Welcome... from the RCLS

Welcome from the Pastor
an open letter from Senior Pastor Joseph McGrew Jr.

Greetings to our Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Oh! What a mighty God we serve. Teresa and I consider ourselves to be servants to the most high God and to others. We desire that God would receive all honor and all glory in everything we say and do. We have been members of River City Love Squad from the very beginning and we consider it a privilege and an honor to be given the opportunity to serve as leaders of this ministry for this appointed time. We are seeking God for His direction for River City Love Squad and we ask that you will keep us and this ministry in your prayers. We want to thank you for all that you do to support River City Love Squad and pray that you will continue to do so.

We believe that reaching the homeless and needy is the heartbeat of God. Scripture tells us in:
(Luke 4:18-19) The Spirit of the Lord is on me (us), because He has anointed me (us) to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me (us) to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.

(Isaiah 58:6-9) Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter, when you see the naked to clothe him, and not to turn away from you own flesh and blood? Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; and your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the Lord will answer, you will cry for help, and he will say, Here am I.

(Mark 16-20) Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed His word by the signs that accompanied it.

Please join us in prayer and fasting seeking the manifest presence of God's Glory on the streets of Louisville, Kentucky; so that as we minister the Word of God and disciple the homeless and needy; souls will be SAVED, HEALED, DELIVERED and lives will be changed forever for the Glory of God.

Thank you again for your prayers and support.
Pastor Joseph C. McGrew Jr.
