10 Ways to Pray for Barack Obama
Lee Grady, Editor of Charisma Magazine, recently suggested ten ways to pray for President-Elect Barack Obama. You may find these suggestions helpful: 1. Pray for Obama’s protection.

Let’s cancel every assassin’s bullet in the name of Jesus. May civility triumph over bigotry. 2. Cover his wife and daughters in prayer. It is…

Are Short Missions Trips Worthwhile?
Have you ever wondered how worthwhile short term missions trips are? They can cost large amounts of time, money, energy and can be very challenging to our personal comfort-levels!

While in Kenya Mark will…

Life Chain Reminder
Good morning everyone! So few in our day will be a voice for the voiceless—and there are none so voiceless as unborn children. Our church has a long history of speaking up for the unborn child and for tangibly helping mothers and families in crisis pregnancies. In the last year we have begun to support CareNet.

Tres Cruses Building
A long held vision of planting a Foursquare Church in Tres Cruses, a barrio in the Philippines where a number of our church members were born, was realized in 2007.

Pastor Gil has officially been appointed by the local Foursquare Church. Our church has partnered…
