Steve and Lisa Rief
Redland, OR

Redland is in rural Clackamas County about 20 miles southeast of Portland. Most residences are on multiple acre lots and many have horses, livestock, or hay fields. This beautiful area was once home to vast berry farms; today Christmas tree farms and small ranches dot the area. Redland is primarily a bedroom community for the nearby metro area. Prayer Requests: 1) Please pray for us as we reach out to the Redland community with monthly Family Fun Nights and our Free Zone Clothing Outlet -- stocked with clothing and necessary items. 2) Pray for our ministry to women as we create gift baskets for mothers who choose life. 3) Pray for continued unity among our church board and church body. Pray that we would humbly evaluate all we do by His Word.
