PRAYER ROOM during LENT
This year for Lent, we are encouraging a slowed down spirituality, with intentional time in quietness and prayer. We are offering a 40-Day Prayer Room that provides this still and sacred space. The rooms also offer interactive prayer stations to walk through individually or together as home groups or families. It is self-paced. The room will be open:
- Monday-Thursday from 10am-4pm
- Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings 7-9pm
- Saturdays 8-11am
- Sundays following the morning worship service
On weekdays, enter through the church office door. For evenings and Saturdays, enter through the single door on the west side of the building by the fence. Any additional questions or requests for another time, please contact Judy Duncan. |

INTERNATIONAL WORKER FOCUS

International Worker Focus
Let's lift up Stephen & Louise Anderson serving with YWAM in the UK and Asia
Stephen and Louise’s ministry is in reaching the least-evangelized people groups in the world with the love of Christ. They do this by helping plant culturally-sensitive house church movements among Middle Eastern immigrants living in the United Kingdom and in South Asia.
Their ministry is known as Disciple-Making-Movements, and the goal is to use easily-reproducible methods that empower new believers to begin house fellowships among their own family, friends, and neighbors. Stephen and Louise serve as international training consultants helping YWAM and teams from several agencies to be more effective in this style of ministry.
Louise’s latest responsibility is facilitating a Video Series Project that presents the message of Jesus in a culturally relevant way to a Hindu audience. Stephen’s latest encouragement is how eight new Muslim background believers have recently joined their Christian Discipleship Group – a specific answer to prayer!
Please pray for the Anderson family to boldly represent Jesus in their actions and words, that they may be conduits of God’s love to those around them, and that God would receive glory through their lives.

Seeing
John 9:1-13
Pastor Mitch Kim
When we assume that everything should be comfortable, we are surprised by suffering. And, surprised by suffering, we want to blame someone for that suffering. When the disciples meet a man blind from birth, they want to blame his sickness on someone’s sin. This explanation is simplistic. In John 9, Jesus shows that suffering is not an opportunity to blame others but to see God’s works as Jesus reverses the curse and sends us out to witness.
