MPI March Newsletter

MPI MARCH NEWSLETTER

 

 Highlights from February

This past month Life Groups hosted a Super Bowl party where Pastor Corey Hicks,hip-hop rapper, performed during the half time show. After his performance many were impacted and  three people gave their lives to Jesus. We look forward to seeing these teens discipled and transformed.

 Another powerful outreach took place the second Saturday of the month at a local abortion clinic. As our team arrived we stood in front of the clinic, began to pray and reach out. One of our new members peaked through the window and was heartbroken to see women in the waiting room about ready to kill their unborn children. Our member began to slip informational pamphlets about the lawsuits that have been fought against this clinic due to malpractice. 

We are happy to announce that a woman got up and left shortly after reading the pamphlet!

As we head out to our monthly outreach our intent is not to bash nor condemn, but to she'd light into  such a dark time in a woman's life. We offer hope, options, free resources, and most importantly truth. There is an estimated 3,288 abortions done per day and we are asking God that He would use us to save them and their families from this destruction.

MPI is continuously looking for different ways to reach the broken and lost. If you are interested in being used by God contact us so we may get you connected.
