God’s Grace in Summer Missions By Pastor Alex Ielase Summertime means plenty of fun in the sun. It also brings great opportunities for ministry. Reach students are preparing for two main weeks. June 26July 1, a group of 16 students and leaders will be heading to the boardwalk of Ocean City, MD.
We will be ministering to folks in a few ways. There will be 4-6 visual sermons throughout each night. These are interactive-the preacher paints as they preach, invites the audience to solve riddles, ultimately leading to a Gospel message. Then, there’s an invitation to come forward for further questions, prayer, and discussion.
