Sunday Morning @ The Potter's House & Sunday Night @ Metro Praise

We had one wild weekend in Jesus starting with Pastor Brandon (RAVEN Southwest) and I hitting the streets of Elkhart, IN. Friday night. We had non stop witnessing going from one person or group to another for around 4 hours. That is church at it's best!!! Then we had a great time at El-Divino Redemor in Elkhart after picking Pastor Troy up at the airport. There were many of us that ministered there: Pastor Troy, Pastor Brandon, Pastor Lance & Leigh, Anthony Leblanc, Brother Steve Ignowski, and Brenda Huff. We were also glad to see Brother Andy VanArsdale from New Creation pop in.

Pastor Tom Tekker of The Potter's House of Deliverance and his wife Pastor Malena are an awesome couple and are on fire chasing after Jesus!! They have become good friends and partners of RAVEN Ministries. They have many people that have a heart for the streets and we will be hooking up with them in the parks and on the streets.

Pastor Malena leads some awesome praise & worship.Pastor Troy brought a powerful message as usual @ The Potter's House.

From the Potter's House it was off to the airport to pickup Eileen then we were on the road to Chicago. Fourteen of us headed for Metro Praise on 5405 W. Diversey. This is an awesome church also with Pastor Joe and Nancy Wyrostek heading things up.

The prayer team prepares the house for a night of radical praise & worship & ministry!!!

The sign says "Let's Get Radical" and that is exactly what happened!! Pastor Joe & Nancy have a church of mostly youth that are on fire for JESUS!!! Praise & Worship @ Metro Praise!!!

Pastor Joe Wyrostek who is another friend and partner of RAVEN. Pastor Joe has worked with the RAVEN Team in New Orleans during Mardi Gras on several occasions. He has some great stuff going on in Chicago. We will be teaming up with them for an outreach on April 21st on Cicero @ Division.

Nancy Wyrostek is an awesome leader also @ Metro Praise.Pastor Troy was intense as he delivered THE WORD!!!!!Pastor Troy demonstrates an example while he ministers THE WORD!!

We had a great time @ Metro Praise and when church was over then it was time for fellowship. We went out for pizza then and had a great time.

When we were leaving the pizza place a guy approached us that was hungry. We just happened to have left over pizza to give him but what he got was much more than that. Above, he pours out his 40 oz. beer bottle onto the street. He was also a heroine addict and told Pastor Troy that he was going to be going into a program. Pastor Troy told him that he had a program for him right now. He ministered the WORD to him and the man ended up giving his life to JESUS!!! (below)Pastor Troy and Pastor Brandon with the man after they led him to JESUS!!!!

It was then time to get on the road because we needed to be on the set of The Harvest Show at 8:20 a.m. We ended up getting home at 3:30 in the morning.

We were on time in South Bend.On the set!!! The show aired @ 9:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. last night.

Midwest thanks Pastor Troy and Pastor Brandon for coming in for a great time in JESUS!! We ended up traveling somewhere around 500 miles from Friday to dropping them off at the airport on Monday. They went home well rested as usual.
