WHAT IS “I CARED ENOUGH”?

“I Cared Enough” is the largest, most comprehensive Thanksgiving Urban-Gospel-Worship-Banquet and Service outreach to the poor and needy that I have personally known or experienced in any city during my ministry tenure.” John Haines, Pastor of Worship, Briarwood Presbyterian Church.

It is an annual ministry of our own Briarwood Worship staff member, Daniel Cason, who is the founder of Daniel Cason Ministries.

This event takes place on the Tuesday before Thanksgiving: Tuesday, November 25, 2025 - Bill Harris Arena.

Thousands upon thousands come every year. In previous years, they have lined the streets! 500 elderly will be bussed in from nursing homes. All who attend will be served a sit-down Thanksgiving feast; they will be led in magnificent worship, and they will hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached in power all day. In addition, they will receive a bag of groceries, clothing, medical assistance, and even haircuts!

This year, we are praying to feed 10,000 people and that hundreds will respond to the Gospel.
