Adopt a Block Project

I think the event was a grand slam for both CP and the community. I witnessed was people who generally don't get out in the neighborhoods too often (or ever) blossom during this project. This last thing that Lisa (the single mom we ministered to) told me was: I can't tell you how much I appreciate this. I think I want to come to your church - check you guys out.

The people in my group were wonderful. Three of the women picked a different block than the one others of us were on and they knocked on doors to pray for people. They prayed for a lot of people and their rejected rate was 0. I know that we made an impact on our neighborhood.

Two of the men that I minister to came out on their porch and without any encouragement from me and testified how God was answering the prayers we had prayed together. What I realized is that God is ready, willing and able to use folks who make themselves available for His use.
