| A
week of fasting and Prayer
A healing for
the land and people.
At a prayer gathering for North Minneapolis
July 28th we talked about a “Hands Across The City”
community outreach event on the recently closed Lincoln School Field
and Playground - Aug 23rd . After the prayer and
conversation I felt impressed by the Lord to do a week of Prayer and
Fasting before the event. But that’s not all I also felt that the
week of prayer and fasting needed to be on or by the grounds where
we will be doing the outreach and the fasting was to include to
TALKING. Now for me that your be hard.
So I will be setting up a large tent on Lincoln Playground where the
outreach will take place.
We will set up the tent August 16th
or 17th in the afternoon -
The other day on one of the corners of my block
there were 8 shots fired.

The question I ask –
-
Who is leading, disciplining or mentoring this young man.
-
How long will he live if he continues this life
style.
-
How can we as Christians have an influence on him
and other youth like him.
-
Are we willing to pay the price in money, time, and our
talent to do what it will take to make a difference.
Dear Friends - Would you please
consider getting the message out concerning the following for prayer
and tangible help: There is a urgent need to come along side the
youth of North Minneapolis. There is a great need to demonstrate our concern for the
youth by coming along side them not just for this event but for the
school year. as mentors or as mentors to youth workers.
To Whom it may Concern:
I am writing on behalf of Youth
Resources and three other ministries.

What was it? - Hands
Across the City is a community festival event involving a
number of Churches and Organizations with one or two lead
churches for an event. This year we will do 5 events like this.
Our goal is to reach out to the community and bring life.
Believers In Christ is the lead church for the event on the 23rd.
-
We also provide a physical blessing for the land. We
will do this by setting up a tent on August 17th and
for the next week we weeded, swept, rake, clean, and
Pray for the land. On the 23rd
we had bands, games, and free
food. From the stage on an hourly schedule we drew
for door prizes and gave every child that wants one a
back to school backpack.

Gen
1:31 God saw all that he had made, and it
was very good. Gen 2:15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the
Garden to work it and take care of it.
This area has been the
scene of gang fights, vandalism and shootings. We want to
reclaim the land. We are asking for the permission of the
Minneapolis school board to do this.
