Days 5 and 6: FHL Week 2009

July 25, 2009 Merlin Gonzales

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uM5N52gILIM]It seems like the days go by so fast during FHL Week and yet it feels like God stretches each minute of the day so that we have all we need to get the work done.  Dozens of projects and services were performed by hundreds of volunteers in Central Indiana.

  • Light Construction at residential homes, playground clean up and bottle water giveaway at apartment complex were among the many projects in the Urban area
  • Visiting Nursing and Retirement Home outreaches by the Greenwood and Nora-Castleton areas
  • Gardening in Avon, IN by the  West side area and by the Multi-Cultural ministry of FHL
  • Continued effort of community restoration of the Noblesvilles area (Riverwood Community) and the Northwest area (Elizaville)
  • At least 20 individuals  have come to salvation in the Lord to date
There are dozens of untold stories of unconditional love that I have not yet heard.  There are people that are part of those untold stories of unconditional love I have not had the opportunity to visit yet. Please send your stories pictures and video coverage to FHL, 8383 Craig St. Ste 335 Indianapolis, IN or email at [email protected]
Here are links to check out some of the projects and services:
Of Special Note: Below is the mid-week video that was put together by Jm Ackert, another volunteer that I had the privilege to work with.
There are several projects and services scheduled today, Saturday, July 25th, from Johnson County to Hamilton County. I may have missed some events today, but below are some of them:
  • Community Cookout with live music at Metro Baptist Center 952 N. Pennsylvania, noon to 4p (Urban area)
  • Single Mom Oil Change (West side area)
  • Elizaville Town dedication (Northwest area)
  • Fishers Community worship at Holland Park, Fishers, 5:30pm (Nora/Castleton area)
The rain came during the first day of FHL Week and while I am writing this, rain is pouring down again. It seems like a symbolism of God’s outpouring of His blessings in our communities. Yes, God had and have been scattering His resources and His love everywhere. You and I have the privilege to join God in distributing His blessings where ever we go…bringing His Presence and Glory anywhere, anytime.
FHL Week  is not just a week event but a start of continued flow of God’s grace and love in our neighborhoods.
God Bless,
Merlin

Monday the 20th was an exciting day! I had the opportunity to join the Nora-Castleton & Urban area gathering:

* The worship and fellowship was incredible at E91st.
* The Prayer coach was parked at 10th/Rural and 5 people accepted the Lord as their Lord and savior.
* More than 500 cold drinks and dozens of brand new t-shirts were given away.
* A ramp on the East side of town was started by the SAW Ministry
* A group of 70+ youth served the inner city
* Several projects were started at Elizaville
* A group of youth from Michigan through the partnership with Work Camp (Weeks of Hope) helped the West side area.
* The Noblesville area had a great start at the Riverwood community
* Some Carmel-Westfield local missionaries helped out at the Northwest area.

It was a day full of blessing and favor. The volunteers distributed God’s blessings in Central Indiana.

We are just starting the FHL Week and many relationships have been formed.
