Stories of Hope Outreach
This year, we are planning to put together a booklet containing some of the powerful testimonies from our church. The world around us is in desperate need for hope. And we have experienced it through our relationship with Jesus Christ.
If you are interested in submitting a testimony for consideration, you can do so online or by picking up a questionnaire at the Connections Desk.
If you have a testimony of hope in the following areas, please submit it to the staff:
• Hope After Addiction
• Hope After Loss
• Hope After Abortion
• Hope After Divorce
• Hope After Abuse
• Hope After Medical Challenges
• Hope After Mental Health Challenges
We will gather testimonies, publish them in a book from our church and deliver them personally to our neighborhood.
Due to limited space, not all of the testimonies will be published.
Please keep this exciting opportunity to share the love of Christ with our city in prayer!

2024 Mission Trip to Guatemala
More than 60,000 people live in extreme poverty in the Guatemala city garbage dump community. The dump itself is huge, measuring more than 40 acres. The Guatemala city dump is one of the largest open air landfill in central America. At one time, kids worked in the dump to find food scraps or find stuff to sell to help their families. One of the biggest issues is over the last few years, the government has outlawed children under the age of 18 to work or scavenge in the dump. The parents were forced to send their children, no matter the age to work in the streets to fend for themselves.
During our time in Guatemala, our church team will be working with My Father’s Ministries doing children’s ministries, construction projects and evangelism. Our mission is to give hope where there seems to be no hope. You know Isaiah 68 shares with us, “I heard the Lord say, whom shall I send as a messenger to the people, who will go for us?” I say, “here I am, Lord send me.” This summer on July 6 thru the 13th you have an opportunity to join us as we take a team from MAG to Guatemala. We’ll be going to share the hope and the love of Jesus with the people in this country and we want you to be a part. A couple things to know if you’re interested in being part of the team, you can pick up a packet with all the information on the trip at our Connections Desk and we’ll be having one more follow up meeting on January 7 after service to go over any details or questions you may have for the trip. If you are interested in joining us, all deposits are due January 15 of $250. The total trip cost is $1,850 so keep that in mind and be praying. We believe if God has called you to this He will provide for it.
