February 2023: Ministry Snapshot

Every February, Valentine’s Day reminds us of the importance of celebrating those we love. But, as believers, we acknowledge that every month and every day is a time to be thankful for the love of God, and the incredible gift He has given us in His Son, Jesus! Therefore, we love because He first loved us! (1 John 4:19).
 
Our prayer as we serve, equip, and evangelize this year, is that we would—above all—carry with us the love of Christ, in all we do and say. That His love would compel us. That His love would transform and transcend cultural barriers. That His love would rule and reign here on earth, and in our hearts, just as it does in Heaven!
 

We want to share some praises and a prayer request with you:

 
Praise Report
 

We are praising the Lord for our fruitful time in Central Minnesota. It could not have gone better! We recorded multiple promo pieces (radio and video), spoke in two local churches, and held several affinity meetings:

  • A Steering Committee Kick-Off Dinner
  • A Leaders Brunch
  • Community Leaders Meeting
  • A Prayer and Praise Event where Nic Gonzales (from the group Salvador) and his wife Jaci Velasquez led our worship time. They did a phenomenal job, and we were so blessed and honored to have them with us.
 
The Spirit of God is at work in Central Minnesota! There is a rising excitement and anticipation for August 11&12. And we are encouraged by the stories of impact we are already hearing. A local Minnesotan said, at the end of one of our meetings together: “Wow! [Before this Festival] we had no idea of the tremendous needs right here in our own city. August can’t come soon enough!”
 
Prayer Request
 
Bayron and Gerardo from our Spanish world team will be in Oregon at the end of this month meeting with local Spanish pastors, as another step in building relationships for Celebrate Central Oregon this July 15. Please pray for favor and unity!
