Faith West<\/h3>\n

“This is small but significant. For the first time ever we had an hour where all of the study rooms at Faith West were being used by groups of students.\u00a0 This shows that Faith West is starting to be used, and we are accomplishing our mission.”\u00a0 – Josh Greiner, Pastor of Faith West Community Ministries<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Vision of Hope<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cJust a few days ago one of our interns wrote a blog on the Vision of Hope website giving her testimony. She wrote about God using difficult times in her life to bring her closer to Him, and also about her experience as an intern. A young woman read this blog, and God used it to motivate her to apply to be a resident in our program! It’s amazing how God can use a simple blog post to get someone’s attention and motivate them to seek biblical change!\u201d\u00a0 – Bethany Spence, VOH Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cOn two separate occasions I\u2019ve met with a parent concerning ongoing discipline issues with her child.\u00a0 At her \u2018wits end\u2019 at preschool and at home, and with tears in her eyes, she told me I gave her \u2018HOPE.\u2019\u00a0 She now understands \u2018Hope\u2019 comes from Jesus Christ and has started attending church locally.\u00a0 – Janet Carney, Faith Christian Preschool West Director<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis past Saturday at youth soccer, I had an individual express interest in starting to attend our church because of the adventure camp and youth soccer ministries.\u00a0 Because of several unique family dynamics represented in this situation, they have been somewhat reserved in the past about being involved in a church. We were able to talk for 5 or so minutes about all of the different ministry opportunities that would be a blessing to this family, and by the end of our chat this individual was visibly encouraged and excited about starting to attend.\u00a0 Talk about a victory and a blessing.\u00a0 This conversation helped remind me exactly why our church has programs like a summer child care, or a fall soccer program, and many, many others \u2013 to glorify God by winning people to Jesus Christ and equipping them to be more faithful disciples.\u201d\u00a0 – Dave Esgar, Sports Ministries Intern<\/em><\/p>\n

Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.\u00a01 Corinthians 15:57<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
