Romans 10:14-15
How then will they call on him in whom they have not
believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom
they have never heard?
After many years of working in
the mobile home community of
Baker & Glover, we purchased a
mobile home, thanks to a
generous donation from a faithful
supporter.
Jonathan and Rosie Rosario,
who have served with us for
many years, are living in the
Mission House, representing
Christ and our ministry.
A community of nearly 700
residents, mostly immigrants
including hundreds of children
and young people. Our desire is
to break the cycle of poverty,
oppression and sin patterns
through the preaching and
teaching of the gospel of grace.
More and more children
continue to hear and enjoy the
good news of God!s love. Their
joy is truly contagious. Greater
number of our teens are staying
in school, participating in sports
and after last years biggest
number going to college, it has
opened the door of hope to
inspire the younger generation.
Gangs generally leave the
neighborhoods we serve, or at
least tend to leave us and our
youth alone, and to this day we
can only explain it by faith.
