Funding and Housing - Real Challenges

5/24/2015

Pub Evangelism: Praise God for Ben, Blake, Jeff and Bart as we work together to hone our evangelism skills on Thursday nights, and as we build our relationships with each other.
Funds Update: We continue to seek partners willing to serve as patrons for the church plant, helping to fund our efforts. So far, Dan has been able to work two other jobs to keep us going. Pray for his stamina.

Housing: After our special appeal last week, we received a number of very positive responses that we will be following up with after the holiday weekend. In fact, Dan received a call from one apartment complex, the Beerline B Apartments, about 45 minutes after the email went out! And while the apartments are not going to work out, we feel that we are making progress even if it is just in eliminating possibilities.

Urban Ministry
This week's Urban Ministry Roundtable focused on the “where” and “how” of pub evangelism. Others are interested in starting their own groups, including one pastor who would like to begin a group west, in Waukesha. Praise God! His Kingdom is being built.

Bible Study

Dan taught a Salvation Army Bible Study on forgiveness, which was well received. Five attended the study, including two staff members. We didn’t make any new connections for the church plant, but the gospel was taught. Praise God for opportunities to declare the gospel.

Pub Evangelism

Our Pub Evangelism project hit an unexpected bump last Monday when one of our members collapsed and had to be taken to the hospital. Praise God, he’s okay! And an additional praise is that one of the guys from the Thursday night group led someone to Christ in his workplace last Thursday.

Preaching: Dan preached on John 15:18-27 last Sunday. If you would like to hear the sermon, click here.

Pub Evangelism

We met at St Francis Brewery Monday. Most of those there are members of the Core Group for the church. Keep praying for us as we use our Pub Evangelism efforts to build our core group for the church plant and train guys for evangelism.
No one came for our Thursday meeting. Disappointing, but not everything is a success in church planting. Please keep praying!

Midwest Connection conference

What a great conference! Dan felt challenged, pushed and encouraged, as did Sherry. Rev Thurmond Williams touched our hearts and encouraged us greatly. Thank you for praying!

Housing

Keep praying for our ability to move downtown, and for our patience.

Training Evangelists

Our Pub Evangelism efforts are growing! Last week we had a great meeting at The Tracks in Riverwest (just north of Brewer's Hill). As excitement builds over this unique evangelism effort, Dan has begun to partner with Remnant Force, a city-wide men's ministry that wants to expand the training. That group will be meeting on Thursday nights. Praise God for new evangelists working to spread the gospel in Milwaukee!

Reports from The 1 Alternative open mic event are exciting. Event organizer Markasa Chambers reports testimonies of changed lives were given. Praise God for Markasa's ministry, and for its impact on the city of Milwaukee!

We praise God also that despite Dan's asthma attack last week, that God is faithful to supply all that we need as we honor His name and obey His call to share the gospel with Milwaukee. May the name of Jesus be lifted high over this city, and may every knee bow to Him!
