Pastor Phil Jackson moved to Chicago from Kansas City to serve the youth ministry. Three decades later, he got to see his hometown team in Super Bowl LVIII.

CHICAGO (WLS) -- The Chicago Bears sent a local pastor and his wife on an all-expense-paid trip to Las Vegas to watch Super Bowl LVIII.

North Lawndale Firehouse Community Arts Center Founder and CEO Pastor Phil Jackson and his wife, Kim Jackson, enjoyed the experience with the six other lucky ticket recipients.

Jackson moved to Chicago from Kansas City to serve the youth ministry. For 34 years, he has served Chicago's youth.

In November, the Bears visited the Firehouse Community Arts Center to distribute food to the North Lawndale community for Thanksgiving.
