On November 16, Grace Community Church (Rev. Ira and Kari Towns’ home church) came together in prayer, asking the Lord to guide their leadership as DS beginning January 2026.

The elders, along with Rev. Julio and his wife, Yenory, prayed for God’s wisdom, patience, and love to shape their service.

Yenory prayed specifically for Kari to be a steady anchor for Ira, and for them to continue to support one another as they have always done.

Thank you.

Greetings Official Workers,

Please say a prayer for Jadon Trinkl, Rev. Mark & Nami Trinkl's 14 year old son.

Jadon will be having Heart Surgery in Houston, Texas on December 17th. This will be his second heart surgery and is intended to replace a conduit between his right ventricle and pulmonary artery. The last surgery was at 3 months old, and he has now outgrown the conduit. His whole family will be going with him to Houston to support him during this time.

Please keep Jadon and his family in your prayers. Pray for safe travels, Pray for the surgical team and and PRAY for a successful surgery.

Thank you so much for your Prayers.

Hello Alliance Youth Family,

Exciting things are happening across Alliance Youth! REFRESH 2026 registration is now OPEN! We’re thrilled to gather again this winter for two incredible events—REFRESH West, January 25–28 in San Jose, CA, and REFRESH East, February 1–4 in Columbus, OH. These gatherings are a time to rest, renew your soul, and connect with other youth workers. You’ll also have the opportunity to join our next Youth Coaching Cohorts—a great space for encouragement and growth.

We’re also excited to announce the launch of the Youth Ministry Leadership Certificate this fall! Designed for volunteer youth workers eager for training but not pursuing a four-year degree, this program equips leaders to build healthy, Christ-centered ministries. Explore it now on the ACLD platform or contact the AY office allianceyouth@cmalliance.org for more details.

Understanding today’s culture is essential for meaningful ministry with students. The Culture Translator from Axis provides weekly insights into what’s shaping Gen Z, from social media trends to the latest in music, movies, and technology. Use it as a conversation starter with your team, students, and parents to stay connected and equipped for gospel-centered engagement.

Thank you for leading with passion, purpose, and joy. The best days of ministry are still ahead!
