National Portland, Maine, is a very old, historic and beautiful town. The people there do not have a Bible Belt foundation. Most people are open to spiritual conversations, just not open to the idea that Jesus is the only way. They feel that they have progressed or moved on from the religion of their grandparents to something better. Most church buildings are either Catholic, other non-evangelical groups or not actually churches anymore. Ben and Jessica Thornton planted the church in Maine. They have a core group of young people who have moved from the South to work with them. The team is working to build relationships with neighbors, co-workers and through community groups. They plan events like Friendsgiving, Christmas celebrations and Egg Hunts to reach people. When teams like ours come they are able to help with narrative mapping, prayer walking, helping to host events and community projects. You can help by praying. Pray that a Christian community can be established, that people will find strength and hope in Christ. Pray for encouragement for Ben, Jessica and the core group serving there. You can help by going! Plan now to go in 2019.
International Lottie Moon Goal: $25,000 Because of your gift IMB missionaries can take the gospel to unreached peoples around the world. Every dollar you give makes a difference, because 100% of the money collected goes to the work of reaching every nation. Christmas Card Drop Off Drop your cards off in Commons Area, Small Groups Office, near the bottom of the slide. Your Christmas cards will be delivered in house. Use the money saved to give to the Christmas missions offering.
WMU will not meet in December, but will resume
