September and October have proven to be exciting months for Faith\u2019s North End Ministries. God\u2019s blessing upon the Hartford Hub and Lincoln Neighborhood Park have continually exceeded our expectations! I shared in September\u2019s Church Family Night how this was the case, according to God\u2019s promise found in Ephesians chapter 3: \u201cNow to\u00a0him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think\u2026\u201d
\n\"2016-10-07-hartford-hub_9\"<\/a>Our church body responded by signing up to serve and coming down to the Hub with the desire to steward this great blessing with which we have been entrusted. We see members from Faith at the Hub every weeknight assisting in a wide gambit of capacities: building relationships, helping kids with homework, assisting and leading Bible studies, teaching kids\/adults how to sew, cook, clean, do various crafts, and many other valuable activities!<\/p>\n

To our surprise, Purdue University has taken a unique interest in the Hub as well, and as a result, we see students serving down here almost every night of the week (for homework help and simply getting to know the kids\/parents). There is even a Purdue engineering group (EPICS) that is seeking to add value to the Hub by considering winter activities and street closure options. God is using many unpredictable facets to show His faithfulness.<\/p>\n

Every night of the week, we have unique opportunities to speak truth into the hearts of the youth of the Lincoln neighborhood. These occasions have allowed a natural segue into the lives of many parents and adults of that area as well, and two important things have happened as a result. First, we had two kids accept Christ at Bible Study on Tuesday at the Hub: Admyer (12 year old girl) and Slater (6 year old boy)! Second, several adults and children from the area have chosen to come to Faith West with us for Sunday services and have been well received by our church body. This got us thinking \u2013 how else could we bless one another by integrating the youth of the Lincoln Neighborhood with Faith Church as a whole?<\/p>\n
