Good morning, Chandler Friends!

Last Sunday I talked about modern-day disciples who obeyed the call to go “on mission.” One example I used was Denver Friends Church and their pastor, Keith Reeser. Denver Friends has responded to the Venezuelan migrant crisis by converting part of their church building into an overnight shelter for 29 people. Denver Friends also offers two meals a day, clothes, and a weekly Spanish-speaking worship service for those who want to join. They are a small church that has responded to Jesus’ call to “go” in a big way. You can find out more about their recent journey by clicking this link. Keith tells me they have an operating cost of $500/night, which is clearly beyond their normal operating costs. If you would like to support Denver Friends and their ministry, consider the following:

  1. Adding Denver Friends Church to your prayer list.
  2. Sending financial support through this link.
  3. Contacting Keith (pastorkeithdfc@gmail.com, 503-628-9372) and scheduling time to visit Denver for hands-on volunteer help.

My prayer for you this week is that you might continue obeying Jesus’ call to go into the world on mission. Go with Jesus and his people. Go in the power of God. And go with the good news of God’s Kingdom!

A HUGE thank you goes out to my friend Jason Porterfield for building the new website. A total website rebuild would typically cost several hundred dollars—if not thousands—but Jason built our website as a gift to the church. Here’s one way you can say, “thank you” to Jason: buy and read his book! Jason wrote an award-winning, bestselling book called Fight Like Jesus: How Jesus Waged Peace Throughout Holy Week. You can find out more about Jason and the book here.
