Souled Out Ministries is a Youth Church in the Metro Chicago area, where we have over 72 area High Schools represented. We meet on Saturday nights at eight o’clock, and there is an average of 350-400 youth/young adults that come together to form our community of believers. We also have an “adult” church—which is targeted for parents of the youth, and the youth themselves. I guess we kind of did things backwards…we started the youth church in ‘94, and the ‘adult’ church in ‘02! The Sunday congregation is called, ‘Heart & Soul Church’ (HSC).

My wife, Michelle, and I started a discipleship community within the ministry called, Souled Out Master’s Commission (SOMC). We started last year with 13 students, and this year God has blessed us with 25 committed students who have lain down their lives for our Creator God and His Son, Jesus! We have a ministry in Jerusalem, eretz Yisrael, where we have a summer camps for the believeing youth in the Land. We also have a ministry in Decora, IA, and we are going to Patovah, Italy in two weeks to meet with some life-long friends to pioneer a sister community there. In December 1-10th, we are going to Haiti to do the same. God has just blessed us with a new building, as we are bursting at the seams on Saturday nights! My senior Pastor, Ed Basler & his wife Cathi, and the associate Pastor, Joe Manahan are three of the most self-less and real people that I have ever met, and it is an absolute honor to work with them in building the Kingdom of God!

Not sure if you were looking for such a lengthy answer, but I could go into our statement of faith, essentials and non-essentials; what we teach at SOMC, et al…

I noticed that you’re in my tomorrow…in that your date is posting Nov 3rd…I’m assuming that you aren’t in the States? What is it that you “do” for a living?
