So, I hit the Dunkin Donuts in the dowtown library first.
Alyn (the InAsMuch minister from Broadway Christian Church) lead a ministry that is a compassion based ministry in downtown Fort Wayne. In our 2.5 hours together, I learned a lot about InAsMuch, but want to share two things with you now:
- They have an excellent structure and process for helping people out of poverty, not just handing them food, clothes or money without any exit strategy.
- They share the gospel with everyone they help. They provide accountability and help people to grow, not just survive another day.
After my time with him, including a prayer walk around downtown, I met my wonderful sister Penny for a quick lunch and then went to a meeting at the Chamber of Commerce about handling media outlets as a small business/non-profit leader.
One other note- in the last 5 days we have met and had good conversations with about a dozen neighbors. It's been great, and we look forward to getting to know them all better as the weather starts to warm up!
Thank you, Lord.
As always, God continues to put the puzzle pieces together in you life and ministry. Praise God! Mom
ReplyDeleteI thought about you all the other day. On KLove's news update they shared how many new churches are beginning to meet in movie theatres. They said this is less intimidating and more relaxed to those who wouldn't usually think of stepping foot into a traditional church. I found this to be interesting.
ReplyDeleteHope you all have had the same kind of beautiful weather we've had this weekend!
