Outreach Ministries

Christ the King focuses on programs that feed the hungry, help the sick, combat racism, provide shelter and assistance to those in need and provide comfort to students, recovering addicts, senior citizens and military personnel.  We do this because God has poured out great love for us in Jesus. 

We partner with other organizations to do some of this work:

• Family Promise of Western Waukesha County – homeless prevention program & services for homeless families. 
• Mt. Meru Coffee Project – direct Fair Trade non-profit organization
• Outreach for Hope – a ministry of the Greater Milwaukee Synod that helps provide resources to inner-city and struggling congregations in our synod.   We also regularly support their annual fundraising bike ride in September.
• Reformation Lutheran – a Milwaukee inner-city congregation. We provide financial support and partner with them through fellowship, leadership development, racism awareness training, and more.
• Serenity Inn – a drug and alcohol rehabilitation house for men in Milwaukee. Monthly, we prepare meals and enjoy a time of fellowship with men at the inn. 
• STTLC (Stop Trafficking Together in Lake Country) – has a mission “To abolish human trafficking through prevention, collaboration, support, and advocacy.” 

Every month, CTK volunteers prepare and serve a meal for the twelve residents recovering from addiction and their innkeeper. On April 25th, we served breakfast foods for their dinner menu.  The men LOVED this because they rarely get a hot breakfast!  

The confirmation students were invited to participate and Izzy, with the help of her mother (Julie Kreblin) joined our team right away.  They brought pancakes, applesauce and lots of bacon (which is a favorite). We also served baked oatmeal, egg bake, bagels with cream cheese and OJ.  Lynn Waedekin made her famous brownies as a dessert!  

Pastor Jackie was able to attend and everyone participated in the prayer and question for the evening. Rolando asked, "If you could change one thing about yourself or the world, what would that be?"  The answers were phenomenal! The men wanted to rid the world of Racism, Bigotry, Hatred, Judgemental Attitudes, Hunger, Disease and Prejudice. Izzy and her mom wanted to eradicate abuse for children and animals! The group wanted the world to have easy access to mental health care, to improve the distribution of wealth and for more people to understand that food addiction is a real thing. They asked for the strength to forgive themselves and to see the image of God in one another. To lighten the mood, Tyrone, who is bald, asked if he could have his hair back!  

Wonderful insights and personal conversations occurred throughout the visit.  The men are always expounding with gratitude for the meal and conversations. We are very grateful to Izzy for her willingness to serve in this ministry.  

Remember, CTK does this every month on the 4th Tuesday and the 5th Monday....All are welcome to participate in whatever way that is comfortable for you.
