Update

Just a quick update.

Yesterday New Life Wesleyan Church in Chesterton had a few local ministries like NeighborLink Porter County, Chesterton Campus Life, Frontline Foundations to share about what God is doing in the area. And Neighborhood Ministry was one of them. Since yesterday we have 7 new people who want to help spread the good news of Jesus Christ to our neighbors in need! There are some other doors that the Lord might be opening as well.

What has been on my heart recently is to see if we could get the children in these neighborhoods into summer christian camps and/or Sunday schools or basketball camps. I would also like to see if we could have a way of getting people to the church by van or by bus. I know that there are few churches in the areas of Chesterton, Valparaiso, and Portage that have vans or busses that may be able to help in that way as well as the summer programs for kids.

A couple more things that I think we could do is simply just pray with the people here in the trailer parks and see what God does from that. There are aprox. 7-8 trailer parks within 2 miles of each other and around 1,000 trailers around here and that is just within a couple of miles here on rt. 20! And if we can team up and go with at least 2 people at a time, that would be a good thing. I can't tell you how important it is to have women helping becuase there are a lot of single moms who need us to help. So with new people from New Life Wesleyan Church we have both men and women who can help. This is tremendous! Thank you Jesus!

I'm open to any thoughts you might have. I will be talking to a few people in the next few days to see if this can happen. Please keep praying! God is responding!
