We just got back from Phoenix, and we are sunburnt, tired (the good kind), and inspired! ☀️
We had the opportunity to participate in the Ministry Over Business Tour, hosted by HOG MOB Ministries.
HOG MOB is made up of people with real, lived stories, many who have come out of addiction, incarceration, and hardship, and now use their lives to serve others in similar circumstances and share the hope of Jesus in a way that’s real, relatable, and accessible. It’s church outside the walls, which is exactly what we’re feeling called to be and bring to our neighbors.
Throughout the week, we stepped into neighborhoods across the city, and did our best to leave people and places better than we found them.
Outreach included:
•Cleaning up streets and alleyways
•Hosting “Pray 4 My Hood” events with free meals, music, car shows, and resources for hope, healing, and recovery
•Prison ministry
•Creating spaces where people could be invited, welcomed, and loved
One of the most impactful moments for us was a prayer walk along the canal, where many unhoused individuals are living. The brokenness and hopelessness of addiction, mental health struggles, and thousands of people without stable housing was overwhelming and heartbreaking.
We learned so much about faith in action, about meeting people in spaces that aren’t always reached, and about what it looks like to serve God and people with humility. We also learned about street outreach on a larger scale, and felt so encouraged and validated in what we’re hearing the Lord call us into with Neighbors. We’re excited to be bringing all of that back with us!
Thank you for rolling with us! We are so grateful for and humbled by the support and love of our community! 🤍🏠
By His grace and for His glory.
