Rock-A-Block
Posted by: Denelle
Elim Tabernacle in Milwaukee, WI, recently found an innovative new way to reach out to their local community with a giant block party. A great time was had by all in a fun time out fellowship and outreach.
Here is Pastor Steve Rogers report:
*Over 500 in attendance / 370 non-church members
*Served over 800 hot-dogs and brats
*Music, games, fear factor, prayer… all was great
*We prayed & counseled with many who were having trouble with drugs and alcohol… many people came forward wanting prayer for sickness
*Over 72 people signed up for Home Bible Studies
All of this right in front of one of the LF’s (a street gang in Milwaukee) hangouts. Elim brought the refreshing rain of the Holy Spirit while nature supplied a beautiful soft summer rain. It was a WONDERFUL time!

Now THIS is the antithesis of what you presented in your last post with the YouTube video. THIS is how we reach people - NOT by demeaning what they believe, but by SERVING them! Thank you for encouraging my heart. I'm hoping this example is in the majority.

Getting church outside of church- It is the heart of the Great Commission. Jesus said, "Go ye" not "build it and they will come". Great story.

Awesome! May this kind of outreach become a common thing among our churches. I agree with aahrens - so much better than demeaning what others believe.
