We are very excited about our new Global Outreach special focus area—the nation of Bangladesh.
In October we sent a team (Ben, Josh, Matt, Dave, and Liz) to the country on a vision trip. They came back with some great stories, insight and ideas.
Please pray for continued guidance and discernment as we seek God's will for how our church family could serve the people of Bangladesh. Also, please pray for the following specific requests that were shared at our prayer and worship night on January 22.
