Welcoming
Fishers of Men
(Worship Team)
Our missionaries Joe & Judi Portale have
been leading Summer Mission Trips into Paris,
France for many years and last Fall extended an open
invitation to our whole church family to prayerfully
ask the Lord if they were to join them.
A small team (6 adults, 2 teens and 1 toddler)
from Mokuaikaua, who have been fundraising for
many months will be joining the Portales in a few
weeks. Please keep them in your prayers as they help
bring God’s love to the lost. They will be hard at
work serving in a variety of different ministries. One
being the open air meeting where the gospel will be
share through many different forms. Preaching,
drama, traditional dance, mime etc. , just to name a
few.
This experience will provide a wonderful op-
portunity to pray for someone, listen to their life
story, comfort the broken hearted and offer Jesus as a
solution for their life.
Their schedule will also consist of devotional
& worship time, teaching, meetings, testimonies,
sharing and small group prayer. They will also work
with children, individual contacts, the homeless, etc.
What a chance to minister to others! We are also
excited about what God is going to do in their lives
and in other people's lives through this ministry!
