Greetings from Glendale, Arizona. God is always moving and we continue to relish the opportunities to step out and move with Him.
Our church is actively involved with continual outreaches to man and God in order to that the gospel goes forth.
Each Tuesday is prayer meeting, a chance to gather in cooperate prayer at the church. Faithful worshippers gather to get hold of God for kingdom purposes followed many nights with spontaneous outreaches and fellowship of the saints.
Wednesday is mid-week service when Pastor Rens always rejuvenates our spirits enabling all to face the week with renewed blessing and strength.
Thursday nights our Spanish translator Jamie Duarte holds service in Spanish. Many of this dedicated congregation are there for Wednesday and Sunday services as well. Jamie preaches fervently in Spanish and souls are refreshed and saved. Pray for this exciting ministry to grow and flourish here in Glendale.
Friday nights are always full of multiple Bible studies across the valley in families’ homes. Church goers, neighbors, and co-workers come together to seek God. In addition the youth also meet for fellowship and outreach on Fridays. These activities strengthen their faith, spirit, and minds for the things of God.
Saturday morning we meet for prayer and occasional breakfast fellowships. Pastor Rens has started a men’s discipleship class. Midmorning is outreach time and we have been blessed to both provide teams and be visited by outreach teams of both local and distant fellowship churches.
Saturday evening the activity really cranks up at our “Ground Zero” with either our local band or bands from throughout the valley or state. Our adult and teen drama teams put on effective skits that elicit both laughter or tears but always thoughts of the Cross.
We were recently blessed by the Globe church that brought the play “Heaven’s Gates or Hell’s fury.” We had over 200 in attendance and many were affected and came to Christ through the use of the play. Sunday’s all day for Christ! More and more I look forward with excitement to Sunday services. We have Sunday school for all ages 3 -103 and both young and old are challenged to grow and commit to prayer, outreach and the gospel.
We are seeing young men and women transition from the taught to the teachers through biblical discipleship. Pastor Rens gives no quarter as he wields the word of God. Our recent revival with Evangelist Stacey Dillard saw souls saved and added to the kingdom with many visitors attending multiple services. Pray that these precious souls lock in to the service of Christ.
Words alone cannot give justice to the palpable filling of Gods presence here in Glendale. We are on the cusp of breakthrough revival. Faithful saints desire to be in service of the kingdom. Please continue praying for us as we all continue in God’s will for our fellowship churches.
