelizing, meeting the neighborhood people inviting them to the outreach and it was awesome seeing many of the people come out.

As always, everything at our outreaches are free to the people, as we bless them in Jesus name.- “ freely we have received, freely we give!” (Mathew 10:8)...Amen!

Bounce House is always a big hit with the kids!

We had a bounce house, face painting, Bible story reading for the children. We had live music- exalting Christ, free food and clothing, plus, some powerful testimonies. We always give out free Bibles and Christian books . For sure, we had some incredible one to one ministry with the people, as we talked and ministered to them. The highlight of the day was a powerful word preached by Pastor Jeff Cooper, with several people coming forward to get right with the Lord during the altar call!...amen. It was amazing! seeing the people come forward as the Lord was drawing them.

So many people received from the Lord this day, and we sure appreciate your prayers- as efforts are in place to start a Bible Study right in this area to continue build on what the Lord is doing.

Some of you may or may not know that Jodi and I are part of a new Church plant in Elkhart Co. with Christ’s Kingdom Fellowship, pastored by Jeff Cooper, a graduate of World Harvest Bible Institute (Columbus, OH), and we are currently seeking a building. This church is going to be a outreach multi-racial Church- reaching the neediest people, the rejected ones. This Bible study could possibly lead into what the Lord would have us do-so please be praying- Our hearts are to do the Lords will and be where He desires to plant us.

Please, check out the pictures (below) - it is true, that pictures speak louder than words. All praise and glory to Jesus- Our king and Savior! Please keep these folk in prayer as the Lord continues to do a work in their lives

A big shout of “Thanks!” to everyone who served at the outreach- It was worth it.

A shout of “Thanks!” to all who prayed and gave money to this, I pray the Lord bless you back, Big Time!

Thank you for taking time to read this and for your prayers.

*Next Outreach is at Bashor Children’s Home in Goshen. This will be a Free Outdoor Evangelism Concert with the Christian rock band PS150 from Texas. More info on that later… Thanks again. God bless!
