The Waite Family on Mission
This Sunday, Ekklesia will welcome the Waite family who has joined our mission to South Kitsap. Five years ago Scott and Holly began praying about going on a mission with their family that would expose their children to a radical new lifestyle of dedication to Jesus. So, in 2016 the time seemed right. They sold their house in Huntsville, AL, bought a travel trailer, managed a way to keep their physical therapy business open and operational without them for one year and began a journey out west to work in Port Orchard, WA as missionaries for a year. 

On Sunday Ekklesia will have an opportunity to hear their personal story of faith and risk. We will gather at 10am for a Welcome Potluck Brunch. Everyone is encouraged to bring some type of breakfast food to share. Then following our meal Ekklesia will have a time of worship and hear Scott and Holly share their personal story of faith.

Thank you
Ministry is filled with opportunities. Lisa and I are grateful to have been given this ministry to the Port Orchard community as new people come into our lives to serve and love. We continue to be blessed with the knowledge that so many of you are praying for us. Thank you for your support.
