Christians For Syracuse
Monthly Luncheon - March 11
John Watkins of Rev 7
"It was an honor and a privilege to serve at the Christians for Syracuse Luncheon.
Sharing the story of the 23 partner parachurch ministries - working side by side to bear one another’s burdens while serving communities across the North, South, East, and West of Onondaga County and the city of Syracuse - is one of the great joys of my life.
While many churches often see 20% of the people doing 80% of the work, Rev7 has the distinct privilege of partnering with ministries where 100% of the people are giving their all to the work God has called them to do.
God’s people, engaged in their communities, are truly beautiful to behold.
Thank you, Christians for Syracuse, for the opportunity to share the Rev7 story." John Watkins of Rev7 Ministries

Mission Syracuse
Friday Night Bible Study
"Another Friday night Bible study at Mission Syracuse, and another new person gave his heart to Jesus. Number 65… and counting!
The two guys in the first picture were both saved after wandering into our store. Chris, almost two years ago, and now on his way to becoming a pastor. And Ethan (29) who got saved tonight. Praise the Lord!!!
Three weeks ago, Jonah (24) got saved here. He came back tonight. He’s been reading the gospel of John.
Two weeks ago, three young youth leaders visiting from Quebec heard the worship and were drawn in. We got to pray over one another. (pictured) What a blessing!
And tonight… it was Ethan’s turn. Another divine appointment.
When I left, my son Davy was still chatting with him and introducing him to other young people in our Young Adult Coalition for connecting, discipleship, and hopefully getting him plugged in to one of our partner local churches where they too can help him with his new life in Christ.
Ethan and Jonah both promised to be back next Friday. Come join us and love on them.
To the many of you who pray and support this incredible evangelistic opportunity, thank you. This is your fruit!"

Mega Bubble Man Productions
"Let me introduce to you Mega Bubble Man Productions. We would be grateful if you would bring our Bubble Ministry to the attention of your organizational meeting. If you've been praying for a way to reach your community, a way to expand your Sunday School attendance or a VBS Program ... Mega Bubble Man could be it!
Jim Livi, Mega Bubble Man, easily captivates children with the fascination of his colorful life-size bubbles. Children are acquainted with the amazing world of "Bubblopolis!" where "Bubblopolis Citizens" teach biblical principles in an entertaining and exciting format. It's like a soap bubble puppet show, but better! Jim uses bigger and bigger bubble wands to present the gospel. See pictures below. Even teenagers get caught up in the fun. Mega Bubble Man has ministered across denominations reaching entire families." Mega Bubble Man Productions
Birthday parties, school assemblies, library events, daycares, faith functions, festivals and even colleges creating unforgettable fun for families throughout the Syracuse area.

Kacy's Kits
Kacy Brink: "The kits are thoughtfully packed with food, water, toiletries, clothing items, and small tokens of hope - all placed in a clear, gallon-sized Ziploc bag. They’re designed to be easy to grab and hand out through a car window when you see someone in need, or to serve as a simple, natural way to stop, engage, and pray with people on the streets. My vision is to begin scheduling several types of events:
1. Church & Ministry Partnership Tables
I’d like to offer churches and ministries the opportunity to host a table at Christian networking events where people can purchase pre-assembled kits for $5 each or donate funds and supplies in person.
2. Kit Assembly Events
I’ll be scheduling hands-on assembly gatherings where people can come together, serve side by side, and help pack the kits.
3. Street & Outreach Distributions
I’ll also be planning outings where we take the kits directly to the streets or partner with other ministries during their scheduled outreach events to distribute them."
