Hope Takes to the Streets of Prescott

Kicking things off, we brought a group of 60 youths to downtown Prescott. We gathered at the historic Yavapai County Courthouse where the community’s Christmas festivities take place.

Surrounded by lights, families, and holiday celebrations, our youth spread Christmas cheer by caroling, con- Prescott youths outreach during necting with people, and boldly street preaching. It was incredible to watch them step out in faith and share the love of Christ with strangers. By the end of the evening, we saw three people make decisions for Christ, making the night not only festive but adding to the kingdom.

In addition to our outreach downtown, we celebrated the Christmas season with a special musical production titled “Puppet Christmas Carol.” Over the course of two Saturday evenings, our church family came together to bring this creative and joy-filled performance to life. What made it even more special was the incredible teamwork behind it - with a cast and crew of more than 100 people serving

Cast of ‘A Puppet Christmas Carol’ i on stage, backstage, and behind the scenes.

From puppetry and music to set design and hospitality, every detail was prayerfully prepared to share the message of hope and redemption in a fun and memorable way. Both nights were filled with energy, laughter, and the true spirit of Christmas as friends, families, and guests from the community joined us. Most importantly, we were blessed to see God move in powerful ways, with 20 people making decisions for Christ. It was an exciting time that reminded us how creative ministry can open hearts to the Gosg Christmas pel. Not only have we seen God moving powerfully in Prescott, but in February we also had the opportunity to partner with our sister church in Glendale, pastored by Jeff Rens, for their very first Youth Rally. It was a blessing for our youth to come alongside their Fellowship and serve together in ministry.

Throughout the day, our team stepped out boldly in faith, engaging in one-on-one conversations, sharing the Gospel through personal evangelism and street preaching to the community. The entire day was centered on reaching people and pointing them to Jesus. It all culminated in an exciting evening concert that brought everyone together for worship and a clear presentation of the message of in Prescott salvation.

It was a privilege to watch our young people not just attend an event, but truly labor side-by-side with another church, serving, praying, and loving others with the heart of Christ. By the end of the rally, we saw 20 people give their lives to Jesus! It was a powerful reminder that when we unite in faith and step out in obedience, God faithfully works through His people to change lives.

We are also excited to share that we recently launched a brand-new young adults Bible study designed specifically for ages 18–25, called “Made for More.” This monthly gathering was created to give young adults a place to grow deeper in their faith, build meaningful friendships, and be encouraged in their walk with Christ. This is such an important and transitional season of their lives.

From the very first night, God exceeded our expectations. We had 29 young adults attend our kickoff meeting, filling the room with energy, a hunger for God’s Word, and a genuine desire for community. It was incredible to see so many young people come together to worship, study Scripture, and have honest conversations about life and faith. We believe this group is just the beginning of something special. Our prayer is that “Made for More” will continue to be a place where young adults discover their purpose, strengthen their foundation in Christ, and step boldly into all that God has called them to be. We are truly excited to see how God will move through this amazing group, in the months ahead, and the lasting impact He will make in their lives.

Please continue to pray for Prescott as we pray for you.
