5 (More) Days of Reach Week!
“But how can they call on him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?” – Romans 10:14 (NLT)
We are halfway through Reach Week 2024 and it has been an amazing start!
At our Kick-Off dinner last Saturday night, we heard powerful stories from Steve and Kathi Weemes about the spiritual needs and opportunities in Japan and throughout Asia.
Last Sunday morning, Brian Smith gave a passionate sermon where he shared a model of a healthy “Gospel Cycle” based on Romans 10:14. Watch Here
We then experienced some great relational time as a church with our Calvary missionaries with “Donuts with a Missionary” after the 9:00 am worship service and had over 16 LifeGroups host missionaries at the 11:00 am groups hour.
On Monday, our Calvary missionaries and pastoral staff headed up to the Salvation Army Camp in Malibu Canyon for a time of connection and encouragement. Here is a photo from yesterday:
