Busy, Busy, Busy!!!

Summer Outreaches for 2013

We are entering our busy season at BPOM, and with the addition of Thursday night outreaches with our friends from Abundant Life Church in Jackson, Georgia we will have plenty of action. We are scheduling weekend outreaches between now and September for teams of youth and/or adults who desire to be trained and equipped for evangelism and healing ministry outside the walls the church building. Training and lodging and outreach on the streets is FREE. Registration is open and we are starting to fill up quickly, so contact us now to schedule your group. We have separate dorms for guys and gals, and room for 10 in each dorm. Each dorm has 2 showers and 2 sinks. The ministry loft is located in Covington, about 40 minutes east of Atlanta. Each person is responsible for their own meals, and there is a Super Walmart nearby. The loft has a large kitchen so that everyone can prepare their own meals. We suggest something quick and easy such as sandwich meats, bread, chips, etc...

Da Bus

BPOM has recently purchased a ministry bus to be used for outreach, and it is exactly what we were looking for! It can carry up to 14 people, as well as ministry supplies and outreach materials.



Pine Ridge, South Dakota

I was recently invited to go on a weekend mission trip to the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in South Dakota. Our dear friends, Wade and Katie McHargue are ministering there among the Lakota Indians. We saw some significant breakthroughs while we were there, as a group of men gathered from 10 states to minster to and pray for these precious people. I was asked to teach the men who had come there on how to minister healing to the sick and afflicted in order to open the hearts of the people to receive the Gospel. About 24 people were healed in 2 days of ministry on the Rez, and approximately 14 surrendered their lives to Jesus Christ! To God be the glory!

SUMMER OUTREACH SCHEDULING

During the months of May though September we we be scheduling outreaches for individuals and/or groups who want to come to our minstry facility to be involved in outreach for a week or a weekend. This is an aweaome opportunity for youth groups and others to get trained and equipped for outreach, then take that experience back to their own local communities. There is no fee for lodging or training, and each person will be responsible for food. Although we have a full kitchen at the facility, we strongly recommend lunch type foods which can be purchased at the local Wal-Mart.
These outreaches will train and equip in the areas of personal evangelism, healing and outreach. For more information, contact us at (704) 271-3028

Three Outreaches in One Week

Busy week this week...and we LOVE it! Tuesday night we had our weekly Broken Pieces outreach on Whitehall Street in the ATL. We had about fifty volunteers from several churches who came to help us as we fed and ministered to about seventy of our homeless friends. Because of support from faithful parnters like YOU, we were able to bless many of them with tube socks, skull-caps and new underwear. Some of our volunteers also brought a few coats and hoodies. It was cold outside, but we had four large trays of hot lasagna for them, provided by a team of our volunteers from Oak Hill Baptist in Griffin, Ga. We preached, several responded to the message, and one lady we have been ministering to for years testified that Jesus Christ has completely changed her life! She told me, "Pastor Joel,I've been listening to you out here all this time, and I finally got it!" She used to practically beg us for money every week to support her habit. We would sometimes give her $2-$3, but we would always pray for her deliverance and healing. She had suffered with severe pain throughout her body for years. Tuesday night, she testified that she was pain free, delivered, and didn't need anything! To God be the glory!!!

Toinght (Thursday, Nov. 15th), we have our monthly Broken Pieces outreach at the "Making A Way" transitional housing facility in Atlanta's West End. A team of volunteers from Abundant Life Assembly of God in Jackson, Ga. will be with us, and will supply the food, lead us all in worship and share testimonies. We expect a good crowd. Afterwards, we will take the leftover food to the regular location on Whitehall Street, and feed and minister to our homeless friends there. We expect to be out till around midnight tonight.

Tomorrow afternoon, we have an outreach in Athens, Georgia. It is being organized by one of our volunteers who lives there. We plan to equip the saints there for front-lines, open-air and one-on-one minstry as well as power evangelism and healing the sick in the name of Jesus Christ. We will be taking the big cross out on the street with us, as it always helps us in drawing a crowd (the cross is 10 ft. tall and 5 ft. across at the cross-beam ).

As I write this post, our ministry van is still in the repair shop. Please agree with us in prayer for a newer van so that we can continue to reach out here in the inner-city. We are also beliveing God for a ministry trailer to help us transport food, blankets, clothes, tables, chairs and other items we use regularly for outreach.

Please agree with us in prayer that lost souls will be convicted of sin and born from above, that the backslidden will experience godly sorrow and return to their first-love, that the sick and afflicted will receive healing and deliverance, and the saints will be filled with the Spirit of God and equipped for service, in Jesus name, amen!

We love and appreciate you all!

"We Like to Move It, Move It!"

To God be the glory! We finally got everything moved out of our apartment in Locust Grove and up here to Covington at "The Loft". We actually turned in our apartment keys on Sunday, the 28th, which was also the final day of our outreach in Atlanta. In the middle of all this activity, our ministry van, which has almost 250,000 miles on it broke down for the third time. We were able to use it during the outreach this past weekend, but the transmission was slipping pretty severely the whole time. We are trusting God to supply us with a newer, better van soon. He is faithful, and has already begun to lay this need on the heart of many of those of you who love us and believe in what we do here in the ATL. We are not worried at all. God has this, amen?!

The outreach this past weekend was wonderful! We had people here from South Dakota, Charlotte, and different parts of Atlanta staying with us during the outreach. We also had others who met with us in downtown Atlanta as we hit the streets to minister. Several people surrendered their lives to the Lord Jesus during the outreach, and there were people who received physical healing. Also, the 13 year old daughter of one of the ladies who came from Charlotte received salvation and was filled with the Holy Spirit!

We took time to equip those who came in the areas of ministering God's healing power to the sick and afflicted on the street, intercessory prayer for the lost, and how to win souls right out on the streets. We also engaged in open-air preaching during the outreach, and saw people surrender to Jesus Christ as a result.

We had two different people who serenaded us with gospel songs during the outreach, and a homeless couple actually ministered prophetically to two of our volunteers who came. "...God has chosen the foolish things of this world to confound the wise...that no flesh should glory in His presence."

One of the men who came down from South Dakota knew about our ministry here because he had received the baptism in the Holy Spirit as the result of watching a video I recorded and posted on GodTube several years ago called "Power From On High". (There have been people from all over the world who have received the baptism in the Holy Spirit as the reult of watching this same video. It cannot be viewed from a smartphone; only from a computer). He brought two of his friends with him who had also received the baptism in the Holy Spirit. The wives of these three men stayed together while their husbands were here for the outreach. Two of these women had already received the baptism in the Holy spirit, and while they were together, they prayer for the other one and she also received the baptism in the Holy Spirit!
We got to talk to all of them via Skype video, and they were very happy and excited!

We will have about twenty UGA students staying here in the big loft from January through March. Agree with us in prayer that God will give us divine appointments to minister to them, and that many of them will have their eyes opened, and will be turned from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God.

We want to schedule a large outreach sometime in April. This will give us the opportunity to equip the Saints for the work of the ministry, through miracles of healing, and through signs and wonders done in the mighty name of our Lord Jesus. Send me a message if you want to come or if you want to bring a team.

"Freely you have received; FREELY give"

GOOD-NEWS!!! God has raised up supporters to help with the expenses for Broken Pieces Outreach!

With the direction of the Holy Spirit, we are led to offer the weekend ministry outreach training at NO COST!

We are thankful to the Father for our supporters who are making it possible for many students to be trained, equipped and taken to the streets for hands-on, front-lines evangelism and healing ministry. Having been thus equipped, many students will then able to take the fire back to their own cities, towns and neighborhoods.

There is still room for more students for the outreach this month, Sept. 14th - 16th.

SPREAD THE WORD!!

Transitional Housing Outreach

In addition to the Tuesday night Broken Pieces Outreach we do every week in the open-air on Whitehall Street, and the Sunday outreaches in and around Woodruff Park, BPOM has begun a new monthly outreach at a transitional housing facility in the West End area of Atlanta called "Making A Way Housing". We had our first outreach there last week, and will be going there the last Thursday night of every month.

A team of volunteers from Abundant Life Assembly of God in Jackson, led by Josh and Alicia Gentle are partnering with us for this monthly outreach, and are preparing the meals as we serve the people there.

This past Thursday night, we had about 25-30 people show up from the facility. We fed them a spaghetti dinner, and just got to know them for about the first hour and a half. Then, we had a dear brother, Mark Gibson, share his testimony with everyone. Many of those present were visably moved, and it softened many hearts.

I then stood and preached a short message on being delivered from life controlling addictions through absolute surrender to Jesus Christ, and through faith in Him. When I gave the altar-call several men and women came forward, with every head up and every eye opened, to commit themselves to Jesus Christ, as Lord and Savior!

We also saw two people healed by the power of God, in the name of Jesus Christ!

There was so much food left over, we all decided to go to a large parking lot behind Garnett Station in Atlanta and offer a spaghetti dinner to the homeless who sleep there. We were able to feed and minister to about forty of them.

At the end of the night, souls were saved, bodies were healed and lives were forever changed. WE LOVE THIS STUFF!!!
