New Gloucester is in the center of an area commonly described as the most spiritually dark place in North America. Maine likely brings to mind the ocean, mountains, and pine trees, but our area also suffers from a growing housing and drug crisis. Prayer Requests: 1) Pray for the church to be able to reach out to young families through our children's ministry, "Kids Quest." This year we had a record number of children at VBS – an average of 80 per day. 2) Pray for the church's commitment to discipleship. 3) Pray for continued unity in our church body. 4) Pray for the Lord's strength for Kathi and me as we minister.
Weldon and Dorothy have been in the ministry over 50 years. Their vision is to go to the nations, ministering among the churches, encouraging pastors and training workers. Their mission is in Cebu, Philippines, planting churches and training those called to ministry. Weldon is chancellor of Jesus’ House rehab; he oversees a dozen efforts in Cebu. Dorothy pastors a local group and hosts school programs for children, providing training to help locals establish their faith and family businesses.
