We’re thrilled to announce that a team of eight, including Spencer, Andy, and Javen, is embarking on a mission trip to Colorado with family and ministry school friends! This journey highlights our ministry family in action, and we can’t wait to see how the Holy Spirit moves!
First Stop: Denver Street Outreach
The team will kick off their mission in Denver, focusing on street outreach to support those experiencing homelessness. Jim and Spencer have assembled personal care kits to distribute while sharing the gospel and praying for the people they meet. With supplies from GHR/Flourish and Under the Influence Ministries, they’re equipped with Bibles in English and Spanish and handout cards featuring QR codes for evangelism resources in multiple languages.
Next Stop: Mountain Trails & Team Building
After Denver, the team will hike in Colorado Springs, continuing their ministry on the trails by witnessing and praying for fellow hikers. Carolyn has also provided silicone evangelism bracelets to spark meaningful conversations everywhere they go.
Partner with Us in Prayer
We invite you to pray for:
- The Holy Spirit's Leading: For the Holy Spirit to be present, guiding every member in His love & wisdom.
- Divine Appointments: For meaningful encounters along the way.
- Protection & Unity: For safe travels and strong bonds within the team.
- Language & Connection: That our resources effectively reach and impact hearts.
Thank you for being the foundation of prayer that makes trips like this—and the many more to come—possible. We look forward to sharing the beautiful testimonies when they return!

Every project we take on is rooted in family connection, a heart for discipleship, and a desire to help people experience a true sense of belonging.
