From Darkness to Light
|
A Village Community - Long Beach, CA
Chris & Lorraine Fukunaga have faced spiritual darkness in the Long Beach community, but God has used their church to change that darkness through the light of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
A Village Community is a small urban church located in the epicenter of downtown Long Beach. They meet in and run a 24/7 art gallery called The Creative Design Lab. There they hold Sunday worship services, offer a mid-week Bible study, and also do various service projects and art show outreaches to the community.
Chris and Lorraine are ministering as missionaries in this downtown city area. "A downtown city area is where the poor are, where race is an upfront issue, where the 'tax collector and sinner' are the norm. It is this type of place that is hard for the human heart to love. But it is where Jesus always loved. This is where He wants His church to go, too." -Chris
Jesus said, "I am the light of the world."

Thankful Hearts Christmas Outreach
|
|
Iglesia Corazones Agradecidos (Thankful Hearts), Eagle Lake, FL- Caleb and Eileen Colon, along with their team, distributed Christmas gifts to several families in need in the Wahneta/Eagle Lake area. This outreach was a powerful way of expressing the love of Christ during the Christmas season. This church has been working hard to establish relationships with unchurched families, and they are beginning to see an openness to the gospel among the people. Please pray for this new work.
