Welcoming

Fishers of Men

(Worship Team)

Our missionaries Joe & Judi Portale have

been leading Summer Mission Trips into Paris,

France for many years and last Fall extended an open

invitation to our whole church family to prayerfully

ask the Lord if they were to join them.

A small team (6 adults, 2 teens and 1 toddler)

from Mokuaikaua, who have been fundraising for

many months will be joining the Portales in a few

weeks. Please keep them in your prayers as they help

bring God’s love to the lost. They will be hard at

work serving in a variety of different ministries. One

being the open air meeting where the gospel will be

share through many different forms. Preaching,

drama, traditional dance, mime etc. , just to name a

few.

This experience will provide a wonderful op-

portunity to pray for someone, listen to their life

story, comfort the broken hearted and offer Jesus as a

solution for their life.

Their schedule will also consist of devotional

& worship time, teaching, meetings, testimonies,

sharing and small group prayer. They will also work

with children, individual contacts, the homeless, etc.

What a chance to minister to others! We are also

excited about what God is going to do in their lives

and in other people's lives through this ministry!
