Christ was preached and God was glorified! There was an amazing amount of volunteers who came out to serve our homeless neighbors and those in need. God used the gospel visually and verbally to touch hearts as we as one body made of many parts came together to spread the love and Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Here is what the Lord did, to GOD be all the GLORY!

Volunteers are the backbone of nonprofit organizations and each & every one of you dedicated your time and energy to make a difference in our city serving our homeless neighbors and those in need who were in attendance on May 3rd. Thank-you very much to ALL of God’s churches, ministries and Christ centered organizations for your donations, participation, prayers and volunteers service as we (SBCOC) was very blessed to have each of you as a part of this year’s Easter Outreach. You did an awesome job at your booths greeting our neighbors with smiles and compassion reflecting the love of Christ. It was a privilege to have met most of you and most of all serving together as the CHURCH...ONE BODY IN CHRIST. You truly made a difference in the lives that you came in passing with as I heard some great stories to include prayers, praise report and even a miraculous healing...my sprang ankle (prayer of healing by Pastor Ryan)!
Special thanks to Pastor Baize, First Lady Pat and all of OCV staff for their extraordinary support allowing us to host this year's outreach on their property. They provided a wide variety of their services to include electricity, water, gym, white tent, cafeteria along w/all their cooking equipment, sound system, hand held walky talkys, tables, chairs and countless of supplies. We had the pleasure of working alongside Pastor Baize & his wife Pat, Deidra, Veronica, Frank, Ivy and Chris w/Sounds System are just a few to mention, your generosity and responses to assist was amazing and a HUGE blessing...THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
