The Ravina Park Outreach in South Bend was great!
It was a great Outreach! |
There is just something about the inner city outreaches that
are so exciting. I guess, because you never know who might wander in, or who
shows up. Plus, believe it or not, most of the people you meet are very open to hear what you have to say.
They realize that we are there to bless them and help them, so they open up and
many of them stay the whole time to fellowship and dialog.
Today’s ministry team was from several different area
Churches and Ministries, and we all flowed together marvelously. The reason
this is possible is because of the common goal: JESUS!... That is the goal, to
minister Jesus! It is sharing Christ! To love people who don’t get much love.
Amen. This is why this works, and this is why it is effective.
A few of my highlights
from this day- a man I met named Marlin, he had the most awesome smile and he
was very friendly, he received a flyer last week and remembered it this
morning. He told me how recently he was injured and missed a lot of work and
stopped going to Church. He admitted he needed to get back into a fellowship.
We talked for a while he brought his brother with him. I was able to minister
and pray for him. He made arrangements to connect with Christian Center Church
(one of the local Churches attending the event.) Praise God!
Another cool highlight was a lady who showed up with her
two daughters. They just relocated from Florida, and the oldest daughter named
Kristen, desired to get involved in church and a youth group. They stayed for a while and were ministered
to.
Another whole family that came, I met them as we went out
inviting people to the Park after we set up. This was a large family, as there were
around ten of them, the cool thing is we almost walked by them. But I saw them
out of the corner of my eye as they were by the side of their house. This
really was a God appointment as all of them came to the Park. I personally had
some real effective ministry with the two boys, both of them struggling with
drugs, rejection, and depression. Many in that family were planning on
attending church.
The Teen Challenge guys who came out with us had a
incredible time. They all got to share their testimonies publicly and even did
some street ministry. I love their hearts and passion to serve and pray for
people.
Pastor Joel and
his Church, a Spanish ministering Church named Divine Touch, did a great job.
They connected with a few Spanish families that showed up at the outreach and
plans were in place for them to attend their Church which is just a few blocks
away from Ravina Park.
A big shout of thanks to all who served! Thank you as well to everyone who prayed and
gave toward this outreach. The biggest
shout of praise to the Lord Jesus Christ who gets all the glory for all the
good that went forth this day!!!... Praise You Lord!!!
