Love Borough is an opportunity for the church to experience the book of Acts and to grow in hunger to live a lifestyle of intimacy and mission; to do what we were made to do – to know God and make Him known throughout the chosen borough for the year. We move this event around the five boroughs. Each year we seek the Lord where He wants us to go.
This year the Faith Assembly Church will be hosting the city-wide altar of worship and prayer in Queens. Prior to entering the building, a greeter will be at the door to check you in, inform you of outreach schedule and answer any questions.
Training for City Wide Outreach
Love New York training is an opportunity to grow in partnering with the Lord to invite people into the Kingdom of God and is required for anyone who is going to be participating in Love New York outreaches. The training begins with an extended worship experience followed by practical training on Spirit-led ministry as well as outlining how the Love New York outreaches and prayer room work.
Sign Up & Attend a Training
After you sign up for Love Queens Citywide Outreach you will get a link inviting you to a Love New York training. Evangelism Training will be held August 17th, August 24, September 21st and a shorter training at the launch on Wednesday , October 16th at 6PM at Faith Assembly Church. At the training, you will be given a list of outreaches that you can sign up for. We are strongly suggesting that everyone sign up for the launch event, 6 PM Wednesday, October 16th, 2024 and the final event on Saturday, October 19th and then choose other outreaches in between.
You will report to the info desk, and the front of house team will check you in. If you have not completed training prior to arrival, you will be able to watch it online after the launch outreach. You do not need to complete the training to participate in the event.
Event Briefing
After you have completed training you will get a Love New York wristband. If you are wearing a wristband you will no longer need to check in at the info desk.
After you have checked in you will report to the briefing room. There you will be given instructions by the outreach leader. After your briefing is complete you will partner up in teams of two. We want to intentionally partner those who are stronger messengers with those who don’t yet have confidence sharing their faith. Teams will pick up evangelism materials in the briefing room and then move to the prayer room.
Prayer Room
Teams will spend time in the prayer room (less depending on how far away your outreach location is) and connect to the heart of God. The prayer room will be staffed with live worship teams and prayer leaders engaged in two-hour sets around the clock. This year the prayer room at Faith Assembly Church 12013 101st Ave, South Richmond Hill, NY 11419, will be open Wednesday, October 16th 6 PM to Saturday, October 19th 2 PM.
After your time in the prayer room, your teams will move to the outreach location either in personal cars or in transportation provided by Love New York. Teams will do outreach for approximately two hours and then return to the Mission base to debrief.
We are asking everyone who is part of Love New York to pray about giving a free-will offering to support paying for the expenses of the outreach.
