then no sacrifice can be too great
for me to make for Him."

Hi friends, brothers, & sisters!

On July 5th, thanks to God’s provision through your generosity & prayers, hundreds of people over the course of about 6 hours received the 1 Corinthians 1:18 message of the cross in the form of the Bible Gems book AND the baptism testimonies of Wynn & Cindy who were both new visitors to our church just months ago & are now being baptized & joining our church. 

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then here are 10,000 2 Thessalonians 3:1 prayer requests for the message of the cross to spread quickly through the hearts & minds of the people of the community in these 10 pictures & be glorified in this place now & until Jesus returns & beyond, just as it has in your hearts & minds, by God’s grace alone!

We added in a bonus prayer picture of the invitation flyer that was spread through the crowd on July 5th & is still be spread through our community, inviting children & their families to be blessed by the message of the cross in our partnership with CEF just over a week from now, so that’s another 1,000 prayer requests. 

Thank you! None of this would be happening without your support, evidence of God’s people praying & giving. If the Lord’s moving you to support this Gospel-spreading ministry, the link below will take you to where you can do that in any amount. Remember the widow in the opening verses of Luke 21? Sometimes we get gifts of $5 or $10. Let me tell you plainly: We understand God’s heart in rejoicing over those gifts as much as any other gift for 3 BIG reasons:

1) It means the message of the cross is being glorified in the heart of that $5 giver!

2) A little gift is a BIG deal in God’s eternal currency & Kingdom! Just one of those Bible Gems books costs $4.04 to print & ship here so that we can put it in someone’s hands here in spiritually dark New England. God can & DOES today with $4.04 what He has done with just 2 widow’s mites 2000 years ago.

3) To be SUPER transparent with a deep truth of our daily lives, it helps us feel like we’re not doing this work alone. There aren’t many Chrisitans here & so each touch of the message of the cross has become even more precious to us than it was before we launched as missionaries relying on others to do anything at all.
