Today we had the opportunity to experience what a bilingual church service is like. God’s presence was so evident.
Later we took to the streets to evangelize and invite people to an event in the park on Tuesday night. It was incredible to see everyone stepping out in boldness as they shared God’s love and prayed for people they didn’t even know.

Yesterday after church, we walked to Riis Park passing out flyers to people. In addition, we were sharing information about the event at the park that is hosted by Starting Point Church.
It was a great time to meet new people, practice our Spanish, and enjoy each other’s company.

This morning we are working on projects at the church and preparing for the National Day Out event where Starting Point Community Church will come alongside a number of other organizations to encourage the community.
One team is working with Pastor Jonathan to organize ministry supplies and set up offices in the sanctuary while another is organizing donations. Our third team is creating a craft and putting together bags full of school supplies to giveaway at tomorrow’s event.

Sharing the Gospel can seem intimidating at times, but it really begins with a friendly conversation.

Some of us prepared crafts for tomorrow's event at Riis Park. We also had a good time organizing the crafts cabinet and a storage closet.

This afternoon, we spent time in worship and prayer for this location. We prayed for the needs of Belmont Cragin, like softening the hearts of the community and instilling a desire in the church members to be disciples and outreach.
Prayer is a powerful thing that brings us closer to God. We took some time to walk around the church and pray over this location.

This morning, we all started the day by cleaning and reorganizing the church and location we’ve been staying at.
We also had a small group fixing a stage that the church utilizes. In addition, we weeded and mulched the surrounding of the church. We’ve all been working really hard with positive attitudes!

Booth is set, hot dogs are on the grill, and the kid's table is packed! We are so excited to be out connecting with the community and telling people about the ministry of Starting Point Community Church.

What a great night at the national night out! It was a great time to meet people, serve them, pray for them, and offer materials.
God is so good! He provides, blesses, and is present in our lives. We had the opportunity to pray over people and offer them the hope and love God gives us.
