180 Outreach Ministries: First Outreach of the year- La Casa Apartments May 2014

It was a beautiful day and a great turnout!!

We just completed our first block party outreach of year (2014) and it's time to testify of God greatness and shout a huge thank you to all who gave of their time and finances toward this event. Thank you! Also, the prayers that you all prayed were definitely heard as the day was absolutely marvelous the weather turned out superb! All praise and glory to God!

The turnout was awesome. We estimate over two hundred neighborhood people attended the block party. It was really a blessing just loving on the people as they came to the event. The children were particularly blessed as they had a blast receiving balloons, getting their face painted and of course enjoying the bounce house.

Loving on people- showing Jesus in a tangible way was and is our goal. Everyone who came to the event was greeted with a smile and made to feel special. As the people settled in and grabbed some food we sat down by them and greeted them and talked to them sharing their importance to God- So many people commented on how that could just feel the love of Christ at the block party. We witnessed, we shared the Gospel and testified to everyone we could. The team did an outstanding job.

Speaking of the team, it was totally incredible having the whole Teen Challenge ministry out there with us. For many of these guys it was their first time out evangelizing and witnessing on the streets. So we praise God! They all did an outstanding job. Plus they brought out their praise band and ministered in song- they are so gifted! Bro. Eric Swanson, one the TC staff, preached a word for the community that was anointed and right spot on. God worked mightily ministering to the hearts as Eric shared the Gospel.

I ministered to a lot of people one on one, but one of the highlights for me was ministering to a young woman and her fiancé. Her name is Rebecca and I met her as myself and two TC brothers were going door to door. We met her at her apartment and she was open to the invite to the block party and she was eagerly listening to what we were saying. She confessed some struggles she had and she took a Bible from us. When we offered to pray for her she shared her concern for her baby as she was five month pregnant. We prayed and ministered to her at her apartment and it was so cool to see her come to the block party as she brought her fiancé. We all loved on them, and ministered to both of them for quite a while. He shared how he came to know Jesus as a child but he knew he could do better serving and living for Jesus. We exhorted him and prayed over both of them.
