RECAP


Last Sunday Church of Our Savior was blessed to share in the baptism of Banks McAfee, presented by his parents, Quincy and Vanessa. It is always such a privilege to witness this blessed Sacrament, and all the more precious for a child.

Blessings, McAfees!

LAST WEEKEND

Our Trail Life Troop spent last weekend backpacking trails in Middleburg. The boys carried their own gear, swam in creeks, camped in the woods, and enjoyed great fellowship and the awesomeness of God's creation. What a way to end summer!

Mission Spotlight: 
OVERLAND MISSIONS


  • Ladies discipleship group meets twice weekly for Bible study and outreach — their boldness and knowledge of the Word continue to grow.

  • The students in the missions training program had a one-week class on “missionary medicine” — going to a village and helping with a birth, then later help with postpartum appointments.

  • Helping another mom escape abusive in-laws after her husband abandoned them, taking her to the clinic for a C-Section, getting her to a safe place and providing for her needs.

  • Working with a missionary who is translating the Bible into local tribal languages while in the hospital. His grandmother was so touched that she held daily Bible study in the pediatric ward! 

  • Teaching women coming out of prostitution! 33 graduated from the program and are now walking in freedom.

  • Revival week for missionaries and indigenous leaders (usually from southern Africa). 300+ people are hosted on the base!

  • Visited a nation in the middle East to equip leaders to respond to situations as well as their ministry to refugees. Some shared that if their families knew they were Believers, they would be killed.

  • Heading to NW Zambia for a medical outreach expedition.

  • Attended Chief Mukuni’s annual ceremony — thousands gathered to celebrate tribal history and culture. The Gospel is now powerfully preached where witchcraft once dominated.

Pray for:

  1. The women graduates as they travel back to their homes (where they were in prostitution). 
  2. Revival Week
  3. The Believers in the Middle East
  4. Safety and soft hearts for the medical mission.
  5. Chief Mukuni's ceremony
  6. The discipleship gorups and medical missions teams
  7. God’s love and truth to transform lives by the power of the Holy Spirit so that nations are changed!


Your donations help make it possible for us to do all of this ministry in the Name of Jesus — THANK YOU!!!
