Saturday November 21st, 2015 was the 2nd annual MSP Fun Fest with Dunbar Kids and it marked the final event of the year. It was a very brisk wintry day, so attendance was lower than expected, but everyone who came out had a blast; from the the smallest child to the oldest adult. Saved, St Lien, and MiNiMe did a fantastic job performing on stage as DJ G kept the music blasting. Over 25 people showed up to volunteer and gave generously of their effort and time. Four people gave their life to Christ and several others were able to fill out a Hot Sheet for additional assistance.

Men Standing Positive would like to thank the follow organizations and individuals: Concept Remodels for the advertising sponsorship, the Rock Church in Soulard for the free clothing and Thanksgiving meal, DJ G with New Life Music, Blanks Bounce House, East St. Louis School District 189, Dunbar Elementary School, and Principle Coleman for the facility, gift baskets, and support. And last but not least, to everyone who came out- participant and volunteer, without everyone working as a team this event would not have been possible. The Men Standing Positive team can hardly to wait see what next year has in store for Dunbar Elementary and the kids! Be on the lookout for the highlight video coming soon, and read below for what some had to say about MSP Fun Fest 2015! Click Here to View the Photos!!

‘Til Next Year…See You on the Streets!

As an educator, I encourage my students to ‘pay it forward’. They had a chance to see words turn into action. The Fun Fest was just an inspirational sight to see. MiNiMe is awesome and I look forward to volunteering next year.

~S. Keeler, PLD Teacher

Fun Fest was awesome! I think it’s awesome that MSP finds a way to reach the community. One thing that they always do is feed people. Even if it’s just a bag of chips. It’s funny how food brings people together. Not only that, but the sound is always great. There just seems to be joy and peace in the atmosphere whenever MSP throws an event. You can’t say that about every ministry. I have done events all over the city and I’ve seen a lot of things. A ministry that is consistent will stand long. My hat goes off to MSP and what they do for the city. MSP Fun Fest was nothing different. It is what is to be expected from MSP! Any event full of Jesus, full of God, full of joy, full of love, full of peace, and smiles.

~ St. Lien, MSP Fun Fest Artist

This is by far my most favorite event of the school year. Not only does it allow me the opportunity to fellowship with members of the community, but MiNiMe is such an inspiration and motivation to the students. His ability to leave such a profound and long~lasting impression is truly something to be admired.

~C. Coleman, PLD Principal

Matthew 25:34-40 “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’

Matthew 25:21 “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master.’ ”

He can say it better than I. Great work for His Kingdom. Glad to be a part.

~G. Collins, The Rock Church in Soulard Volunteer

It was refreshing to see a young artist give back to the community. Everything was top notch and I can’t wait until next year.

~C. Johnson, PLD Parent

Leadership Starts Off In The Back // #IMPACTEASTSIDE 2015

Sunday March 22, 2015, the Living Word Church in Washington Park, Illinois celebrated its 7 year anniversary. Pastor Tommy Smith Jr, his wife, family, and congregation had spent the weekend reminiscing on the past years and looking forward to the good things to come. Sunday afternoon service marked the final celebration to end the extended anniversary weekend. Guest speaker, Mike ‘MiNiMe’ Wuebbles delivered a powerful and timely message titled, Leadership Starts Off in the Back. Drawing examples from the story of Joseph, MiNiMe explained that leadership doesn’t happen overnight, it’s a process filled with ups and downs as God prepares you for your destiny. When Joseph first had the dream, he wasn’t anywhere near ready to lead a nation and its people. However, after being in charge of a prison and Potiphar’s house, God developed within him the wisdom and skills necessary to fulfill his calling. Everyone in the congregation was able to take away a practical piece of insight from the message. Men Standing Positive looks forward to the continued partnership with the Living Word Church and Pastor Tommy to leave a lasting impact in the Washington Park community.

In addition to ministering from the pulpit, MiNiMe was also able to minister out on the street that afternoon. Shortly before the service began, one of the congregation members asked MiNiMe to walk across the street to talk to some people sitting out on their driveway. The two of them crossed the street and began conversing with the group. Because MiNiMe was all dressed up in a suit for church and even had on a mic, the men were intimidated, annoyed, and tried to start an argument. They assumed based on his church clothes that MiNiMe had come to argue with and condemn them. During street ministry it is vital that you relate to people on their level. The service was about to begin, so MiNiMe quickly stopped the conversation and promised the group he would return after the message. Immediately following the service, MiNiMe went back across the street. This time, the conversation went an entirely different direction. Two of the men ended up getting saved, joined the church, and signed up for assistance programs on the MSP Hot Sheet. Despite the rush and distraction, MiNiMe was able to minister to the group as God moved on their hearts.

‘Til Next Time… See YOU on the Streets!
