And So We Begin

In Our Plans on February 25, 2010 at 6:37 pm

Jonah Reuben and his wife Robyn are planning on opening a new Christian Coffee House located in downtown Fremont, Nebraska. The coffee house, called The Real Rock Cafe’ will be a local outreach ministry of Christian Community Fellowship Church in Fremont and will be dedicated to the well being of the people in the community.

The Real Rock Cafe’ will be a collection of artists, musicians, and writers with the common goal of using their gifts and talents to minister to those in the community. They envision it to be a place where those who have been wounded physically and spiritually can receive healing for their broken souls.

Besides having free concerts in a family friendly environment,we will also be planning Movie Nights, where we will present different films that will encourage discussion groups afterward.  There are some in the community who don’t feel comfortable in a traditional church setting, so we are also planning weekly Bible studies for them. The Real Rock Cafe’ will also have a small food pantry and clothing closet available for those struggling financially in the community. Although the coffee house ministry will be an outreach of Christian Community Fellowship Church, Jonah and Robyn would like to encourage other ministries as well as businesses in the community to be involved.  With more community involvement we can make a real difference in the life of a mother, a father, a young adult, or a child.

How the Real Rock Cafe’ can help at risk youth in the community

The Real Rock Cafe’ will give young people a safe place to call their own. Caring, dedicated adults will be there to listen to them and help them navigate the stresses, changes and choices that come with adolescence. Building relationships with these responsible adults and with other young people from different backgrounds will help give preteens and teens the inner strength to avoid destructive behavior. Young people have more fun and learn more when they can take the lead in planning and directing their own programs and the Real Rock Cafe’ will provide this opportunity. The Real Rock Cafe’ will have programs targeted specifically to at-risk youth as well as others in the community.

We are excited about the opportunities and experiences that lie ahead. I hope you see the value in what we will accomplish. If you can support us in a financial way, we would be very grateful. Most importantly, we also need your prayer support. Prayer is the fuel that will allow us to be successful as we follow God’s leading in this ministry to Fremont. Without prayer, nothing will happen. If you would like to be part of this ministry through your financial support, please send a check to:  Christian Community Fellowship 1640 W. Military Ave Fremont, Ne. 68025 and write “Coffee House Ministry” on the memo line. All contributions are tax deductible.
