Summer Missions: The Power of the Gospel

“For I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes…” Romans 1:16

The Power of the Gospel!

The power of God for salvation and the miracle of belief in Jesus is attained only by the grace of God. God has provided us with opportunities to do ministry this summer and we are grateful for each child who has come and heard about who Jesus is and what He has done for them. In July, we had 13 events and 169 children were reached and 26 believed in Jesus as their Lord and Savior. All glory and honor to the Lord!

Parlier Migrant Center, 29 children heard the good news of our Lord Jesus and

nine of them made professions of faith in Jesus as their Savior.

Lego Party at Serenity Women’s Shelter

Grace Dehaan and Faith Ruckman shared the good news using the Lego object lesson. Children are creative and love using Legos to build things. But we teach them that God is the MASTER builder! He made EVERYTHING from nothing, but we need supplies to build stuff.

Thank you, Ruth Diaz, Field Missionary, for leading this team.

3 Day Club at Oak Hills Church in Clovis

Aaron led a team for a 3 Day Club where 28 children were reached and two children made a decision to believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior during the first two days.

Praying to receive Jesus!

Ariana Pallota shared the Gospel with this little girl and led her in prayer to believe in Jesus. The joy of leading a child to Christ is one that lasts forever and I am so happy that Ariana got to experience this joy. She and her brother Dominick Pallota are serving faithfully this summer. What a beautiful thing when families can serve the Lord together!

Boys and Girls Club of West Fresno

On Friday, July 19, our team was busy at the Fresno Boys and Girls Club for a community outreach. Not even the hundred degrees could deter them from the mission to share Jesus because they want children to know who He is and what He has done for them. On this day, 35 children were reached and nine children made professions of faith in the Jesus as their Lord and Savior. Thank you Lord for drawing souls to Yourself.

Kids Love Birthdays!

A great object lesson “Two Birthdays” attracts all ages because we all enjoy celebrating birthdays.

Gary Lee helped this child understand what it means to have a physical and a spiritual birth. It was hard enough for Nicodemus to comprehend, but because he wanted to know this spiritual truth, Jesus took time to help him understand. It is the same way with children, they want to know who Jesus is and can believe in Him. Our volunteers write the date they believe in Jesus in a tract and encourage them to celebrate their spiritual birthday and to share with family and friends.

Praise God with us for:

  1. Our volunteers and their faithfulness to share Jesus with children this summer.
  2. The Panda Express fundraiser financial outcome of $551.53. Thank you to everyone who participate.
  3. Those who have donated toward sponsorship for The Good News Club Darryl Rogers Golf Tournament.
  4. The privilege and joy to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every child.

Pray with us for:

  1. This summer to continue to be a life time experience of sharing the Gospel for our young volunteers.
  2. The remaining summer ministry; 3 Day Club at Pomona Migrant Center, Fink White Park and Feeding Fresno outreaches.
  3. More golfers and sponsors as well as the gift card donations to help make this year’s golf tournament a success.
  4. Approvals of Good News Club facility requests in area school districts.
