Can't fix what folks don't want fixed-----A strong spirit: 'Save Our City' hosts health screenings, prayer sessions in Muskegon Heights

A strong spirit: 'Save Our City' hosts health screenings, prayer sessions in Muskegon Heights | MLive.com: "First Ladii joined forces with other religious leaders as part of an 11-day campaign called "Save Our City."
"A lot of people are ill and don't know that they are ill because they can't afford insurance," she said. "This way, they can find out if they need to go to a doctor right away."
The event attracted about a dozen people, who had the option of being screened for depression, HIV, AIDS, as well as get vision, diabetes, pulmonary function and blood pressure tests.
According to the First Ladii, God gave her the vision to hold the campaign, as well as the intent to return to Muskegon. The reaction has been anything but a surprise for the Atlanta resident.
"People have been happy about what we are doing," the First Ladii said. "When we first came, a guy came up and he wanted prayer. He said after we prayed for him, he felt the lift come off of him. That's what we are doing this for. We want to pray over people."
Some may not know how to get the help they need. We offer them God, we offer them Jesus Christ. -- Senior Pastor Johnnie L. Brown Jr.
Others within the community have begun to see the impact this 11-day campaign has had on willing participants."
