Inner City Detroit - Please Pray!!!

The Lord has called a small group of believers from Southeastern Michigan and Northern Ohio into the worst section and most poverty stricken areas of inner City Detroit known as Cass Corridor. The Lord lead us specifically through a vision to a park called Cass Park which is inhabited by literally hundreds of homeless, gangs, desperately poor, drug dealers, murders, rapist, prostitutes, pimps and others most "church folk" are scared or have no desire to take the Gospel to.

We go down on Sat and Sun with food and to open air preach and to do one to one witnessing and also on Wed or Thurs to do a Bible study in the park. We preach a hardcore uncompromising message against sin, for complete repentance, and the power of Jesus to set us free from sin and bondage to the devil. The power of the Holy Spirit is falling greater each time we go and conviction is strong as the Spirit moves. People are coming to true repentance and getting set free from the chains of sin that bind them! Praise the Lord! We have anywhere from 25 to 200 people for open air preaching and feed between 200 and 300 people on Sat and then again on Sun.

Please pray for the power of the Holy Spirit to fall on this inner city park with conviction and healing both physically and spiritually. Also pray for our and our children's protection (the laborer are few so we enlist our children)as we minister in what would be considered a dangerous area.

Here are some pictures from the park. If any of the people in these pictures touch your heart please pray for them specifically. But please pray for all these people as they need all the prayer they can get.

Patrick,
I praise God for you, Brother, for your willingness to go and share the Gospel with the people most folks don't want to be around.
I pray that God will protect all of you, put a hedge around you, and let you proclaim the Gospel, with Holy Boldness.
Nellie

Amen! I praise God for people who not only talk about their faith, but are willing to live it out.
"if you love Me keep My commandments" ~ Jesus
I love the way you love God. I will pray.

Also pray for our and our children's protection (the laborer are few so we enlist our children)as we minister in what would be considered a dangerous area.

I believe the Lord knows what He is doing , and His Spirit is everywhere on this earth.He is among you and His wings form around you and protect you. He that is in you is greater than he that is in the world. The Lord is with you always.

[b]Thank you all so much for your prayers!!![/b] This Saturday and Sunday was amazing in Cass Park Detroit! The power of God is falling stronger and stronger each week as more people are being set free from bondage to Devil. The Word of God was preached hard and strong and pierced the hearts of hearers like barbed arrows. Many people were convicted and moved by the power of God. Brother Norman who used to live in the park and was set free from the bondage of drugs and alcohol by the power of Jesus Christ gave a powerful testimony on Saturday. The Lord is rising up a rag tag revival army of captive sinners set free and filled with the power of the Holy Ghost!! Here are some links to a video of Norman’s testimony and some video of open air preaching in the park and some pictures. PLEASE, PLEASE keep praying!!! Especially for Kelly, Rodney (just gave his life to Lord on Sat.), Alice (16 year old prostitute- not real name) and Carl who is missing and feared dead.

Take a look at what happens to Detroit thugs ready for a fight when hit by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Testimonies from this week– Chip has been delivered from the bondage of alcohol. Marcel has also been delivered from the bondage of alcohol. Henry has been delivered from the bondage of alcohol and cigarettes. All by the through the power of Jesus and all the glory goes to Him!

Also, I was talking with Rodney who gave his life to the Lord for the first time last week. Rodney’s biggest problem was chain and knife fighting in the park and anger and violence. Josef told Rodney that Jesus said we were suppose to turn the other cheek. Rodney thought this was ridiculous but thought that since Jesus said it, then he would give it a try. Rodney told me that this week somebody came upon him and pushed him and tried to get him to fight. Rodney said that he had remembered what we told him about turning the other cheek and he had been reading his Bible like we had instructed him to do. So Rodney turned around and walked the other way, to be bombarded with shouts of “punk, sissy, wimp, scared, etc.” and mocks and jeers from the gangs in the park. Well two days later Rodney saw that the same guy was in the park and Rodney knew he had to walk through the park to get were he was going. Rodney, sure that because of his backing down a few day earlier that he would know be beat down for sure, grabbed his chain and his butcher knife ready for a fight. Sure enough as soon as Rodney entered the park the guy approached him. Rodney had his chain in one hand under his shirt and knife in the other hand in his pocket. The guy immediately said to Rodney. “Hey Rodney, I just wanted to apologize for pushing you and coming at you the other day. I am really sorry please forgive me and thank you for not fighting me.” Rodney was amazed at the power of Jesus and informed us that he has now gotten rid of his fighting chain and knife. The first time we meet Rodney he pulled up his shirt and showed his chain and made sure we knew what it was for. Rodney who has been shot five different times and has been in bondage to violence and anger has been set free by the blood of Jesus!!!

The power of God is still moving stronger and stronger each time we go. People are openly weeping and wailing during the preaching of the word as the power of the Holy Spirit falls upon them and convicts them of their sins. Please continue to pray for the power God and the Holy Spirit to fall upon this park and the people who live there. Many people think that souls are won on the streets, but the truth is that souls are won in the pray closet; they are harvested on the streets.

I have many wonderful videos of some powerful John the Baptist style preaching that I will be posting when I get a chance.

Thank you again for your continued prayers.

Patrick

I thank God that y'all are in the inner city, much too often neglected here in North America

I will going down this week to find out about a building for us for to use during the winter time to continue our ministry. The Lord has laid this specific building on my heart. Please pray that his will be done. I feel He may give us this building.

Thank you for your prayers,
Patrick

Here are some short open air video clips from down at Cass Park. I think you will enjoy them. I have some more coming. The preaching of the word is becoming more powerful as we continue to fast and pray and seek the Lord. These are both from Sunday. Saturday was some real old style hell fire preaching. We fell the Lord is calling us back to the "old path".

Just a reminder PLEASE pray for this Sat and Sun! The Lord is beginning to shake this and it people! We need all the prayer we can get! I really feel the Lord is about to birth a street revival in inner city Detroit

Here are a few videos of the messages that came forth last weekend. Please feel free to offer constructive criticism on the preaching. Purity in preaching and guidance of the Holy Spirit is extremely important to us! We seek the the Lord in fasting and prayer and speak the words we fell He gives us to speak. God knows what needs to be said not us. If you hear that is questionable in your opinion please bring it our attention immediately. We must be beyond reproach in our preaching.
