Care Bag Outreach
Over the last several years, our church has been involved in a type of outreach termed, “Servant Evangelism”, where we endeavor to bless our communities with the love of Christ without asking anything in return. Often, churches are perceived as constantly having their hand out asking for things, and we want to turn that perception… Continue reading Care Bag Outreach
Lord, save them from their trial, but not from their sin…
I wonder how often we do a disservice to those we love who are out of the Faith? Abram’s nephew Lot went to the sinful twin-cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. After a time, Lot is taken captive when the cities were besieged, and Abram sets out with his armies to defeat his captors. Afterward, the… Continue reading Lord, save them from their trial, but not from their sin…
Hug Grand Rapids!
I wanted to post about a great outreach we’ve been doing in our community for the last few years. It has been a hit each year, and annually we do more and more hugs. For Valentine’s Day, our small(but big-minded) church buys bags of Hershey’s Hugs, thousands of ziplock snack bags, and confetti, and printed… Continue reading Hug Grand Rapids!

By Richard Whitman I recently was asked the question, “How long has it been since you won a soul to the Lord.” At first I was pleased to answer, “Just last week.” After all, last Sunday we had a man baptized in Jesus name and filled with the Holy Ghost. Then I began to relish… Continue reading What is Soul Winning?

Backpack Beverage Outreach – Black Friday and Beyond!
The day after Thanksgiving is “Black Friday”, the day when companies around the U.S. come out of the “red” and into the “black”. They do this by offering exceptional sales and make up profit in volume. The kicker is this… it’s COLD and people start arriving to wait in line at, like 4am for the… Continue reading Backpack Beverage Outreach – Black Friday and Beyond!
Responsibility to Reach the Lost
The responsibility to reach the lost has never been more urgent! The destiny of men and of nations is always being decided. Every generation is strategic; but none more strategic to end time Apostolic revival than the present. We are not responsible for the past generation, and we cannot bear full responsibility for the… Continue reading Responsibility to Reach the Lost
