for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

if it is received with thanksgiving.

tell of all his wondrous works!

    "For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor with a shield."  Psalm 5:12


    Our missionary Junio Souza contracted Hepetitus C and has moved his family from Nepal to Thailand for better treatment of his disease.

    UKRAINE continues to crumble, people fleeing as they have no supplies, no electricity, no medical care. Lift up our brothers and sisters in Christ who are in the Ukraine! Our missionaries Jim & Annie Leonovich are in daily contact with the supported churches and Pastors.  




    Evangeline Byrnes-St. Clair has finally returned from the Philippines! She was there for months giving aide to the church and city that needs rebuilding after the devastating typhoon.  Evangeline worked tirelessly, always giving God the glory and thanking Him for the opportunity to serve Him in her country.   Give her a hug when you see her at church, welcome her back!

      CELEBRATION OF LIFE

      Our dear friend Beverly Kingsbury went home to be with the Lord on Oct. 30th. Her family are arranging to have a Celebration Service for Beverly here at Desert Springs on Thursday, November 14 @ 11:00 am. Please join us in honoring and remembering our precious Sister. 

      Nov. 12th, Eddie & Lynn Hernandez mother, Verle Idabelle Kellstrom, 90 years old (born Oct. 29, 1924) went home to the Lord.  Mom lived with them for the last 8 years; every day she was blessed with their love and kindness. Though Eddie, Lynn and all her friends will miss Verle terribly...beautiful memories will live on forever. 


      Constant Prayer...
      (sent in by Ethel Richardson to Lynn Whitaker)

      Prayer - someone has said that if Christians really understood the full extent of the power we have available through prayer we might be speechless.  Did you know that during WWII there was an adviser to Churchill who organized a group of people who dropped whatever they were doing, every day at a prescribed hour, for one minute to collectively pray for the safety of England, its people and peace?  There is now a group of people organizing the same thing here in America.  if you would like to participate: Every evening at 9 PM Eastern (8 PM Central, 7 PM Mountain, & 6 PM Pacific), stop whatever you are doing and spend one minute praying for the safety of the United States troops, our first responders, our citizens, and for a return to a Godly nation.  Our prayers are the most powerful asset we have.
