A Summer of Ministry
Auburn City pastors Ofa Langi and Tommy Tamalea'a tried for weeks to find a source of food to share with their neighbors. The doors kept closing, until about a month ago when Auburn City secured their first batch of food to share and opened a partnership to offer free Covid-19 testing. The response of neighbors has been phenomenal!
"The Covid-testing had to shut down early this week because so many people showed up," says Langi. "We had cars wrapped around the block."
The food sharing also continues to be a miracle week after week. "I never know what food we will have to share in the next week," Langi says. "Yet God always provides so we keep stepping out in faith."
Washington Conference churches, schools, and ministries are beginning to safely reopen following four phases. We've rounded up the latest reopening information.
