VBC Missionary News

The importance of prayer was one of the key principles brought out by Valley Bible Church Missions Conference keynote speaker Kameel Kilada. The church body had a chance to put that into practice on the closing night of the conference, when the attending missionaries shared prayer requests. I will be posting one per day over the next couple of weeks.

Tim & Brenda Atkins / Northwest Independent Church Extension (Puyallup, WA)

The Atkins are planting a church in the South Hill area of Puyallup. Their ministry goals are to establish evangelistic contacts within our neighborhood and immediate community, proclaim the Gospel with the intent of seeing new converts come to Jesus Christ for salvation, train new believers in evangelism and discipleship through weekly Bible Studies, build a core group of twelve to fifteen familes into an organized church body, and see the establishment of an independent Bible church impacting Puyallup and reaching into the community with the Gospel.

Please pray for an evangelistic Bible study with five couples with whom they have made contact (Kyle/Chris, Darnell/Amy, Bill/Suzanne, Jess/Shannon, Chris/Stacie). Pray for continued spiritual growth with their Thursday Bible study in Acts.
