Due to a last minute series of flight changes and booking challenges, our team arrived at the airport on Thursday to find out that we did not have tickets to get to Malawi. While our travel agent and Miqlat partners worked extremely hard to find a way to get our team on a flight, it wasn't possible within the time constraints. Taking the earliest available flights would have gotten us to Malawi with only a few days to spend at the Hope Centers and in the classrooms - and even those flights were not guaranteed. With such a severe interruption in plans, our Miqlat partners and team leadership made the extremely difficult decision to cancel the trip for this summer believing that this was God's intervention. We are praying that He makes His plans clear to us and that He will provide answers as to why this was the outcome.

We're collecting school supplies, hygiene items & toys in June & July for Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes. You can bring items to drop off in the church lobby on Sundays starting June 22 - July 20. Learn more about gift suggestions and guidelines here. Join us to pack shoeboxes together on Friday, July 25th at 6:30p in the Family Life Center. 

You can help our community by volunteering at the Orangevale-Fair Oaks Food Bank! As a church, we're committed to helping distribute food on a monthly basis. We need ~15 volunteers from 9am-12:30pm on the second Friday of each month.
NEXT DISTRIBUTION DATE: July 11

Since 2020, we've hosted monthly food drives to support local food banks and help our neighbors in need. Starting in August, we’re making a small change to how we collect food donations:

• Food drives will continue on the 2nd weekend of most months
• Donations will be accepted on Sundays only (we will no longer collect food on Saturdays)
• You can continue to drive up to the front of the Worship Center to drop off donations and our team will help unload.

This adjustment will help us streamline our efforts while continuing to provide meaningful support to those who rely on local food banks. We’re grateful for your ongoing participation!

Become a sponsor to help children and young adults in rural Malawi. This program creates access to a new quality of life and expands opportunities for flourishing instead of just surviving. Sponsors give $46 per child per month. This provides high quality education (at Miqlat Primary School, Private Secondary School or Trade School), uniforms and all necessary school supplies, daily nutritious meals, access to quality healthcare, sustainable agricultural techniques, life-giving spiritual discipleship. 

We believe in supporting and serving our local community in addition to reaching the ends of the earth. 

We support missionaries and agencies doing God's work
in spreading the Gospel all around the world!
