In this episode, pastor Nic sits down with Bishop Stubbs to share the story of the fruitful cross-cultural church partnership between High Point Church and End Time Ministries International. They talk about how High Point Church purchased and renovated the Monona Oaks building, which End Time Ministries now uses for worship and community outreach. Bishop Stubbs candidly discusses the challenges of urban ministry—serving a congregation where 65% receive public assistance, lacking administrative support, and struggling with consistent attendance and giving. Despite these obstacles, End Time Ministries continues to baptize new believers, operate a food pantry serving 75 families weekly, and plans to open a daycare to both serve families and generate revenue. The partnership demonstrates how two churches with different cultural expressions but shared theological foundations can collaborate effectively, with High Point providing facility resources while End Time focuses on gospel ministry and community impact. Their relationship exemplifies how churches can overcome financial and cultural barriers to advance their shared mission of reaching people with the message of Christ.
