Several dozen neighborhood children came to
Joe’s house for church the next Sabbath. All the Pathfinder leaders and their families came as well, and they brought food for everyone.
Then something happened that made Joe very happy: his
mom decided to be baptized! Not long after, his 20-yearold cousin was baptized too, and so were three of his
neighborhood friends whom Joe had introduced to Pathfinders.
Today, Joe’s living room is packed every Sabbath with some 70 people, and plans are underway to open a permanent church in the neighborhood.
Meet 13-year-old Joe, who grew a
church for Jesus!
You, too, can help grow God’s church!
Do you know that our church has a special group of missionaries that start new churches just like Joe did? They’re called Global Mission pioneers. They share God’s love with those who don’t know Him and help them become followers of Jesus. To read more amazing stories about pioneers, visit Global-Mission. org. Please pray for them and support their ministry at Global-Mission.org/giving!
