Ministry Update

Grace Fellowship Church, Preston, ID

Dear Prayer Partners,
As we quickly run through the first month of the year 2024, let me remind you of your value to us. Having a prayer support team is the first essential for front line ministry. Your prayers on our behalf continue to be answered to the glory of God. I also realize that some of you are hurting and need prayer. We thank God for you and welcome any prayer requests you might have.
Our type of ministry, revitalization, is a series of transitions. We are now in a very exciting transition year as I am starting to share the leadership with our future full-time pastor. If God continues to bless this move we anticipate Brian taking the lead next year. We had an average attendance this year of 104 and we are getting close to having the ability to support a full-time Pastor. We are starting another membership class in February and already have two people desiring baptism on Easter.
Prayer requests:
- Smooth leadership transition.
- God’s leading for us down the road.
- God providing land or a building.
- Maturity of our church and gospel opportunities in the community.
