Church Planting Update

It has been too long since I updated you on WDEFC planting! As you meet in your winter clusters, as you meet with your church boards and as you pray with your gathered congregation please keep the following projects and plants in mind. They need our prayers and financial support.

Recruiting and Assessment

Three planters have recently been assessed and are in process of moving towards planting. Please pray for Ed Grover (Eugene, OR), Andy Nelson (Sparks, NV) and Justin Jones (Sun Valley, NV).

Your prayers and financial support of the district have a huge impact on the success of these new churches and the 1000’s of lives they impact with the gospel.

We should all be encouraged by what God is doing in our district. Of course, there are many more lives in Northern California and Nevada needing to be reached! By partnering together we can do so much more effectively.

Blessed to be partnering with you,
