“God’s purpose, I believe, is to constantly move people into our world so that the gospel is shared with them,” Pastor Brent says.

“I led our pastoral team in prayer, and we just asked the Lord to do what we could not do. We couldn’t formulate something to bring everybody in, but we wanted the Lord to begin by His Spirit to move people… as a congregation, we began to pray, then, that God would allow us to become an example of the Kingdom of Heaven, what it will be like in Heaven. To let a little picture of it be seen here. And we began to pray that. I talked about it a lot in sermons. We saw it all the way through Scripture.”

In this video, Pastor Brent shares how the transformational power of God’s Word and prayer helped his congregation reach out to the growing number of immigrants and refugees in their neighborhood in Metro Detroit.
