Una Noche Con Dios – A Night with God
In the beginning of October we had the opportunity to partner with a church in West Covina that was having an outreach to the community.
Joseph was part of the planning with Pastor Marco and it was exciting to see how the Lord moved through that evening.Joseph was part of a panel speaking about sex trafficking right here in Southern California and helping parents to know the signs of how to prevent trafficking from happening.
We were able to have a sex trafficking survivor we know come and share her story of her bravery, escaping from sex trafficking and how her life has been transformed by Jesus. She now devotes her life to helping other women escape from trafficking.
We rejoiced in the 5 people who put their faith in Christ that evening after hearing her testimony and Pastor Marco share the gospel! It was encouraging to see so many come to the event and also hear how Jesus is the God of Miracles!
Please pray for the upcoming Night With God events Joseph is helping Pastor Marco plan. Pray that many people from Covina and beyond would attend and we would see many more people come to know the Lord!

Reaching the World through Partnerships

The partnership Joseph is on the leadership team for (LA Reaching LA) is partnering with International Theological Seminary. Pastors from overseas come to this seminary to receive theological training. LA Reaching LA is working with Pastor Sati from Nigeria to help him learn more about addiction recovery after Nigerians come to Jesus. Drugs are killing his villages and he needs help to know how to help his people in this way. We have been taking him to a drug recovery ranch to learn how to implement this ministry back in Nigeria.
Pastor Bernard Lobe desires to start a seminary in Cameroon to train pastors working in church planting within Cameroon. As he learns in the seminary we are also working with him to help plant Cameroon churches here in Los Angeles and mentoring him in church planting strategies to carry on to his country of Cameroon when he returns.
One of the church planting strategies we are helping these pastors learn is how to use the Jesus Film. The Jesus Film is a ministry of Cru and shows the story of Jesus from the Gospel of Luke. This can be brought into villages and used as a tool to share the gospel. We will be giving a Jesus Film Backpack to Pastor Sati, Pastor Bernard and Pastor Davis to bring back to their countries. Please pray for these pastors. That their time in seminary and with us would prepare them well to carry the gospel to the countries of Nigeria, Cameroon and Kenya and the Lord would do amazing work in and through them!
