Redlands, California

Greetings from Redlands, Calif. This past July conference marked a milestone for the Redlands congregation. We have launched our first grand baby church with Jesse and Raedaun Villareal, out of Perris, Calif. into E. Riverside. Dan and Perry Montijo leave that work, which they pioneered six years ago, to pioneer their second work into Grand Terrace, Calif. We anxiously await the revival about to come. Praise God!
Recent revivals with Pastor Kevin Foley and Pastor Mark Aulson saw many miracles and decisions for Christ. Two notable miracles were two women with extreme back pain instantly healed. Pastor Aulson challenged the saints to give liberally and as they did many reports came back of the miracles God performed in the area of finances, pay raises and job promotions.
Our yearly Pioneer rally was held in April, several church from near and far joined together to hear challenging sermons from our leaders. There were souls saved nightly and men were challenged to be all God has called them to be. Hearts were definitely turned toward the harvest field.
Speaking of the harvest field, this summer has truly proven to be a time of great harvest.
The saints in Redlands are relentlessly faithful to labor; out of town, personal and local outreaches are powerful tools to see souls saved.
Our weekly in-town outreaches consists of; Saturday mornings, Thursday night market nights, as well as individual men taking the challenge for local neighborhood outreaches.
As we converge onto the streets of our city for Thursday night market night, God is faithful to give us souls. People are brought to decisions through one-onone evangelism. We see between 10-20 souls saved each night. This atmosphere is brought right into our Saturday morning outreaches, as we give our testimonies and bring people to decisions, God faithfully saves souls.
Many young men have risen to the challenge of holding their own neighborhood outreaches. They will set up a movie, or have a BBQ and create a platform for the gospel to be presented. There have been a multitude of souls saved, people healed and people have locked into the church through these outreaches.
Finally, for the Redlands congregation, out of town outreach is high on the priority list. This summer we participated in the California Conquest, Oceanside Crusade, and with other cities that called for teams. These outreaches prove to be fruitful time and time again, with anywhere from 40 to 70 souls saved at each one.
It is truly an honor to be laboring for God.
