AUGUST 14 - 16, 2025: JUGGALO GATHERING OUTREACH IN OHIO
Each year in Ohio hundreds of people gather in Ohio for a week long music festival called a “Juggalo Gathering.” There is a lot of drug and alcohol use that week but for more than 10 years, Joe Hamblen and “Jesus Loves Juggalos” have setup tents all week to be a light and reach people at these gatherings. It’s been our honor to serve with them several times. Each year we sit down with over 250 people during the course of the week, to hear their story and share the Gospel message of God’s love and truth with them. This year Rhoda is going alone to meet with the team there because I have bad ankle sprain and can’t be on my feet all week. She’s so excited and she does such an amazing job sharing God’s love with all types of people. Thanks for keeping her and the team in your prayers!
