ABOVE - The combined team of The Potter's House and RAVEN Midwest. This was our very first outreach together but it seemed like it was one of many. The two teams clicked and never missed a beat. Pastor Tom & The Potter's House crew were extremely helpful in making this very busy outreach a true blessing to the people. It is awesome to see the people that the LORD puts together to accomplish his work. In this team you have former inmates, former drug addicts, former prostitutes, former lesbians, former alcoholics and probably former other things. It just shows that anyone can turn their life around and be a blessing serving others for JESUS!!!

RAVENS - Brenda Huff, Bethann Darling, Eileen and Jimmie Hickman hustle to get food and drinks set up. A special thanks to Jimmie who has been going through some real challenges the last couple weeks. Jimmie is in charge of the trailer and he does an excellent job of making sure that things are in order and nothing gets damaged.

The people really came out to enjoy a warm day in the park with JESUS!!! We fed the people 50 pounds of bbq chicken, 160 polish sausages, 120 hotdogs, 12 loaves of bread for grilled cheese sandwiches, 20 pounds of baked beans, macaroni salad, chips, 12 cases of pop, and of course, lots of candy. We also provided the people with food and health care items to take home. Pastor Joe and Nancy raffled a $50.00 gift card off also.





RAVEN Tony Huguley ministers the WORD to a brother in the park. This brother told me that Brother Tony had him thinking about some things and that it was time that he get back in church and get his life right with the LORD!!

RAVEN Jimmie Hickman carries blankets for one of the ladies. The blankets were donated to us by The Farmstead Inn in Shipshewana, IN. A special thanks to the manager, Micah Staley for thinking of us. The people were real excited about receiving the blankets.



It was said that the kids do not get to use this park much because of the parents not letting the kids out with all the drug activity that goes on there. Many people commented that it was so nice to see the people be able to enjoy themselves in the park. This is the case in many of the neighborhoods that we go into. We must keep going to take back the ground that the enemy has stolen!!!The Potter's House provided roses for the women that came out. The Potter's House was such a blessing in many ways!!
Pastor Lance shares JESUS with one of the little ones.
Eileen and Brenda minister to a local drug dealer (along the fence). He said that he was touched by what was going on in the park. He said that this was so much needed for the kids. They minstered to him telling him that he needed to change his life around and be a positive role model for the kids. They ended up praying with Tim to rededicate his life to the LORD!!!!
Our next outreach will be the first Saturday in May. I was told today by Pastor Tom Tekker that we will again be accompanied by the crew of The Potter's House!!! We will be in Ford Heights, Illinois. We continue to build relationships with the people of Ford Heights. This is the most depressed area of any that we go to. Please keep these people lifted up in prayer. A huge thank you to those of you that have helped the ministry financially. Those checks seem to come at just the perfect time. The Lord has always provided for this ministry and we know HE always will!! As I have said before, we have very few regular monthly partners of the ministry. Please prayerfully consider hooking up with us as a monthly partner. Just to give you an idea in the last 8 days of ministry we have made three trips into Chicago along with our local ministry. The cost for gas alone was $290.00. (that includes a full tank for the week coming up) People when you give to our ministry you are hooking up with touching many lives for JESUS!!!
Again, thank you so very much to those that have helped financially and those that have kept us lifted up in PRAYER!! GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!
