LA CASA BLOCK PARTY REACAP...IT WAS AWESOME!!!

Incredible outreach this last Saturday at LaCasa Apartments in Elkhart! A big shout to all who prayed and gave toward this outreach, Thank you so much! Also, a big thanks to the servants, the workers, the ministers who came out and gave up their Saturday to be the hands and feet of Jesus… God bless you all!

What a day! And what a time we all had inviting the neighborhood people. We all always go out three times prior to the outreach knocking on doors and meeting the area people and inviting them to the outreach. This is really a key to many of the people coming. These one on one encounters really help many of the folk get to know us and it gives them a sense of peace to now be able to come to the event. Since they met us and have been given a personal invite they now feel comfortable to venture over to the block party. Plus, it also allows us to really be used of God as we offer prayer and share the Gospel message.

And we had some powerful times! I share a powerful testimony (below) of a young man who was away from God and this door to door encounter changed his life, as God had me cross paths with him at the right time.

The outreach itself was outstanding. I had several people tell me they heard about it on local TV. I am not sure what they saw or heard as we were not running any TV adds.. Ha!... How cool is that? But several said to me, “I seen a family event going on in LaCasa so I drove over.” All I can say is Praise God!”

Every area of ministry at the outreach flowed together- from the food team, to the book table, clothing, music, bounce house, sound system, face painting, balloons. Jesus was exalted and the love of Jesus was shown in Word and in deed. Amen.

The one on one ministry was powerful. Everyone that visited the outreach was given a question-air. This question-air asked them two questions. #1 it asks “Do you believe you will go to Heaven when you Die?” And  # 2 it asks the question of “why? So basically, these question-airs give us a gage to know where the person is at spiritually. From these two answers we then can minister to them as the Holy Spirit leads us. The other important bit of info on these question-airs is their contact information. (name, address, cell number) from this info we can follow up with a home visit or a phone call.

We had some incredible one on one encounters. Several were lead to Jesus as the Gospel was share to them. Everyone was prayed over. And the ones who did not have a Church home were invited to our Church fellowship- as we had info that we gave them.

The highlight of the day was when we shut all the tables down (even the bounce house) for everyone to gather around to hear the preaching of the Word. We did this right in the middle of the block party, the height of activity, when we had the most people at the event.

Pastor Jeff Cooper, from Christ Kingdom Fellowship preached a powerful evangelistic message. And the altar call was incredible! Some where around eighty people responded to Christ! Right outside in open air, people walked to the front to pray, to repent to get right with the Lord! It was incredible! People were prayed for to be delivered from strong holds and to be set free by the power of Jesus Christ! Many people were crying out to God for freedom!

The call was made for people who were ill and battling an infirmity. Several were prayed for. One lady named Mary had a hearing issue-she could hear out of her right ear. She cried out to the Lord for healing and she had hands laid on her for the recovery of her hearing and she cried on with tears of joy as she was healed and she could now hear! We all raised our hands in praise unto Jesus as this woman was healed. Praise the name of Jesus!! Our God is real and He still saves, heals and delivers!!!

Please check the pictures out below. Please pray as we attempt to follow up and reach out to those who attended the block party. God is alive and He is changing lives!!! …Amen!

Thanks for reading! God bless

 A FRIDAY NIGHT STREET TESTIMONY:

(A PRODICAL COMES HOME)  We were going door to door inviting everyone we could to the outreach on Saturday and we came to a door with several kids and a young man named Demetris. As Jodi and Katherine were talking to the kids, it gave me time to minister to Demetris. He told me how nicotine and street life have been a vice in his life. I shared with the story of the Prodigal son, who once he came to himself, just had to turn and go back home....amen..... I shared with him that once heading home, the Father will be waiting for you..not to condemn you or to be-raid you, but to love you.... I then walked over to Demetria and embraced him.. I hugged him with the love of Christ!!..amen.. and I looked him in the eye and said to him...."God loves you!"... He then said I want to surrender all to Him tonight.... Halleluiah!.. The son who was lost is now found!!... Glory to God.
