Members Participate in Global Outreach Day
Global Outreach Day Testimony from Windsor Christian Fellowship
Global Outreach Day Testimony from Windsor Christian Fellowship
Pastor Rick Ciaramitaro promoted Global Outreach Day to over 161 churches in the Open Bible Faith Fellowship. One of his members, Jimmy, shares a testimony of how he led a friend to the Lord during the event. Jimmy's testimony of freedom from alcoholism ministered to his friend.

Foursquare Church's participation was primarily in Brazil and Church of God of Prophecy promoted G.O.D. 2019 at its General Assembly in Cleveland, TN. Assemblies of God U.S.A. plans to participate in G.O.D. 2019 as well according to General Superintendent Doug Clay.

Dr. Wayman Ming, Jr., General Bishop of the Pentecostal Church of God, said their denomination participated. "We did participate this year, but our participation included more communication of the Global Outreach Day than measurables. We used social media to get the information out but did not have a follow-up mechanism in place for results," Bishop Ming said in an email. "On a positive note, we are looking to be more proactive in that area next year."

Bishop Ming added, "To provide a better context for you, we provide short-term mission's trips throughout the year to several nations and also a more focused time of outreach is during the months of November and December in the U.S. During that time, we do inner-city outreach and specialized trips to Appalachia and Indian reservations. This next year, we are also hoping to expand our emphasis with a national outreach week to several inner cities in the U.S. We also have a very active disaster relief program with mobile trucks and trailers in the different regions of the country."

Ministry Moment: Apart But Together, How to Stay ConnectedMinistryMomentSantagate
Franklin Santagate, Vice President of Global Strategic Alliances, PureFlix
Family bonds are formed and strengthened in many ways. If you think back to your childhood, you probably remember certain things that were part of your family experience. Though there might be some special highlights, we often find ourselves recalling the routines that brought a sense of stability to our lives. It could be the importance of the family dinner at the same time each evening (if you had four brothers like me, not much was left if you were late). Or the time your parent(s) walked in the door from work every day. You might also recall those Saturday chores or the Sunday church service. Whatever your family's rituals, those repetitive patterns have probably influenced your own parenting priorities.  Read more
