3.1 Supports ICCM with diverse support...
ICCM is "Inner City Christian Ministries" and is located
in Chicago, IL, Minneapolis, MN, Miami, FL and New
York, NY.  The visit to the ICCM, in Chicago, IL on
02/01/2005, was a very inspirational event for me.  I
saw buses full of people arrive from the homeless
shelters and from the streets  to worship God in music,
prayer and a powerful message time.  Please keep
these special people in your thoughts and prayers and
also pray for the family of Chris & Monica DeLaurentis
 who serve the Lord daily at the ICCM.  
Chris DeLaurentis and Family
After many years of addiction, Chris and
Monica found the love of God and were
compelled to go to the streets with it.
They worked in homeless shelters while
attending Bible College. It was here that
they began to grasp a vision for how God
can meet the needs of hurting people by
providing a place
of refuge, fellowship and healing.

ICCM's "Chicago City Church"
Today, Chris and Monica face their greatest ministry
challenge while continuing to pastor in Minneapolis.
They are pioneering another urban church near the
largest low-income housing project in the city of
Chicago. In the midst of another huge renovation of
an old Catholic church complex where the ministry
will be located, they reach out on the streets, in the
shelters and in homes, leading people to Jesus Christ
and empowering men and women by the Word in
their Life Skills Training School.
The Messenger and Robert Williams at ICCM
I met these two passionate men of God at church one
Sunday.  So, I invited them to perform for the people
at the Chicago city church that night.  The lives of
these two men were in total disarray, A life filled with
struggles, drugs and alcohol.  For many years they led
a life filled with darkness and despair.  But, that life
came to a screeching halt when Jesus stepped into
their lives.  Praise God!

The Children of ICCM
Jerome began the evening with a special
prayer for the children.  And the event
ended with pizza, pop, cake and ice cream
for all who came to the service that night.  
We had a lot of fun...Amen!
The Messenger and Robert Williams Team
This little boy in the picture above was in just
about every photo that was taken that night.  He
was so cute wanting be in all the pictures!  LOL
The friends of the group were very helpful with all
the Lord's work at the church that evening.  
Thanks guys!  The group is planning a U.S.A.
concert tour this year and will be shooting a
music video in the near future.  They asked me to
be part of the video by acting as a Federal agent
arresting the Messenger.  Hey guys I'm in! Thanks!
