OUTREACH and MISSIONS

1. Missions – West Africa

We rejoice for solid growth of a new group of

believers in the village of K where whole

families come to know Him! We pray that these

new believers can be effectively discipled and

that God will provide a pastor for them. We

pray that their joy and excitement about Jesus

will cause them to share Him with other

villagers and their families.

2. The Persecuted Church – Worldwide

The persecution of Christians has become a

world-wide pandemic, about which Jesus had

warned. We pray for these brothers and sisters!

3. Israel - We pray for Israel and peace for

Jerusalem - that they will see the True Messiah,

Jesus.

WE PRAISE GOD THAT:

He is our Healer and He is touching those who

are ill or need comfort –

Joe-Jo Carpenter, Eva Cianchetta, Kathy Ford,

Jackie Malecki, Nell Younger. Also in recent

months there have been several who have lost

loved ones, so we lift them up as well.

We welcome our

Guests

Thank you for deciding to worship with us today. We

hope you will sense God’s presence and the love of

His family here. In order to get acquainted, please

it in the offering plate or give it to an usher. We look

forward to hearing from you.
