Dear Church Family,
Thank you doesn’t even begin to describe the amount of gratitude we have to each and every one of you. Every donation, prayer and word of encouragement has carried us through this last year and a half, which lead us to our daughter Padama and brought her home.
We will be forever grateful for your love and support. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Chad, Kari, Jackson, Hallie and Padama Presley
Honduras Mission Trip
Please continue to pray for the children and staff at the Good Shepherd Children’s Home and RICEBOWLS.
Also remember in prayer our mission team that will be going in June. What a blessing that we are still receiving donations for the trip.
Mission News! Please remember in prayer the North American Missions (Annie Armstrong). The theme this year is “United” based on Philippians 2:1-2 that says:
If then, there is any encouragement in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and mercy, make my joy complete by thinking the same way, having the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.
Please pray for all the many missionaries and ministries throughout the world. These special missionaries and those that help in these ministries give of their time and talents to help spread the gospel of Jesus Christ!
We will have our Love Offering for Missions in November 2023.
