Many of the children of Kensington live in desperate conditions, where Jesus becomes the only answer to their situations. Many come from broken homes, live in drug infested and crime ridden neighborhoods and do not experience love. Many have experienced physical, sexual and emotional abuse arising from poverty and neglect.

Jesus Christ left his throne in Heaven to come down in human form to bring hope to all souls languishing in spiritual poverty. In the midst of such darkness and hopelessness, the Gospel brings light and hope. Jesus Christ is the lover of our souls and will restore the children of Kensington to a relationship with their Father in Heaven.

Please pray…

For Kensington Community: The power of the Gospel can break the bonds of darkness of moral sin, poverty and crime. Pray that God will do a special work in the lives of the children who grow up in such hard circumstances
For the Workers: Pastor Frank Vega is director of Philadelphia Inner City Missions. Pray for his health and for wisdom in the midst of spiritual battle and for supernatural strength to persevere. Pray also for the workers God has called from our church and elsewhere who minister in Kensington year-round.
For Inner City Missions: An Inner City Missions team from GCC will be serving with Pastor Frank Vega from May 31-June 7. Please pray for God to provide and empower the team. Pray that God will also fill their hearts with God’s sacrificial love for the children of Kensington.
