REJOICE WITH US — GOD HAS BEEN MOVING IN PORTLAND THIS SUMMER!

Churches throughout the region have been banding together to show the Portland metro area the overwhelming love of Jesus. Can you imagine it? Portland… saturated with believers… united together to serve those in need while praying for the city and worshipping our great God.

Over 130 churches came together to say “Yes!” to serve and pray for the metro area in strategic ways. These efforts culminated in a worship gathering on the Portland Waterfront on July 23, 2023.

Over 1,200 people gathered in unity to worship and praise God for all He has done and continues to do in our region. There were lawn games, local food trucks, and worship by local worship leaders with special guest, Matt Redman!

We had the privilege of hearing Wendy Palau ask a young woman about her testimony. In the past few years, she became a follower of Jesus after hearing God speak to her when she was sick and in the hospital. Through this breakthrough of beginning a relationship with Jesus, she was healed and reached out to a local church to get further connected to fellow believers despite her family’s requests to not become a Christian. We were so encouraged by her story and faith!

Then, Andrew Palau shared the hope of Jesus Christ and invited people into a new life with God, and we saw many respond to the Gospel. And this is just the beginning! The Church in Portland has been immensely inspired and uplifted by this season — we can’t wait to hear more about the fruit of it in the coming days. Let’s continue to pray for God to move in Portland and cities around the world.
