In our first year at Centro de Adoracion a Dios Church, Snellville, GA, we discovered that this church had never had a VBS. An outside group came to direct it that year, and the same happened on our second year, but this year–2011–the church decided: "With God’s help, we will do it on our own." This might seem pretty basic and simple to you, but it was a big step of faith for a church that in its ten years of life prior to our pastoring, had never had a VBS or any established Children's Ministry. So we began praying for sixty children to come to our VBS on July 25th to 29th, something really impossible in our own eyes but not for God. more

The Lord has given Marietta Alliance Church a vision to reach the teens that reside in their community for the Lord Jesus Christ. Through much prayer, planning, and preparation this vision is now a reality called the Mudroom.

The facility is complete with a pool table, ping pong table, two foosball tables, two flat screen TV’s, a gaming center, four serving counters, comfortable seating, free Wi-Fi, and a house computer. more

From the beginnings of Faith Missionary Alliance Church in Winston Salem, North Carolina, God’s beautiful blessings have been upon its people. Within the past 15 years God has graciously blessed Faith Church with a new Family Life Facility and the renovation of Sunday School classrooms, church office space, nursery accommodations and bathrooms. In 2001, a new Day Care facility and new classrooms were built. God graciously provided for this nearly 1.2 million dollar project with only a small amount of money needing to be borrowed.more

The 2010-2011 Bible Quiz year started off benign enough. As a coach I was concerned that my quiz teams be as prepared as possible and do well. This was not my first year in quizzing but it was my first time starting a junior team. I had introduced Quizzing to the 4th & 5th graders at the South Atlantic District summer camp for several summers and had gotten the young people excited about quizzing in the future. But to start a program for that age and be responsible for getting them ready to quiz was another story! more

Campus Community Church, Toccoa Falls, Georgia, recently hosted a community picnic in a government housing development. This picnic appeared to be pretty standard with hot dogs being grilled, potato salad and chips being served, and kids playing ball. However, despite appearances, this picnic was different: it was a big step in the direction that God’s hand is leading our church as we minister to hurting people in the Toccoa community. more
