NW OUTREACH MINISTRIES16 What will happen? We trust God for moving hearts and minds into the places He desires. We can never truly know the inward things that happen, but we have been privileged to hear wonderful results of obedience. Our prayer is that each church family be empowered in wisdom and unified in purpose.

NW OUTREACH MINISTRIES17 How will we know? What if Peter had stayed in the boat when Jesus said, “come?”

NW OUTREACH MINISTRIES18 “we don’t want to put a burden on people’s time” “a handful of people do all the work – there is no commitment from others” “we already have testimony time in our church” “we would love for you to come and share with us!” Before a Living Weekend we’ve heard…

NW OUTREACH MINISTRIES 19 Positive impact… “After your team came to our church, our children have started reading scriptures more than ever before!” Annie “I have never witnessed the moving of the Holy Spirit before and I now know God is real!” Bill I had never looked at the Grace of God in that way before! Wayne “We are forming more small groups” Pastor Lyons We have much to do to impact our community, but we’re ready to reach out…” Pastor Ford “what you shared has touched my life!” Linda
