SUMMER INTERNSHIPS!

Connecting church plants with college students!  This year we have been partnering with college campuses within Los Angeles and the church plants that we currently work with to begin a summer internship program! Our desire is to help churches reach the communities around them with the Gospel and to do this they need people who know how to share their faith and how to disciple others. Our heart is also for these college students to grow and learn how to reach beyond the college campuses into the communities around them—so that when they graduate they will be involved in the local church and be leaders sharing their faith and discipling others in their communities. 

“While 69% say they were attending at age 17, that fell to 58% at age 18 and 40% at age 19. Once they reach their 20s, around 1 in 3 say they are attending church regularly.” (Lifeway Research)

Joseph has been sharing at various Cru colleges via zoom about this opportunity for the summer.  He recently spoke on the Image of God and invited students to join this summer internship program.  Please pray for this new internship.  That students would desire to serve this summer, grow in their leadership and learn how to reach the communities around them through the church.  Pray that it would be a blessing to the church plants as well, as they accept students who will help them reach their communities, provide outreaches to the neighborhoods, and disciple others.

EASTER!

Celebrating with Solid Rock Church Baptisms for Easter! It was encouraging to hear of the baptisms Solid Rock had this past Easter during their service.  We are continuing to partner with Solid Rock to build leaders and reach the communities of Pomona Valley with the gospel!

Family Update

Spring has begun!  We recently celebrated our 22nd year Anniversary! Friends graciously gave us the gift of their cabin near Lake Arrowhead and it was wonderful to get away and      reflect on all the Lord has done in our marriage these past 22 years.

We also celebrated Easter all together and it was wonderful being back in church this Easter and then enjoying family games and dinner at home. 

Please pray for the kids as they wrap up school.  Daniel finishes in about a week and everyone else the end of May/beginning of June.  Time does go by fast and we are traying to treasure these days and moments.  We will be celebrating Aleeya’s 5 year Forever Family Day this coming week—celebrating Gods goodness to our family. 

Thank you for your prayers, support and continual encouragement to us!
