Alternatively, you can have them shipped directly to Building 229. You can also give money online at oneneednow.com, and we...

We’re excited to share what your students have been learning in our Monday and Wednesday night Bible study sessions. This semester, we focused on reading the Word and, more importantly, putting it into action. Last night, we concluded by sharing stories from our mission trip to Los Angeles last week, where we mirrored Jesus and His disciples’ missionary journeys. We emphasized seeing and serving the unseen, just as Jesus did. This ties into His command to “go and make disciples of...

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all those who prayed for and encouraged us during our first mission trip to Los Angeles last week. This was our 30th mission trip in 19 years of ministry. We are grateful for the God-given opportunity to be the hands and feet of Jesus and to serve alongside the staff and volunteers at Serve LA. They have an incredible heart and vision for “seeing the unseen,” a motto they frequently use. We loved hearing them say to the guests we served,...

We love Sunday morning relational outreach! Would you like to join us?

Today, I was outside the rescue mission and met a man named Ron. Originally from South Carolina, Ron had moved to San Francisco in the 60s because he believed he would be more accepted there. We had an engaging conversation for almost an hour about his adventures around the world. Ron had traveled extensively and had a wealth of unique life experiences. Although he didn’t delve into specifics, he mentioned that he had once been wealthy but made some poor choices that led him to struggle...

We’re immensely grateful to everyone who contributed to the phenomenal success of our end-of-semester celebration last month! A special shoutout to our San Francisco mission team, who inspired us with their heartfelt stories of compassion and inclusivity. It was amazing to hear how our mission team moved from hesitating to eagerly engaging with people they normally wouldn’t meet here at home. Some even prayed with a stranger for the first time! These experiences teach us the importance...
