Ministry Updates
West Virginia Update
West Virginia Missions team is back from an amazing week in Webster Springs, West Virginia.
God has continued to open doors for meaningful ministry throughout the week. One especially touching story is about a man named Bob, who has lived in a bus for years. He shared how grateful he is to soon have a place to call home, saying he is looking forward to not having to "fight off the snakes and rats anymore." Moments like these are powerful reminders of how God is at work, providing hope and meeting both physical and spiritual needs.
The children's camps were an incredible success, welcoming approximately 90 campers—the largest attendance in the ministry's history. It was a joy to see so many young lives impacted through Bible lessons, worship, games, and the love of Christ.
The team's community picnic was another wonderful opportunity to serve, providing a meal for approximately 275–300 people while building relationships and sharing God's love with families throughout the town.
The outreach team also spent time ministering at the local assisted living home, bringing joy to residents through fellowship, conversation, and a lively game of bingo. They also visited the local hospital, offering encouragement, prayer, and the hope of Christ to patients and their families. We are thankful for the many opportunities God has provided to be His hands and feet in the community and appreciate your continued prayers as the team faithfully serves.
Thank you to everyone who prayed and supported this team. God's love and faithfulness is so evident in Webster Springs!
