Downtown South Bend Community Outreach

Today we brought the city of South Bend a way to look at the church differently than ever before . . .

Pastor Gil Michel, Lance, Al & Jennifer

In an empty field God brought souls who were hungry . . .

Prayer, salvation, Holy Spirit baptism, healing, restoration & ministry took place outside the four walls of a "church"

There was something for everyone - free food, books/Bibles, clothing, face painting, kids games, live music & free haircuts

We praise God for the work He did through us today, as we bless others He blesses us beyond our wild imagination!

Today the city of South Bend saw the tangible love of Christ through His people. What better way to show the heart of God to our community?

On Saturday, June 27th transformation will take place at the lot across the street from 540 Carroll St., South Bend, where there's already a community garden as well as a book exchange. This day we'll fill the lot with people . . . volunteers as well as residents. Like other outreaches we'll be out on the streets ministering the two weeks prior to this day. We're praying along with the church for God to move on the hearts of those that we come in contact. Let is be a day they'll never be the same!

Following a week of revival as team from out of state came to South Bend and hit the streets with prayer, the fire continues . . . Lord, set your people ablaze with the Holy Spirit and truth!!

Our home church, Christian Center was host of this revival & were blessed to be a part. Pastor Mark Lantz and other pastors in our area came together in agreement to bring down strongholds in our city.

As the teaching of the late Dr. Lester Sumrall, founder of Christian Center Church, every city has evil spirits that are controlling and dominate over that city until the people of God rise up, fast, pray and take their authority by going out in Jesus' name and showing the enemy he's defeated. He only can control what will allow him and we will not stand for our city being under the control of the enemy any longer!!

Please consider coming out to stand in agreement with us and showing South Bend that we as christians are no longer sitting down in our pews and letting souls go to hell as we sing "You're the God of This City".

May Outreach at Ravina Park in South Bend

BLOCK PARTY OUTREACH TO THE INNER CITY OF SOUTH BEND

Here in South Bend many of us do not see the daily terror in some areas that occur in our city. Remembering we are part of a neighborhood, a city that many suffer pain of divorce, abuse & abandonment. Many times we hear on the news shootings, children being left for dead by teen mothers who are hopeless or families being torn apart by none other than (let's call it what it is) the work of the devil. What can we do about these things?

Pray! And that's just what we did . . . 

Street Ministry

A report from the FBI verify the fact of very real gang activity in our city - 

Seven Members of the Cash Out Boyz Street Gang Indicted in Racketeering Conspiracy

				Seven Members of the Cash Out Boyz Street Gang Indicted... SOUTH BEND, IN—United States Attorney David Capp announced that seven individuals alleged to be members of the Cash Out Boyz street gang were charged in an ...

The residents we talked to were scared to go to the park because of take over by gangs. We came face to face with this devil as we set out to do some street ministry the evening prior to the outreach. He wanted to stop it. As my husband drove his truck down Lebanon Street next to Ravina Park, a young black man approached him and said "This is not gonna happen"

But, guess what? It DID!!!

Despite the threat . . . we don't back down and "Greater is HE that is in me than he that is in the world" (1 John 4:4)

Brother Tony ministered to the kids playing ball showing them the love of God!

Leigh brought a message of how great God is and faith in what He can do.

Brother Lance ministered one on one . . .

Glory to God for shining His light in a dark place. He has given us authority . . . if we only use it! 

Ministry went on in various ways of service:

Free Haircuts

  

Face Painting for the kids

Volunteers helped to give the residents a peaceful & blessed day!

We fed about 200 people

Salvation Survey tent had good ministry time

Many miracles, salvation & prayer happened

Our next outreach is June 27th at "That Church Downtown" located the corner of Carroll St. & South St. in South Bend.

We'll continue to press toward mark for the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus, Philippians 3:14

Thank you to all who prayed, stood with us, volunteered, gave & supported the work of the ministry. We appreciate you all and pray the Lord bless & keep you!!

In His Service,
Pastors Al & Jennifer Sabin

The enemy has been defeated - Hillsong United

GOOD FRIDAY . . . WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

Colossians 2:15 "Having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it."


                       

Lift up His name for the victory He has given us, 

show your gratitude to Jesus for the greatest 

sacrifice anyone could ever make.  Make this 

Good Friday the most meaningful ever.  

Take the victory over the 

enemy you have been given!

1st Corinthians 22 For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all 

will be made alive. 23 But each in turn: Christ, the 

firstfruits; then, when he comes, those who belong to him. 

24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the 

kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all 

dominion, authority and power. 25 For he must reign until 

he has put all his enemies under his feet. 26 The last 

enemy to be destroyed is death. 27 For he “has put 

everything under his feet.” Now when it says that 

“everything” has been put under him, it is clear that this 

does not include God himself, who put everything under 

Christ. 28 When he has done this, then the Son himself will 

be made subject to him who put everything under him, so 

that God may be all in all.

Outreach Meeting at Christian Center Church Cafe

On Saturday, March 28th at 11:00 a.m. we will hold a meeting at the Christian Center Cafe

The newly remodeled Cafe has a lot of seating and has a great atmosphere located inside Christian Center Church at 530 E. Ireland Rd., South Bend, Indiana

We are blessed to have the support of our Pastor, Mark Lantz and to partner with Pastors Lance & Leigh Prathaftakis.  This will be an incredible year of outreach to our community and reaching souls for the kingdom of God!

Please come and be a part of working together to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ and show the love of God as it has been given to us so freely!! 

As we come together and pray, get information and listen to experienced leaders share on outreach, believe the Lord for something that's never happened before.  Romans 4:17 (as it is written: “I have made thee a father of many nations”), in the presence of Him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead and calleth those things which are not, as though they were."
