Joe and Karla Beard
McCleary, WA

McCleary is located in western Washington, about 20 miles west of the state capital in Olympia. McCleary has become a bedroom community as many residents commute to Olympia. We are also close to areas for hiking, hunting, fishing, and the beach. Our congregation is small but committed to Christ. Prayer Request: 1) Pray for our church to grow in Christ. 2) Pray that we would grow in numbers and that visitors would feel welcomed and loved. 3) Pray for the women's ministry. We have two weekly women's Bible studies, and Karla is planning a women's retreat in early May. 3) Joe leads the men's ministry and is grateful for the core group of men who meet weekly for fellowship and Bible study. A record number of men from our church will attended the Men of the Cross retreat this year. 4) Pray that our family would continue to grow in Christ and that we would be a godly influence and witness in our community.

Astoria Rescue Mission

Astoria Rescue Mission, on Bond Avenue in Astoria, Oregon, has been instrumental in helping both men discover Christ and heal character miscues, by providing time, talent, and treasure to aid their restoration to a productive end. For over 40 years, the ARM houses have given safe places to take refuge, refuel and reinforce the principles of GOD’S love in the lives of those who come broken and in need of being built up in the faith, that delivers.
