Progression of Spiritual Demographics

December 6, 2009 Merlin Gonzales FHL Mobile Food Pantry, Message

At least 3 people received Jesus as their Savior at the last FHL Mobile Food Pantry at Boys & Girls Club, Indianapolis. Just between the pantry & the Street Evangelism, we are averaging 2 salvations a week. At the same time, we are adding more disciples on a monthly basis through other FHL ministries.

I have sensed the collision of Light and darkness in the spiritual realm at the last Pantry. I asked the Lord what’s happening? A thought came to me…we are not the Savior, He is. We leave the judgment to God. Our job is to create an environment where love is overflowing to the extent that people get attracted to us. God is saying,”The harvest is plentiful and I am sending them to you.” The anointing is getting stronger and so is the opposition.

If we show the tangible unconditional love of Christ to the world, they can’t help but come to us. It is the manifest Presence of God that brings people to us. Romans 2:4b: “God’s kindness leads you toward repentance”

There will be more and more non-Christians coming to serve with us, through Kindness Days, Pantry, Farm, other Outreaches, etc. We need to be ready as the harvest is right in front of us. We also need to be alert that the enemy is opportunistic.

God has been showing us new ways to reach out and to bring the message. He had opened doors for us to minister to churches and to the world. There are many new things that He is doing in our ministry. It’s mind-boggling for me to see non-Christians literally get attracted to us in serving those in need. The stories in Jesus’ time is manifesting in our midst!

Living a lifestyle of unconditional love allows us to live in freedom and bring the Kingdom of God into the hearts of others! What a privilege to experience Heaven expanding in our communities.

Here is a Testimonials from one of the volunteers:

“Bertha and I got up in front this past Sunday and told the Church about the (FHL) food pantry and how awesome it was to be a part of it than I told them about the Citywide prayer and about FHL they are all excited and one of the ladies from our church spoke up and said that what she has a heart for and that she is manager of some apartments in Greenwood that houses 250 refugees and she wants to get something going there.” – Debra F.

God bless,

Merlin

FHL Week 2009 Recap

July 31, 2009 Merlin Gonzales FHL Week

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GyAw0sknlJg]Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ! What a privilege to work alongside all of you in these past few months. FHL Week 2009 was the largest impact we had in terms of number of salvations, people we touched, and projects completed and generated. The overall value of our projects and services in all categories saw significant improvement. It truly became a Year of Hope for many in Indianapolis and the hope within us became the tangible expression of God’s love to His people. Heaven came down and His Presence was evident in our communities.

Words cannot adequately express the miracles that happened (and are still happening) during of Faith, Hope and Love Week 2009. But here is a partial list below:

2 communities were transformed both spiritually & physically (Riverwood & Elizaville)
25 individuals were brought to salvation
Creative miracles were witnessed, such as:
- people who were in wheelchairs started to gain strength in their legs and started pushing their own wheelchair (or jumped)
- transformed individuals
Countless projects were generated for continuance after FHL Week 2009
Numerous new relationships were started
FHL reached out even farther to areas such as:
- Lebanon
- Avon
- North of Noblesville
More businesses provided resources
The Indianapolis Deputy Mayor preached the Gospel at the Circle in front of the general public

Thank you so much for allowing me to serve with you. As I mentioned in the past, FHL Week is just a beginning of the continued flow of God’s blessings to our communities. In the weeks to come, I would like to touch base with you to see FHL could serve with you or how you could join us in serving together.

I am sure that it is almost impossible for me to thank everyone personally so please extend my sincere gratitude. It’s been and will be my honor to work alongside with you again!

FHL Week 2010 is July 25-31, The Year of Love

Eph. 6:23-24, “Peace to the brothers (and sisters), and love with faith from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Grace to all who love our Lord Jesus Christ with an undying love.”

Faith Hope and Love Mother’s Day Celebration 2009

May 18, 2009 Merlin Gonzales Kindness Weekends

By Merlin Gonzales, President, Faith Hope and Love (FHL International, Inc.)

Faith Hope and Love (FHL) joined the Mother’s Day Celebration presented by La Voz de Indiana on Saturday, May 9th. The celebration included FHL Mob MomDayFace ile Food Pantry, which provided groceries to more than 1000 people. It was truly a collaborative pantry, including many volunteers from different cultures of the world, such as Hispanics, Asians and Europeans. The FHL Mobile Food Pantry is a monthly service that is held at different parts of the city to reach out those who cannot travel far and to encourage the active participation of local communities. The food pantry is joined by churches, businesses, government and education institutions in serving the least, the lost and the last. You are encouraged to serve with FHL by volunteering or by sponsoring families. Your contribution of $15 will feed a family of 5 for a day.

Earlier the same day, as part of the Mother’s Day celebration, Faith Hope and Love provided free oil changes at four Indianapolis locations: Post Road Christian Church on the east side, Chapel Rock Christian Church on the west, and Hubler Express Collision in the North and South locations. More than 100 single moms received free oil changes. Through this community outreach, many volunteers were thankful that their passion was used to serve others. FHL is now looking for volunteers who like to do routine maintenance and minor repair on vehicles. FHL is expanding its car ministry to 4 locations in Indianapolis.

In addition to food pantry and oil changes, the FHL Street Evangelism team shared the Gospel in the 10th Street/Rural MomDayLine area. As a result, an individual at a bus stop accepted the Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. The individuals involved in this team have been preaching the gospel in the local area for more than 2 years now.

Faith Hope and Love partnered with the Pacer Entertainment–Indiana Fever WNBA to provided indoor entertainment to the disadvantaged families and their friends. FHL is asking the community to sponsor children for the game at Conseco Fieldhouse on June 27th 7pm. A ticket is $14, which includes entrance to the game, vouchers for a free hotdog, a bag of chips, a drink and a t-shirt. Contact FHL at 317-578-3370 for information in sponsoring the disadvantaged.
