(Baptist Press)Wrecked by rioting and unrest following the shooting of Jacob Blake by police, the city of Kenosha is in desperate need of rebuilding, said Rich Villarreal, discipleship and teaching pastor of Redeemer Parkside church, located near downtown Kenosha.
Villarreal said members and leaders of Redeemer Parkside are working to engage and rebuild the community in both practical and spiritual ways.
“There’s a big financial need now,” Villarreal said. “There’s a lot of people downtown whose livelihoods were wrapped up in those businesses [affected by the riots], and so I’ve been encouraging for our people to find one of these GoFundMes and support these local businesses and help build them up.”
