RAVEN EAST COAST MINISTRY REPORT

We are excited! God has been opening doors for RAVEN East Coast over the past two weeks. We have some great times of ministry coming up. I met this past week with a local pastor in the York, PA area and we are excited about what the Lord is doing. Some dates to pray about.
August 26th:
I am meeting with this local pastor and the York city school system to discuss how we plan to use several of the local school facilities for outreach over the next year.
September 30th:
Outreach from 1PM to 7PM in York, PA in an area called "The Jungle." This area of South Western York has been plagued with drugs and gang activity for years, but recently it has escalated with several drug related murders.
October 14th:
Outreach in Westminster, MD (Labeled the "heroine capital" of the USA). An average of 5 teenage heroine overdoses a week occur in this area. A local organization has put together "Taking Our City Back." An effort at uniting the community against the drugs and dealers. RAVEN has been asked to have a presence at this function.
October 20 - 22nd: RAVEN Gathering in Amarillo, TX.
December 16th:
RAVEN is gearing up for our first annual "Christmas in York" outreach. In conjunction with "Eagle Christian Ministries," RAVEN will be supporting a facility this year that plans on serving 1200 meals to the local depressed neighborhood of South West York.
These are the major dates that we have just recently scheduled. I will be meeting later this week to schedule more events/outreaches.
Obviously, with all that God is trying to accomplish, we are going to need workers, supplies and prayers.
We are so excited at what God is doing and can't wait to see HIS glory shining in York, PA.
With HIS Love,
Pastor Sam
