Today we arrived at tomorrow’s WOW site, the Woodbridge
Community Youth center
and packed 1000 bags of groceries to give away and bless
our WOW attendees. What a joy!

We then ate lunch and took a tour of the city and the
devastation from abandonment to some degree as a result of the failure of the economy here in
Detroit. It was said to us that the city was
once populated by 2.3 Million people. It
is now been reduced to just ~700,000 people – that is smaller than the city of Charlotte. More than 30 schools have closed and more
than 4500 homes have been torn down and returned to farm land. We witnessed the despair that is plaguing the
city form Center city to the outskirts.
We all then separated into teams and distributed more “Tickets
to Salvation” flyers for the WOW event tomorrow. To see the eyes light up with some men, women
and children at a homeless shelter was an incredible experience and has
confirmed the mission for us tomorrow.
Please be in prayer as tomorrow's Wow event starts at 2 pm and runs
through 6pm. There will be folks there
that are coming from utter despair. Pray
that we are able to truly Love them to Jesus and change their lives forever.
