Missions in Manchester, NH

 

Ministry in Manchester.

A brief look into a week of missions in Manchester was the opportunity to serve alongside incredibly-fierce, God-loving people who heavily are bringing Kingdom to the streets of Manchester. Our team would separate into groups to do different ministries daily: some would be serving the homeless at a shelter called, 1269; while others would be surfing with the youth; and then, our primary ministry was Roca-kidz. Jen and AJ (our ministry-hosts) started this ministry in Manchester to truly show the love of the Father to kids and to get them off the streets. We would start our mornings at Roca-kidz, loving on the kids, having fun with them, and sharing a brief message leading to the Gospel of Christ. Jen shared with us that ‘Roca’ is ‘Rock‘ in Spanish; this ministry truly is founded upon the Rock of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Our afternoons would consist of anything from evangelizing at parks, to passing out church flyers in neighborhoods, praying over strangers, assembling bags of essentials for homeless, scrubbing baby bottles for the crisis pregnancy center, and ATL- asking the Lord to lead us. We spent our nights debriefing and sharing stories from the day to testify of our Lord’s goodness!

Our Good Lord moving in Manchester.

Looking at Manchester from the scopes of our own understanding, there is much brokenness, much addiction, and much need. However, after spending a week in this city, it was so evident of the Lord at work. These are the words the Father brought to my mind for Manchester: restoration, redemption, revival. He is restoring, redeeming, and bringing forth revival. I continue to pray this over the city and ask that you would, as well. It seems so inadequate to try to stream together words to explain the encounters and divine appointments within this week to you. It is just as trying to explain our Father’s Love; it is indescribable. The Lord is pursing the people of Manchester, and it was an incredible blessing to be a part of it. Jesus, we continue to cry out for Your Presence over the streets and people of Manchester. Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
