PRAISE POINTS
This summer we had an amazing time serving with DJ in Salem. We enjoyed camping out at Salem 1st FMC and partnering with "Church at the Park." Our team participated in various service projects at multiple sites. It was truly a blessing to connect with people and serve alongside them.
Our pantry continues to be a blessing to our community. We are thankful for the opportunity to provide food and aid to those in need, helping to meet a vital spiritual and physical need in our neighborhood.

This weekend we hosted a network of house church planters. Leaders and co-laborers traveled from Idaho, Nevada, California, South Carolina, Utah, and Texas. Together we prayed, trained, and strategized to reach the lost in our states. Our focus is on all 13 states in the West, recognizing that approximately 70 million people are far from God. It has been inspiring to gather leaders committed to fulfill the Great Commission together..
