Angel & Vanesa Viveros: Codo a Codo (Shoulder to Shoulder)
Lincoln, Nebraska 
 
The Viveros family had no plans to leave Mexico City where Angel was a local pastor. Then they heard about the great need in the U.S. Midwest. Angel and Vanesa felt God calling them more than 1,700 miles away to minister to immigrants— in Lincoln, Nebraska. 

“The impulse in our hearts is to be missionaries, and the Midwest is greatly lacking in ministry to Hispanics,” says Angel. 

The Viveros family is planting Cosecha Iglesia Bíblica in a vibrant, multicultural community. Angel says it’s a place that needs the true gospel in the face of a growing prosperity gospel presence. 

The church is a source of community by intentionally sharing the gospel while meeting physical needs with wellness clinics, English classes and family friendly events. They’ve even gained a reputation in the community—if there’s an event where people are being served, Cosecha Iglesia Bíblica is right in the middle of it. 

Angel says that he, Vanesa and their young daughter, Zuri, are a team and that is their strength. “I’m not just a pastor with a family. We each have a place to serve and create relationships.” 

Prayer Requests
The Spanish-speaking community in Lincoln, Nebraska, to
find community and gospel hope at Cosecha Iglesia Bíblica.
Outreach opportunities to build relationships.
People to understand the true gospel and be rescued from
the prosperity gospel.

Matt & Ruth Lahey: The Rock      St. John’s, Newfoundland

More than a hundred years before Matthew and Ruth Lahey came here as church planters, the last church in the Kilbride neighborhood of St. John’s burned to the ground and was never rebuilt.

“For many Newfoundlanders, the idea of church is bound up in a building: church is something you go to, not what you are,” says Matthew. So, when the building was destroyed, so was the church.

It’s in this melting pot of traditions, progressivism, liberalism and misconceptions of Christianity that the Laheys are planting Kilbride Community Church.

“What we’re doing is frontier missions. We’re in a community that hasn’t had the gospel in it since 1892, or maybe worse, has had a perverted version of the gospel,” says Matthew. 

Church planting here is not a quick process, but the Laheys are committed. “Christianity isn’t something reserved for 90 minutes on Sunday,” says Ruth. “Everything we do is an opportunity to minister to and reach our community—all for Christ’s glory.”

Prayer Requests
God to open eyes and soften hearts of people towards the gospel in St. John’s.
Kilbride Community Church to represent Christ well in an apathetic environment.
God to raise up more workers to come into this harvest.

Hey Church!!

In case you haven’t heard yet, we’re putting on an egg hunt for our community with 20,000 eggs!!! We’re calling it 20K Egg Day! Why? Because we want to serve our community and invite as many people to church on Easter Sunday as possible! 

We have LOTS of invite cards available on the welcome desks at the church to hand out.

On Saturday, April 8th at 1pm at LHS’s practice football field we will scatter 20K eggs and have egg hunts for the following age groups: 0-3 years old, 4-7 years old, and 8-11 years old. We’ll have bounce houses for kids to play on as well. We’re praying that God will send hundreds and hundreds of families to participate in the egg hunt so we can personally invite them to worship with us on Easter Sunday during one of our two worship services – 9:30 or 11am. 

If you have any questions about this event or would like to volunteer to serve, let us know! Please email Pastor Mark (
pastor@fsbcliberal) with your questions or to let us know where you want to serve. Here are the serving opportunities:
  • Registration (x3) – help guests register for the event on the day of, or answer general questions
  • Greeters (x5) – greet guests as they arrive. Smile and wave big! Be prepared to answer general questions
  • Field Generals (x12) – spread eggs across our three age ranges, man the ropes around each field to keep kiddos from jumping the gun, and be available to answer general questions
  • Bounce House attendants (x8-10) – Supervise bounce houses to ensure kid safety
  • General Inviters (as many as possible!) Talk to and personally invite as many people as possible to Easter Sunday at FSBC

           Matt & Amanda Hadden        
   Porcupine, South Dakota
 
When Matt went to the Pine Ridge Reservation, home of the Oglala Lakota tribe, for a short-term, construction mission trip, his plan to be an international missionary changed.

“I looked around and saw tremendous need,” says Matt. “I could hear people speaking a different language. I had entered a different culture and was in the middle of a different people group right here in my own country. These people had been forgotten and I knew God was calling me here.” 
 
Pine Ridge is one of the largest reservations in the United States and among the poorest. Matt and Amanda lead the Čhaŋkú Wašté Ranch, a ministry center on the reservation.
 
Their three-lane approach is through a summer kids camp, providing free home repair and offering medical services through a newly opened clinic.
 
“I have read that less than 3% of Oglala Lakota people claim to know the Lord,” says Matt. “Our goal is to change that statistic and help them experience the hope of a restored life in every aspect.”

Prayer Requests
Wisdom to meet the many needs of the Oglala Lakota people.
Continued favor and partnerships with tribal leaders.
Growth and support for wellness and construction ministries.

“United: Called To Be One” Is this year’s theme for our Annie Armstrong Offering.
 
Reaching people for Christ in North America through the North American Mission Board (NAMB).

With this year’s goal of $2,000 we can read stories of how NAMB is using funds to reach places where people need to hear the words of Christ and given them the opportunity to respond, with “Yes Lord, here am I”.
Emanuel & Ioana Grozea: For All Nations
Ridgewood, New York
 
 Emanuel Grozea was born in communist Romania to a family of smugglers—Bible smugglers. As a teenager, Emanuel felt God calling him into ministry. He pastored for almost a decade in Romania before God moved him and his family to lead a Romanian Baptist church on the verge of closing in New York City. In the Ridgewood community, about half of the neighborhood speaks a language other than English and once was heavily populated with Romanian immigrants.

“God gave us a burden—a vision for what it needs to be in our generation. Our vision is to replant and transition this church from a struggling Romanian church to a House of Worship for all nations,” says Emanuel.

Leading the Maranatha Baptist Church congregation through such a radical change has been challenging. But now, the church is reaching and welcoming Albanian, Nepali, Polish, Latino, Egyptian, Italian, Turkish, and Armenian neighbors, along with Romanians. The language groups meet individually for Sunday school and then come together for corporate worship to joyfully worship as one.

Prayer Requests
Faithfulness in sharing the gospel to all nations in the community.
Maranatha to plant three new churches by 2030.

More supporting churches to partner with Maranatha in prayer and serving.

Hey Church!!

In case you haven’t heard yet, we’re putting on an egg hunt for our community with 20,000 eggs!!! We’re calling it 20K Egg Day! Why? Because we want to serve our community and invite as many people to church on Easter Sunday as possible!

We’ll have bounce houses for kids to play on as well. We’re praying that God will send hundreds and hundreds of families to participate in the egg hunt so we can personally invite them to worship with us on Easter Sunday during one of our two worship services – 9:30 or 11am.

          Sam & Joanna Choi: For All People             
                                         Minneapolis, Minnesota

The Twin Cities area has the largest Somali population outside of Somalia. It is home to the largest Hmong population in the United States, and the Hispanic population has grown by 38% in a decade.
“Although you have different ethnicities and backgrounds in our city, they’re all pocketed and avoid each other,” says church planting missionary Sam Choi of All Peoples Church. But All Peoples Church sets a different example—unity from diversity.
The ministry focus is on the unchurched. It takes patience to disciple new believers whose new faith means major life change. Outreach strategies have included engaging visitors at the Mall of America and regular meals at the park to build relationships. 
Sam says the goal is not to get people to the church for a pastor to share the gospel but for the church members to go out and look for intentional encounters. 
“We’re only blocks from George Floyd Square where he tragically died. Having a truly multi-ethnic church here will be challenging but a powerful witness,” says Sam.

Prayer Requests
  • Growth in numbers to be matched with spiritual maturity.
  • Faithfulness to the mission to reach the nations in Minneapolis.
  • Church to be an everyday experience that doesn’t begin and end in a building.

“In Liberal as in Heaven” is a series about living heavenly values right here in Liberal – at home, at work, in your neighborhood, at grocery stores and restaurants, while resting and competing. When Jesus taught his disciples to pray, part of that prayer was, “your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven”. Jesus spoke about the Kingdom of God more than any other subject during his ministry… Maybe it’s time we talked about it too!

               Vergil & Kelsey Brown: A Front-Row Seat        Portland, Oregon
 

Oregon is one of the least-churched states in the nation. It’s where Vergil and Kelsey Brown planted one successful church in Portland and after 10 years, felt God’s call to leave it in the hands of a new pastor and plant again. 

The family moved to a part of the city that might as well have been another world away—especially for the couple’s kids. For people in the Brown’s community, Christians are an oddity. 

“Most of our neighbors do not know a single Christian, but they ask questions. We quickly had to get comfortable with that. God is leading them to Christ through relationships,” says Vergil. 

The Browns started with a home prayer group that quickly grew into Redemption Church. 

The church is now growing in attendance and baptisms and hopes to soon launch additional church plants. 

“I’m hooked on church planting now and just doing bold things for Jesus,” says Vergil. “It was scary. It was really scary, but we’re so glad we did it.” 

Prayer Requests
  • Redemption Church to be faithful and bold in their
    evangelism efforts.
  • Unity in the growing young church.
  • Joy in the journey for the Brown family.
