Praying for Migrants and Government

2/3/2023

Migrants arrived in Chicagoland in buses similar to this; but transportation within the communities is scarce. Volunteer assistance with transport or housing through Elk Grove Village government community outreach.
In September 2022, the government of the State of Texas began sending migrants seeking asylum in the U.S. to northern cities, including Elk Grove Village, IL, where Kingdom Impact Theater Ministries is based. ​
Since then, KIT Ministries and the Elk Grove Interfaith Council have monitored progress assisting the original 85 migrants, and the hundreds of others in the Chicagoland area, in the process of being physically and spiritually safe and secure while legal matters are resolved. 

Five months later, many matters remained in flux between federal, state and local officials and the individuals awaiting answers. At the February 2023 Interfaith meeting, the Council  resolved there was one path to take to overcome the obstacles and repeated ball of confusion:  Intercessory prayer.  Thus, several pastors participating the council agreed to encourage individual congregations to intervene in prayer.

Here are eight specific items of prayer:

Cami Myers, an intern with Kingdom Impact Theater Ministries, has been compiling resources and recommendations for individuals managing mental health challenges and posting them in a series of online essays we call “A Collegian’s Guide to Mental Health.”

We outlined Cami's background and how these essays came to be in an earlier post, "College, Ministry & Stress."  Today, we provide access to the essays themselves and Biblical connections the KIT Ministries staff made while editing them.

Although the essays are not “Christian” in nature, reading them revealed parallels between the practical concepts and Bible basics. There are seven scriptures related to the contents of the four essays themselves, and three other principles that provide perspective on Cami’s spiritual health journey summarized in the four essays.

Cami Myers is part of Kingdom Impact Theater Ministries, the Next Generation, though she’s been with us awhile.

Maybe you've  seen her greeting people at shows at our hospitality table, or sitting in singing with the ladies’ worship ensemble, Chos3n.  She’s also behind the scenes (or out front) photographing our performances,  such as those she did for  “Freedom Song” promotions.

All of those activities she began as a high school intern. She’s now preparing for her senior year of college, studying psychology and creative writing, wondering how to use them  in the "adulting" world to come.

What's in a Name? A Lot!

(originally published June 3, 2013)

​
​A while back we expanded the name of our parent company from Kingdom Impact Theater to Kingdom Impact Theater Ministries.  Adding "ministries" expanded our presentation possibilities, yes; and also responsibilities.  Our work is not solely about performing.  It's about learning. Often the "students" are us. Here are five recent schoolings.
 
In May, Vikki was scheduled to present two shows and a workshop at Sandy Cove Ministries in Near East, Md., and present special music during a Service of Worship in Landover, Md.  The experience at one fed the other and led to sharing the teachings of one speaker to another flock miles away. Such is how the gospel is spread.
