Hello from Fresno, CA. We began the year with a continued desire to reach the lost.
In January we had a wonderful opportunity to outreach and participate in a mini carnival in Modesto, CA. One of the brothers volunteered to dress up as a clown and make balloon animals. This station was a hit and the children were overjoyed with the clown. This was a powerful outreach. There was a high attendance of children.
Many of the children, if not all were refuges from Afghanistan. It’s amazing to see that God’s word has no boundaries.
One of our heart’s desires is for our pastor to continue to travel to other nations. We are excited to announce that Pastor Joe will be traveling to China for revival. rnival outreach a hit with kids What a great opportunity God has given us.
Our Ground Zero is growing! In January and February, we had two children graduate from Children’s Church and go into Ground Zero. These children have been attending church since they were toddlers, thanks to their parents’ faithfulness. It has been a blessing to see these children grow in the will of God and to develop a relationship with Him.
Last year we had one teenager attend the South Texas Believer’s Boot Camp. God did a tremendous work in this young man’s life. Due to the growth in Ground Zero more teenagers will attend this year. Three of them are siblings.
Currently, the church is helping the teenagers raise money for bootcamp by selling Jamba Juice cards and having car washes. We are seeing favor in this arena. A family from the Austin, Texas 7 church has opened their home for all four teenagers. Can’t wait to see what God has in store for these young lives.
We are coming to the end of our Bible study season and are looking forward to the warmer weather. We are excited to resume our Friday night concerts at a famous taco stand in Fresno and to proclaim the word of God at our weekly Street Meetings.
Once again, we would like to take the opportunity to thank our mother church in San Antonio for all their prayers. Please continue to pray for us as we pray for you.
