God has been stirring up the hearts of people in New Britain this summer in a quest for PURPOSE!


PURPOSE is a burden and a vision birthed in the heart of Pastor Rha-Sheen Brown of Right Now Ministries for the teens and young adults of the city. Like the name of his church, the time for the vision is Right Now! It is an invitation from heaven to escape the life of the street and the shadowy purposelessness that has swallowed so many lives in recent years. When Pastor Rha-Sheen shares this vision the pulse of heaven can be heard and felt through his words. It has captured the imagination and involvement of a number of churches in and around the city of New Britain.



The dates for this outreach are Friday, July 29 and Saturday, July 30.



Friday night is a Festival of Hope held at the band shell in Walnut Hill Park that begins at 7:00 PM. Musical guests include The Mike Smith Band to lead in worship, Junior Fountain & God's Generation and Janeen's Diary. The festival will also feature a "Words of Hope" tent as gifted folks will be sharing prophetic/encouraging words of destiny to any who desire such a word. And Pastor Rha-Sheen will bring a message of hope in his unique style and dynamic presentation to challenge the youth who are there.



Saturday features a March of Hope/Prayer Walk that also begins at the Walnut Hill band shell, convening at 10:00 AM. Several points in the immediate downtown area will be visited and prayers offered to break the chains of despair and release hope upon the city. Pastor Rha-Sheen has had a vision of 1,000 marchers, all wearing white T-shirts to symbolize a break with darkness and hopelessness.



I have been part of the planning effort for PURPOSE, along with several of our intercessors and youth leaders. We plan to have an information table in the cafe the next couple Sundays to promote this outreach. Also, you can call the PURPOSE hot line at 860-817-7710 or go to: http://www.purposenewbritain.com/ for more information.


I purpose to be part of PURPOSE--I hope you will join in!
