For more information, please email Mariah at fountain@wewillgo.org! Spring Break Goals! I cannot express how amazing it was to watch Jesus move in so many hearts over Spring Break! I ve never seen so many join together to share Jesus as I did last week. We had teams from various local ministries, North Carolina, and Canada! If you ve ever heard about or visited We Will Go Ministries, you know that we consider it a privilege to share the Gospel of Jesus and to pray with our neighbors daily I m so thankful that so many volunteers and visitors decided to join us in that. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these. Mark 12:30-31 One day we had over 50 guys attend our afternoon gym time, and over 25 kids and teens, that s not counting the 60+ volunteers that were present! It s such an honor when Jesus sends people to our house. I love how Jesus loves, how He ministers, how He sees each and every person. I got to be apart of a life-changing week for so many! I watched neighbors and volunteers alike realize that Jesus s love was greater than any fear, any hurt, any circumstance. I watched Jesus love connect people that most likely would have never met before. Last week reminded me of one very important and special truth: we are called to be the body of Christ. I want to encourage YOU to step out in obedience to what the Lord is asking you to do. Because of the obedience of many, I was able to walk in what Jesus was calling me to do last week. I m so thankful! If you d ever like to be a part of what Jesus is doing at the Fountain, please join us by emailing visitus@wewillgo.org! For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ. 1 Corinthians 12:12 We will go ministries//806 N Farish street//jackson, ms

Visit Us! By: Ruth Alexander 'The week of Spring Break was coming up, one of my favorite weeks of the year! We averaged about 60 people per day during Spring Break! We had teams from churches, youth groups and individuals, coming to serve Jesus alongside us in Downtown, Jackson. It was a beautiful opportunity to see Jesus feed these amazing volunteers, as they served Him! My prayer was for multiplication of His presence throughout Jackson and that each person takes their focus off the world and on to Jesus, listening to His truth. This prayer all came from God talking to me about 'The feeding of the 5000. He taught me how to pray with what He was doing that week! Jesus then blessed me with a miracle to start the week. Each team met on March 11 th at church for our weekly time of worship, word and breaking bread together in the form of a meal at the end of the service. An amazing team that we know well brought the food, and wasn t quite aware how many people were going to be there! Panic started to arise in those who were hungry. There was very clearly not going to be enough food for everyone. Yet everyone prayed and the food was handed out. Jesus showed up and the food was multiplied! He reminded us once again, how there is always enough when it comes to God! He not only made sure there was enough to go around for that day, but we had two boxes of chicken left! If you would like to come and visit We Will Go, as a day or overnight visitor, please do email us at visitus@wewillgo.org! We would love to have you come and experience God, as you serve in His city of Jackson!' Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 1 Peter 4:8-9 WWG INTERNSHIP The harvest is great, but the workers are few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields.
