Leaving the 99 to find the one: Local Kingman church visits Las Vegas homeless
KINGMAN — The Kingman Kingdom of God (KOG) Church travels 100 miles weekly to tend to North Las Vegas’s homeless population. On Friday, November 15, the Kingman KOG church welcomed their youth group to join the event for the first time. “I love that almost all of my youth came. It shows their spirit for service,” admits Tim McCoy, youth group leader for the KOG church. Although the middle and high school-aged children were informed but a day before the event, only two youth group members could not join.
The Kingman KOG church is invited into the Las Vegas Restoration and Recovering Center weekly to set up tables.
