Radi Center is Going Strong!

Over 50 of you (Eugene 1st members) had the privilege to volunteer in Argentina in various capacities.  Medical clinics were held, tons of kids' activities were put on, and 10 churches were planted!

However, some of you toiled and labored for days on end to create one of the most well-used facilities in South America.  We just wanted to share a little update.  The Bruno Radi Convention Center is used 7 days a week, for both church events and community events.

These pictures are from an Interdenominational Christian Leadership Conference.  There were over 3500 people there!

And here is a little video with even more details on how the building is being used.

We also had some fun afterwards at Roaring Rapids!

Please remember to pray for this family as they continue to travel and share the good news about what God is doing in the South Pacific.  Pray they have the encouragement from other churches as well as sustained energy in their travel schedule.

Praise the Lord for the work this family is doing for the expansion of God's Kingdom!

Ladies at the Eugene Mission

The serving never stops here in Eugene!  Our Ladies Ministry has officially begun their latest new form of reaching and serving others.

Our church has been approved for a small time slot at the Eugene Mission and during that time a small message from the Word is shared with women and children.  Some other activities were also introduced and all the ladies who helped out were inspired and excited for the next time.

We would like to ask you to pray for this new ministry.  The women and children they will be reaching are in a hard place in their lives and need this.  Pray that God works through this new team of gals to connect with the individuals He brings to the sessions.  Pray for miracles and lives to be changed in the name of Jesus!

Stephen Ministries - Love in Action

Have you heard of Stephen Ministries?  Do you want to know more about it?  We'd like to challenge you to prayerfully consider a new step in your call to serve others. 

 

This ministry is about training you to be able to care for people in a powerful way.  There are six months of training and then you will serve for 18 months after that.

Applications for the new class are due Sunday and can be picked up in the church lobby.

If you would like more information before that, hear testimonies of how it has worked for our church or have any other questions, click here to email us.

Project Hope Video

Project Hope was a giant success last weekend!  Dozens of people from our church teamed up with First Baptist and Fairfield Baptist to volunteer their time to serve our community.  Check out this video that captures all their hard work and serving:
