Through Preventing Sex Trafficking

This month we continued our partnership with EveryOne Free, a sex trafficking ministry in Pomona.  Joseph and Shawna prepared a training time for Azusa Pacific Students on how to present the school trafficking curriculum EveryOne Free has created.  We are training volunteers to help us present this curriculum at assemblies in the 13 local middle schools  and within the classrooms of the High Schools within Pomona.  We hope to have 5-10 volunteers help us present within the schools through drama skits, videos, interactive games and a presentation.  Please pray for unity for us as we come together and prepare these presentations.  Please also pray for our “trial run” at Purpose Church Youth group – so we can make adjustments with any feedback we receive from the students there.

Reaching the City…

Churches Coming Together on our Knees

This was the first quarterly worship and prayer night we were a part of with our partnership of the churches within Claremont!  LOVE CLAREMONT is a group of pastors and ministries from within Claremont that have come together to pray for the city of Claremont and serve the city with the love of Jesus. Here is the website we have up: Love Claremont

This past month these 6 churches united together to pray and worship with one another.  It was a beautiful sight to see people of various backgrounds, ages, and denominations pray for and with one another on behalf of the city and our nation.  Please pray for continued unity among the churches, now that not only the leaders and pastors are praying together, but now the church congregations are praying together as well.  

Family Update!

Daniel and Jessica had a wonderful opportunity to be in an Annie Performance this past month!  Jessica was an orphan and Daniel played the dog catcher and policeman.  It was a fun experience for them both. Luke is finishing up his JV season of basketball at Glendora High School and continues to love the game.  We are continuing to wait on an affidavit from India for our adoption.  We are expected to receive it this week and t hen we wait for our court date.  Please pray with us that the process would continue
to move smoothly and would move quickly!  We are hoping to travel within April-June.

Thank you for continue to partner with us through prayers and finances and encouragement as we reach the city through these various avenues!  Please continue to pray that many people would continue to come to know the Lord Jesus!
