April 19, 2014 – Glenn Kaiser from Jesus People USA in Chicago, IL. AND Rex Carroll – Help to celebrate the 40th anniversary of The Overflowing Cup Total Life Center – Time to Reminisce and enjoy Cake, Fellowship and Music (Plus an Opportunity to bless the Cup financially). Rex Carroll is a guitarist and known for his work in the Christian metal band Whitecross. Rex Carroll is also the leader and guitarist of other bands including Fierce Heart, King James and The Rex Carroll Band. He also filled in and did all the guitar work on Eden's 1994 album Fan The Flame. In Whitecross, he is not only the lead guitarist, but is also the primary songwriter. With Whitecross, he has completed six world tours. In 1989 Whitecross was the first American rock band to perform in Guatemala City. Whitecross won two Dove Awards for "Metal Album of the Year" in 1990 and 1992. Glenn Kaiser (born January 21, 1953) is a Chicago-based Christian blues musician, singer-songwriter and pastor. Glenn first played for The Overflowing Cup Christian Coffeehouse in 1974, performed the wedding for Dave and Pat Fogderud and has been a friend of the ministry for many years. He was the leader of Resurrection Band, the REZ Band and is currently the leader of The Glenn Kaiser Band. In 1972 JPUSA began when a ragtag group of Christians wanted to change the world for Jesus. Now more than forty years later, they are still at it. What started as simply inviting folks in for a meal became a feeding program. What began as a phone call from a mother looking for housing eventually became a shelter, and now a complex of ministries dedicated to housing and resource services. Working together, ordinary people have been able to accomplish extraordinary things. In the 21st century community makes more sense than ever. By pooling resources, we use less resources. Those at JPUSA have heard a call from God to reach Chicago’s inner city and beyond with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Perhaps JPUSA’s most important benefit is helping each member grow and mature in the Christian faith through an intensive environment of Christian fellowship, pastoral care, biblical teaching, and practical work either through their tent-making businesses or through their various outreaches to the “least of these.” “ ‘For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me. . . Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ ” ― Matthew 25:35, 36, 45 Tell your friends NOT to miss this Special Night. Please consider bringing a free-will offering for The Overflowing Cup. If everyone gave $40, it would help us to keep on helping others. God has been faithful to keep us going for 40 years and He uses ordinary people. Thank you.
