FORD HEIGHTS OUTREACH

We had a great time in Ford Heights, Illinois today. From the time we pulled into the parking lot we had a flow of people. We ministered the Word and fed many and were also able to give many less fortunate people food to take home. We fed the people grilled cheese sandwiches, polish sausage, hotdogs, chips, candy, pop and water. We had bulk food such as beans, lentils, yellow peas, vegetable protein (all items that can be used to make soup), along with many personal care items, different kinds of candy, pasta, tomato soup to name part of it.

Ford Heights is located just south of Chicago. It is a very run down and depressed area. We have been told that it is one of the top poverty areas in the country. It has also been said that the homeless from the inner city of Chicago are driven out to this area.

This is common in this area where the police are arresting a young man. The police were out several times to this location across the street from us while we were in the area. The police are very respectful to us and thankful that we come into the area.

We were in a perfect area today where we could minister to at least 200 people. Along with the food we had a number of coats, shoes, and other clothes.The foodline was held down by Brenda Huff, Briana Santiago, and Leigh Prathaftakis.

Leigh prays with a couple that was struggling as many are in this area. Please pray for the people of Ford Heights.

Leigh takes some extra time to love on this lady.Pastor Lance ministers to a brother.

Young Tony Connell was a ministering machine today. He was constantly ministering to someone or helping someone get food to their car.

It didn't matter who, Tony was after them with the WORD!!!Layne and Cole were helping in a number of places as usual. Here they were taking over the grill duties.Cole cooking it up!!

Layne, Tony, and Cole tag team a brother with the WORD, they ministered to this brother for a long time.

Tony helps the people find coats.Reverend Darrin from Chicago prays for a brother.

Next week we have a big outreach in Chicago again. We will be at the corner of Divison & Cicero. We will be hooking up with Pastor Joe and Nancy Wyrostek from Metro Praise Church. We will have Pastor Tom and Malena Tekker along with their team from The Potter's House of Deliverance in South Bend with us.

We want to thank those of you that help make all of this possible. Several came forward and helped in the last couple weeks. A big part of that went to helping Pastor Alex & Holly with their move from Austin, Tx. to Daytona Beach. This is a very important move in furthering the ministry and setting up the RAVEN Training Center in Daytona Beach. Thanks again and God Bless you for all your help.
