Lincoln Village Ministry started as a small seed, an act of obedience in 1992; the planting of one-acre of land to feed the poor. Over 10 years, that one-acre grew to 40 acres…from the feeding of a few to the feeding of many. Then in 2002, God imparted a new vision, “Go beyond the field to the streets; meet my people where they are…in their time of need.” So began a journey of amazement, the unfolding of the kingdom right before our eyes. That tiny seed grew to include education, counseling, medical services, sports programs, housing, bible study, and finally a church.
The blessings came to the served and especially to those who served. Every day God reveals himself “able to do far more abundantly beyond all that we ask or think, according to the power that works within us.” [Ephesians 3:20]
The history and work of Lincoln Village Ministry is a message of hope; hope for the needy – both servant and recipient. It is within the kingdom work where you come to know God, see God, and to feel his provision. It is here where you can rest in your weakness and take comfort in the fact that it is God, in all His glory, who provides for every need.
“ …and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. The LORD will guide you always; He will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.”
Isaiah 58:10-13
