Church host
to inner-city block party

NEWARK, New Jersey—Having prayed and fasted for direction in planning an inner-city block party Aug. 4, members of the 24-7 Community Church (the Newark WCG congregation), introduced themselves to the surrounding diverse community where it conducts church services.

They went in teams handing out and posting flyers about the event. They introduced themselves to their neighbors, and some requested prayers.

At the block party they spread the gospel of Jesus Christ through prayer and music. Games and toys were available. By the end of the day, 65 people had registered. Thirty of them were unchurched.

"We are praying that God will guide and direct us through and by the Holy Spirit to develop real relationships with those in the community, especially those who are unchurched," said Pastor Frank Howard.
